Industry Insights Global industrial fasteners market is expected to witness significant demand
growth over the next six years on account of increasing demand for fasteners in automotive
industry. In addition, growing construction industry as a result of economic growth and
industrialization in emerging markets including China, Brazil, Russia, Poland, U.S. and India is
expected to further drive fasteners demand. Increasing consumption in electrical and electronics,
aerospace, machinery and MRO applications is anticipated to fuel industrial fasteners market
growth over the forecast period. Rising motor vehicles demand on account of increasing
disposable income is expected to propel need for fasteners in automotive OEM. Asia Pacific is
expected to witness significant market growth over the forecast period owing to increasing
government investments in commercial aircraft & aerospace, non building construction and
defense applications. High amounts of anti-dumping duty imposed within the European Union are
expected to restrain industrial fasteners market growth over the next six years. In addition,
alternative methods such as clinching, adhesives and welding are expected to restrict fasteners
demand. Advanced processing techniques and improved mechanical properties are expected to
provide new growth opportunities for the industrial fasteners market. In addition, development of
railroad fasteners is expected to open new market avenues in the next six years. Global Industrial

Product Insights Industrial fasteners are segmented on the basis of products which include
externally threaded, aerospace grade and other standard fasteners (internally threaded and non-
threaded fasteners). Externally threaded fasteners were the most dominant product segment in
2013 and are expected to witness significant demand growth on account of increasing use in
automotive and machinery OEM, and construction applications. Aerospace grade fasteners are
expected to witness the fastest growth over the next six years owing to increasing government
investment in aerospace, infrastructure and defense industry mainly in China, Middle East, India,
South Korea, Russia, Brazil, and Japan. Application Insights Industrial fasteners find applications in
automotive OEM, machinery OEM, construction, MRO and other OEM (electrical and electronics,
aerospace). Other OEM including electrical and electronics, aerospace & defense and industrial
accounted for over 25% of market demand in 2013. Automotive OEM was the second largest
market and is expected to show lucrative growth over the next six years as a result of accelerating
automobile demand in countries including China, Japan, Australia, U.K, U.S and India. MRO was the
third largest application segment in 2013 and is expected to grow on account of increasing
maintenance activities in Europe and North America. Industrial fasteners demand in construction
applications is expected to witness rapid growth due to rising government funding for large scale
infrastructure and residential construction in emerging markets including China, Argentina, India,
Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. Regional Insights Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2013,
accounting for over 30% of global market and is expected to observe major demand growth owing
to increasing production of motor vehicles, industrial machinery, and electrical & electronic
components in the region. In addition, growing construction industry in China, Japan, India,
Thailand, South Korea and Taiwan is further expected to fuel market growth. Moreover, MENA is
expected to witness high fasteners demand on account of growing construction industry in the
region. Europe and North America are matured markets and are expected to witness slow
demand growth over the next six years. Competitive Insights Global industrial fasteners market is
highly fragmented in nature and includes key players such as Acument Global Technologies, Nifco,
LISI Group, ITW, Alcoa, Standard Fasteners Ltd., Precision Castparts Corp., Dokka Fasteners, Kova
Fasteners Pvt. Ltd., Hilti, Penn Engineering, EJOT, ATF Inc., Stanley Black & Decker and MW
Industries Inc. Various companies are employing nanocomposite material processing techniques
for aerospace fasteners production which is anticipated to improve performance characteristics
along with cost reduction. Standard Fasteners Ltd. is engaged in production of non-ferrous
fasteners which are widely used in marine and commercial applications on account of exceptional
wear and corrosion resistance properties. industrial-fasteners-market
