Automotive Fasteners Global Market Report 2025

Automotive fasteners are essential components in vehicle manufacturing used to securely connect various parts, including engine components, body panels, and interior assemblies. This category encompasses bolts, nuts, screws, clips, and rivets, all of which contribute to ensuring structural integrity, safety, and durability.

The primary types of automotive fasteners include threaded and non-threaded variants. Threaded fasteners such as nuts, bolts, and screws play a crucial role in holding automotive components together. These fasteners are crafted from various materials such as iron, steel, aluminum, brass, plastic, and others. They find applications across different types of engines categorized by propulsion, including IC engine vehicles, electric vehicles, and hybrid/alternative fuel vehicles. Automotive fasteners are utilized in various components such as engines, chassis, transmission, steering, front/rear axle, interior trim, among others.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a considerable impact on the transport services sector by increasing the costs of vehicles, spare parts, and fuel-critical inputs frequently imported from tariff-affected regions. Freight operators, logistics companies, and public transportation providers are experiencing margin pressures as elevated equipment and maintenance expenses coincide with limited flexibility to pass these costs on to customers due to intense market competition. This climate of uncertainty has also led to delays in fleet upgrades and the adoption of greener, more energy-efficient vehicles, hindering progress toward sustainability objectives. In response, transport firms are enhancing route optimization, investing in fuel-efficient technologies, renegotiating supplier agreements, and adopting collaborative logistics strategies to share resources and cushion the financial impact of rising tariffs.

The automotive fasteners market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides automotive fasteners market statistics, including automotive fasteners industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an automotive fasteners market share, detailed automotive fasteners market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the automotive fasteners industry. These automotive fasteners market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The automotive fasteners market size has grown marginally in recent years. It will grow from $28.23 billion in 2024 to $28.55 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased automobiles production, increased demand for commercial vehicles, and strong economic growth in emerging markets.

The automotive fasteners market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $31.17 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for electric vehicles and supportive government regulations. Major trends in the forecast period include launching self-clinching fasteners, developing new technological solutions, launching lightweight carbon fiber fasteners, launching new, innovative products, and undergoing partnerships and collaborations.

The forecast of 2.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.6% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Duties on cold-forged steel and specialty alloys may increase prices of fasteners, which are critical to vehicle structural integrity and safety compliance. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growing demand for electric vehicles is anticipated to drive the expansion of the automotive fasteners market in the future. Electric vehicles are those that are either partially or fully powered by electricity. High-quality fastenings are essential for EV infrastructure equipment and battery casings to ensure secure settings. For example, in April 2024, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, reported that nearly 14 million new electric cars were registered worldwide in 2023. This marks an increase of 3.5 million units in electric car sales compared to 2022, representing a 35% year-on-year growth. Consequently, the rise in electric vehicles is expected to propel the automotive fasteners market's growth.

Companies operating in the market are actively engaged in the introduction of new and innovative products as part of their strategy to enhance their product offerings and maintain competitiveness. In July 2022, Henkel, a Germany-based chemical and consumer goods company, unveiled a new product named Loctite DRI 2250-W. This product, categorized as a medium to high-strength pre-applied thread locker, is designed for use in high-speed and sustainable automotive applications. It stands out with attributes such as high-speed throughput, high-temperature resistance, and sustainability advantages arising from its water-based composition.

Automotive fastener companies are engaging in partnerships and collaborations to enhance their market position. For example, in October 2022, Ascend Performance Materials, a US-based manufacturer of high-performance materials, joined forces with ITW Global Fasteners, a German automotive fasteners manufacturer. This partnership aimed to pilot blockchain traceability for the production of fasteners with a significantly lower carbon footprint. Additionally, in April 2024, Sterling Tools Limited, an India-based manufacturer and supplier of automotive fasteners, collaborated with Yongin Electronics, a South Korean company. The goal of this partnership is to establish a production facility for electric vehicle (EV) components in India, thereby boosting local manufacturing capabilities in the EV sector.

In June 2024, Novastone Capital, a Switzerland-based investment firm, acquired Mecavit for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to invest in the company while preserving its legacy of quality and reliability in fastener manufacturing, particularly for the automotive sector. Mecavit is an Italy-based manufacturer specializing in special fasteners, especially screws made from carbon steel and hardened steels.
