From: Global Industry Analysts, Inc., San Jose, California/US, http://www.strategyr.com
Date: Feb 2016
The research provides a comprehensive market overview, current market trends, key growth drivers, recent industry activity, and profiles of major/niche global market participants. The report provides annual sales estimates and projections for the years 2010 through 2018 in value (US$) for geographic markets including the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and rest of world.
Key product segments analyzed include bolts, nuts, screws, rivets/washers and others. Key end-use sectors analyzed include automotive, aerospace, construction, mechanical engineering and others.
The global market for industrial fasteners is forecast to reach US$81 billion by the year 2018. Key factors fuelling market growth include revival in motor vehicle production, increased demand from developing regions, and potential growth in construction, electrical and electronic, and aerospace sectors. Fasteners are also in high demand in the manufacture of electrical oriented products, such as lightening and wiring devices, home appliances, and construction equipment.
The highly fragmented industrial fasteners market is characterized by aggressive competition with several large and small players competing to maintain their respective market positions. In various regions, industry consolidation was a predominant trend as small players merged operations with larger prominent players to leverage their resources.
As stated by the market research report, Asia-Pacific represents the largest and fastest growing regional market worldwide, growing at a compounded annual rate of 10.5% over the analysis period. Tremendous growth in the Asia-Pacific market can be attributed to China. China is the leading producer and exporter of industrial fasteners in the world. Increased production of motor vehicles, industrial machinery, and electrical and electronic components and renovation of infrastructure provided ample opportunities for growth of Industrial Fasteners market in China. Government investments in commercial and military aircraft and impending aerospace projects such as solar research, aerospace shuttles and scientific recoverable satellites, have added to the growth in demand for aerospace fasteners. Restrictions on Chinese fastener imports have popularized Industrial Fasteners from Taiwan in the global market.
Bolts represent the largest product segment in the industrial fasteners market. Growing demand for specialized aircraft products and renovations, upgrades, add-ons of existing houses, apartment complexes, and other buildings are major factors propelling growth in this product category. Non-threaded standard and high performance fasteners are forecast to experience the highest demand in the next few years. High performance fasteners are likely to derive demand from new car and automotive applications. Aerospace and automotive would continue to generate bulk of the industrial fastener demand. Fasteners used in electronic products, along with plastic fasteners and high-performance and high-end specialty designs, are expected to have fastest growth rates.
Screws constitute the second largest product category in the global industrial fastener market.
Key players profiled in the report include Acument Global Technologies Inc., Alcoa Fastening Systems, FabriSteel, Finnveden Bulten Ab, Illinois Tool Works Inc., Anixter International, LISI Group, MacLean-Fogg Company, MNP Corp., Nitto Seiko Co., Ltd., Nucor Corp., Sundram Fasteners Limited, The Marmon Group LLC, Atlas Bolt & Screw Company, and TRW Automotive, among others.

Fastener Companies in China
From: Asia Market Information & Development Company (AMID),
Woodinville, WA/USA, http://www.chinesemarketreport.com
Date: Dec 2015
This study focuses on China’s Fasteners industry assessments and company profiles. In the two past decades, the industry has been growing at a fast pace. The dramatic expansions of the manufacturing capabilities and rising consumer consumptions in China have transformed China’s society and economy. China is one of the world’s major producers for industrial and consumer products. Far outpacing other economies in the world, China is the world’s fastest growing market for the consumptions of goods and services. The Chinese economy maintains a high speed growth which has been stimulated by the consecutive increases of industrial output, imports & exports, consumer consumption and capital investment for over two decades. Rapid consolidation between medium and large players is anticipated since the Chinese government has been encouraging industry consolidation with an effort to regulate the industry and to improve competitiveness in the world market.
Although China has enjoyed the benefits of an expanding market for production and distribution, the industry is suffering from minimal innovation and investment in R&D and new product development. The
sector’s economies of scale have yet to be achieved. Most domestic manufacturers lack the autonomic intellectual property and financial resources to develop their own brand name products.
This study analyzes the industry structure, capacities and output. Data were collected from the Chinese government publications, Chinese language newspapers and magazines, industry associations, local governments’ industry bureaus, industry publications, and in-house databases.
