In 2023, China's investment casting materials and equipment enterprises saw a growth of about 6%, mainly due to the growth in demand for automotive parts and the increase in exports to Southeast Asia. With the rapid development of the investment casting industry in Southeast Asia, it is expected that the export of China's investment casting related products will further increase.
