The industrial fasteners market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Recent years have witnessed considerable expansion in the industrial fasteners market. Its size is predicted to escalate from $94.44 billion in 2024 to $100.03 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. This significant growth during the historical phase can be traced back to factors such as the development in manufacturing and construction sectors, the surge in automotive industry, the globalization of supply chains, infrastructure development initiatives, along with the demands for quality and standardization.
The Industrial Fasteners market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, substantial growth is anticipated for the industrial fasteners market, with its size set to increase to $128.2 billion in 2029, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%.
This projected growth within the forecast period can be tied to various factors such as the rise of renewable energy initiatives, the impact of e-commerce on distribution, the emergence of sustainable fastener solutions, lightweighting initiatives in the automotive sector, and a shift towards lightweight materials. Notable trends for the forecasted timeframe encompass the use of high-performance materials, integration of digitalization and Industry 4.0, customization and specialty fasteners, the digital transformation of inventory management, and technology integration in fastener design.
The surge in construction operations is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the industrial fasteners market. Construction comprises the process of assembling various components to form a structure at a specific site, following a comprehensive design and plan. Industrial fasteners provide corrosion resistance and shear strength to tools like bolts, nuts, screws, rivets, nails, washers, and studs used in construction. Consequently, the growing need for construction bolsters the demand for the industrial fasteners market. As reported by Eurostat, a government agency in Luxembourg, in February 2024, there was a 0.1% and 0.2% rise in the average yearly building production in the EU and euro area, respectively, relative to 2022. For this reason, the escalating need for construction activities propels the industrial fasteners market's growth.
