Industrial Fasteners Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Raw Material (Metal, Plastic), By Distribution Channel (Direct, Indirect), By Product (Externally Threaded, Internally Threaded), By Application, By Type, By Region, And Segment Forecasts

Industrial Fasteners Market Growth & Trends

The global industrial fasteners market size is anticipated to reach USD 131.45 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2025 to 2030. The market is anticipated to be driven by factors such as the increasing population, significant investments in the construction industry, and rising demand in industries like aerospace and automotive.

Industrial fasteners are available in two major types: metal and plastic. Metal fasteners dominate the industry; however, they are expected to witness lower growth than their counterparts owing to the increasing penetration of materials like plastic in applications such as aerospace and automotive due to their high corrosion resistance and lightweight characteristics.

The market is highly competitive due to the presence of many manufacturers. A major challenge faced by the competitors is the fluctuation of raw material prices; hence, a high degree of backward and forward integration is likely to be observed among the major players in the market. This will further intensify the market rivalry and competition, making it difficult for emerging players to sustain themselves.

The growth of building & construction industry and product penetration in the market directly influence the demand for industrial fasteners. Asia Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth owing to the rapid expansion and magnitude of the construction industry in countries such as India and China. The growing population and high investments in the construction sector are the key factors driving the construction industry in these countries, which, in turn, is projected to boost the market growth over the forecast period.

Major industrial fastener manufacturing companies are established in North America and Asia Pacific; as a result, the global supply shortage for industrial fasteners provides a great business opportunity for players in these regions. Asia Pacific is expected to be the preferred market for fastener manufacturers due to high product demand and lower costs associated with raw materials, labor, land, and power.

Industrial Fasteners Market Report Highlights

• Externally threaded industrial fasteners accounted for 48.08%, the largest revenue market share in 2024. High investments in the region's agriculture, construction, and mining sectors are expected to propel the demand for heavy equipment such as material handling, excavation, drilling, hauling, paving, grading, and lifting machinery over the projected period
• Metal fasteners are expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% over the projected period. They offer high mechanical strength and impact resistance and are less susceptible to harsh conditions such as high temperature and pressure, which is expected to drive the demand over the forecast period
• The Asia Pacific market is estimated to witness the fastest growth at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2030, owing to the growth in the region's infrastructure sector, which is expected to propel the market. Furthermore, automotive, industrial machinery and electronics applications will drive the regional market for industrial fasteners
• Automotive applications of industrial fasteners accounted for about USD 28.61 billion in 2024. High production volumes of automotive vehicles across the Asia Pacific have been a key factor driving the industry's growth over the past few years. Metal has dominated the segment over the past few decades. However, the rising popularity of plastic fasteners, owing to their lightweight and low cost, is expected to drive the industry's growth
• The market is highly competitive and consists of several global and regional players. As the need for creative and application-specific fastener designs rises, opportunities for new players are anticipated. Rising raw material costs and high-volume production by established competitors are anticipated to be major obstacles for new entrants
