North America Industrial Fasteners Market Size (2024 - 2029)

North America Industrial Fasteners Market Analysis

The North America Industrial Fasteners Market size is estimated at USD 20.70 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 24.29 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 3.25% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Owing to the growth of end-user industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and construction, among others, the demand for industrial fasteners has been increasing in the North American region.

• Industrial fasteners have been one of the primary components for hardware equipment or hardware devices and are designed as permanent or semi-permanent. One of the major advantages of using a semi-permanent fastener is the joints of hardware equipment can be dismantled without damaging the fasteners. Most of the fasteners used for heavy-duty hardware equipment across end-user industries are made of aluminum alloys that consist of elements like iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, and others. The presence of such elements makes it more prone to corrosion and requires coating.
• Anti-corrosion coating is one of the primary requirements for industrial metal fasteners in the industry. Owing to the demand, various anti-corrosion metal coating vendors have been developing newer methods to prevent corrosion for the studied market. For instance, in June 2021, Greenkote announced the new Greenkote G5K coating that delivers a minimum of 5,000 hours of corrosion protection from salt spray testing. The method has enabled to meet ASTM specification B117.
• North America is a home for many Automotive manufacturers, electrical component manufacturers, aerospace manufacturers, and medical equipment manufacturers. For instance, according to the Truck Beat report (2021) by ATD, in H1 of 2021, the sale of commercial trucks stood at 231,813 units, which was up by 28.5% when compared to H1 of 2020. Such trends are expected to drive the demand for industrial fasteners in the region.
• Additionally, the increasing use of industrial fasteners across the construction sector is further supporting the growth of the studied market. For instance, according to The Commerce Department (USA), in May 2022, the construction spending edged up to 0.1% after increasing 0.5% in February 2022.
• However, factors such as emergence of alternatives such as high quality adhesives along with increasing demand for sustainable soultions are challenging the growth of the studied market.
• The outbreak of COVID-19 had severely affected the North American region. This is continuing to have a negative impact on various industries, as demands are shrinking along with several disruptions to supply chain and operational challenges. Decreased activities across the end-user industries had a negative impact on the studied market. However, the market is expected to witness upward trend with the impact of COVID-19 diminishing across the North American region.
