Anchoring and fixing involve securely attaching components or structures to solid surfaces like walls, floors, or ceilings using mechanical fasteners such as bolts, screws, or chemical adhesives. This process ensures the stability, load-bearing capacity, and safety of installations in construction, mechanical systems, or equipment setups by preventing movement, vibration, or structural failure.
The main product categories in anchoring and fixing include cementitious fixing, resin fixing, and others. Cementitious fixing involves bonding or securing materials with a cement-based adhesive or mortar that hardens to create a strong, durable connection. Various anchoring systems include mechanical anchors, chemical anchors, and expandable anchors. Materials commonly used include steel, stainless steel, aluminum, polymers, and composites. These products are applied across construction, industrial, mining, infrastructure, and automotive sectors and are utilized by contractors, architects, engineers, maintenance professionals, and do-it-yourselfers (DIYers).
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 rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.
The anchoring and fixing market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides anchoring and fixing market statistics, including the anchoring and fixing industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the anchoring and fixing market share, detailed anchoring and fixing market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the anchoring and fixing industry. This anchoring and fixing market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The anchoring and fixing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $13.66 billion in 2024 to $14.38 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising urbanization, increasing demand for residential construction, heightened focus on infrastructure safety, expansion of commercial real estate, and greater adoption of mechanical anchors.
The anchoring and fixing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.48 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%. The growth projected for the forecast period is driven by a growing focus on smart construction, increasing renovation and retrofitting activities, rising investments in infrastructure projects, expansion of modular building systems, and heightened demand for high-strength anchoring solutions. Key trends expected during this period include technological advancements in anchor design and materials, ongoing innovations in corrosion-resistant fasteners, development of eco-friendly chemical anchoring products, research into improved load-bearing performance, and the integration of automated, precision-based installation systems.
The growth of the anchoring and fixing market is expected to be driven by increasing construction activities. Construction activities encompass building, renovating, and demolishing structures and infrastructure, playing a vital role in economic development and urban expansion. This rise is fueled by growing urbanization, which increases demand for residential and commercial buildings to support expanding populations. Anchoring and fixing solutions are crucial in construction as they securely fasten structural components, ensuring safety, durability, and efficient assembly of buildings and infrastructure. For example, in March 2025, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US government agency, projected construction industry growth of 4.7% between 2023 and 2033, outpacing the overall industry growth rate of 4.0%. The sector is also expected to create approximately 380,100 new jobs, reaching over 8.4 million employees by 2033. Thus, the rise in construction activities is driving growth in the anchoring and fixing market.
Leading companies in the anchoring and fixing market are developing innovative solutions such as undercut anchors to reduce stress on base materials. Undercut anchors are fasteners that lock into a specially created undercut cavity within the base material, offering strong resistance to pullout forces. For instance, in April 2024, Fischer India, a construction company based in India, introduced the FSU undercut anchor. Made from galvanized steel, it provides enhanced durability and corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Its self-undercutting mechanism ensures strong, reliable fastening where high load capacity and safety standards are critical. This anchor is designed to secure heavy structural elements, machinery, piping systems, and indoor installations, performing reliably in both cracked and uncracked concrete. It is suitable for applications in power plants, refineries, infrastructure projects, and the oil and gas sector.
In April 2022, Simpson Manufacturing Co. Inc., a US-based building products manufacturer, acquired ETANCO Group for $800 million (€725 million). This acquisition aims to strengthen Simpson Manufacturing's presence in the European market and expand its product portfolio by incorporating ETANCO's well-established fixing and fastening solutions. ETANCO Group is a France-based company specializing in designing, manufacturing, and distributing fixing and fastening products for building construction.
