Industrial Fasteners
Growth in the US industrial fasteners market will average 2.6% annually through 2020, reaching $15.2. Gains will decelerate from the much faster growth registered in the 2010-2015 period, when the US manufacturing sector recovered from the 2007-2009 recession. However, advances will be boosted to some extent by more rapid growth in the construction market, which accounts for a smaller share of overall demand than manufacturing applications.
This report segments the industrial fastener industry by product and market. Data is provided in US dollars.
Products include:
Standard fasteners (externally threaded, internally threaded, nonthreaded, application-specific)
Aerospace-grade fasteners ((externally threaded, internally threaded, nonthreaded)
Standard fasteners will remain the largest of these in value terms in 2020, accounting for three-quarters of the market total. However, aerospace-grade products will register faster growth, due to stronger growth in aerospace equipment output.
Major markets include:
Original equipment manufacturing -- OEM (motor vehicles, machinery, aerospace, fabricated metal products, electrical and electronic products, furniture and wood products)
Maintenance/repair/operations -- MRO (services, industrial, public/institutional)
Construction
OEM applications were the leading outlet in 2015, accounting for nearly 80% of demand. The most rapid gains through 2020 are forecast for the construction, fueled by continued growth in construction spending, particularly in the residential building segment.
The report also includes a discussion of acquisition and divestiture activity, market share data, and profiles of industry participants, including Alcoa, ARaymond, Cold Heading, Fontana Luigi, Illinois Tool Works, KAMAX, Link Solutions for Industry (LISI), MacLean-Fogg, Nifco, Precision Castparts, Stanley Black & Decker, and TriMas.
