Industrial Fasteners Global Market Report 2026

Industrial fasteners comprise a diverse category of devices and tools employed for the permanent or semi-permanent connection of two or more components or parts. Known for their robust and secure nature, these fasteners play a crucial role in enhancing safety by firmly connecting joints.

The primary types of industrial fasteners encompass externally threaded, internally threaded, non-threaded, and aerospace-grade fasteners. Among these, metal fasteners stand out as a specific type widely utilized to join multiple components, regardless of whether they are constructed from sheet metal, plastics, or other materials. The raw materials involved in the manufacturing of these fasteners include both metal and plastic. They find application in various sectors such as automotive, aerospace, construction, industrial machinery, plumbing products, and 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.

Tariffs are impacting the industrial fasteners market by increasing costs of imported steel, aluminum, specialty alloys, and precision manufacturing equipment used in bolts, screws, rivets, and aerospace fasteners.
