Highlights of the 2026 Foundry Outlook Survey

FM&T surveyed managers and decisionmakers across the foundry and diecasting industry to gauge their performance, their perspectives, and the state of their industry during 2025—and inquired what they expect for 2026.

We have put a few of the results of this survey in quiz format, so you can test yourself as to how well you know the industry's 2005 and thoughts on 2026.

We encourage you also (after you take this quiz, so there are no spoilers) to download and read not only the full results of the survey, but also our analysis. Then at the end of the year you can compare our audience's predictions with reality.
