Monitoring equipment, such as ventilators and respiratory systems, all require very specific assembly, including fasteners. Increasing manufacturing of medical devices worldwide is expected to propel the industrial fastener market in the forecasted period. It was found that the revenue of the medical device manufacturing industry in China grew by 13% reaching ~USD 29 billion in 2021.
Growing Global Aircraft Fleet – The construction of aircraft requires nuts, bolts, rivets, screws, cables, washers, and guides, which are all type of industrial fasteners. Thus, with the increased aircraft fleet, the utilization rate of industrial fasteners is also projected to increase in aircraft structures. It is projected to have ~38000 aircraft by 2032, up from 2022, with ~25,500 aircraft in service worldwide.
Upsurge in the Consumption of Energy – For instance, global energy consumption is expected to reach 740 million terajoules by 2040, driving the production capacity of various power generation units.
Increasing Production of Chemical Industry - For instance, the overall revenue of the global chemical industry amounted to around 4.5 trillion U.S. dollars in 2021.
Challenges
The global industrial fasteners market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by material type into metals and plastics. Among these two segments, the metals segment is attributed to holding the largest share of the market by the end of 2033, owing to its better resistance power and mechanical strength that is used in railway networks along with the surge in freight trains along with freight traffic worldwide. For instance, it is estimated that global freight traffic is expected rise to ~3 billion tons by 2030 from ~1 billion tons in 2017. Both forms of metal industrial fasteners, such as nuts and bolts, screws, rivets, clamps, and retaining rings, and those that necessitate a sliding sealant, such as quick-release clamps and couplers, are employed in end-use sectors such as construction, automobiles, aviation, oil & gas, marine & offshore, and others. Further, the availability of metal fasteners in stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, brass, and copper is anticipated to benefit manufacturing electronics and electronic components.
The global industrial fasteners market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by industry into automotive, aerospace, food processing, construction, marine & offshore, power generation, nuclear power plants, oil & gas, home appliances, and paper & pulp processing. Out of these, the automotive segment is projected to hold the most significant share by end of the forecast period. Industrial fasteners such as stainless steel, iron, nickel, aluminum, plastic, and brass are preferred by automotive manufacturers to produce automobiles. Also, the surge in vehicle production, the increase in usage of electronics in vehicles coupled with the rising focus to produce lightweight vehicles are key factors that are attributed to segment growth and revenue generation in the assessment period.
