South Africa is located at the southernmost tip of Africa, with an area of approximately 1.219 million square kilometers and a population of about 60 million.
Its economic structure is dominated by the service industry, accounting for 61% to 65% of GDP, followed by manufacturing and mining.
Mining is a traditional pillar industry, but its proportion has declined in recent years.
The manufacturing industry, especially the automotive industry, is relatively developed.
Furthermore, South Africa has good infrastructure, but its power supply is unstable and there is a significant economic polarization.
Die casting is a part of manufacturing, especially in the automotive industry.
The automotive industry in South Africa holds an important position in Africa, accounting for 80% of the total output in Africa.
International companies such as Toyota have production bases in South Africa, and the government promotes an increase in the proportion of local procurement.
For example, the “South African Automotive Master Plan” plans to raise the proportion of local procurement from 39% to 60%.
The upstream of the die-casting market involves raw materials.
South Africa is rich in mineral resources, especially platinum group metals, chromium, manganese, etc.,
Which may be helpful for the supply of metal materials required for die-casting, such as aluminum and magnesium alloys.
In addition, magnesium alloy die-casting has potential in lightweighting.
Although the output of brucite in South Africa is not high, the application of related technologies.
Such as semi-solid die-casting technology may bring about efficiency improvements.
