Asia-Pacific currently dominates the demand for automotive fasteners, and its dominant position will also continue in the projected period. The region rising countries are China, Japan, South Korea, and India. Increasing automobile production, particularly in China and India, as a result of the increasing population and rising disposable income, as well as the economic reform from developed economies into China and India, are the main reasons for a healthy fasteners market in the region. Over the next five years, Europe and North America, two main regions, will also generate strong demand for automotive fasteners. Italy, France, and the UK are Europe's largest markets, while the USA and Canada are North America main markets. The market dynamics of automotive fasteners also have an impact on stringent rules on fuel quality improvements and reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, as the need for plastic fasteners has risen in order for manufacturers to minimize the vehicle's gross weight more.

In the middle of the global economic crisis and trade war between China and the U.S., the industry is facing a heavy headwind. In addition, a variety of other variables influence the growth rate of industry in one area at regional level. The reduction in India's automotive industry growth is responsible, for instance, the increased GST on passenger cars and the compulsory introduction of BS-VI from April 2020. While the sector can't recover from these factors, the recent COVID-19 pandemic hit a severe brake. Corona virus spread across the globe forced the companies to close down, the supply chain was interrupted and the work force quarantined. Major auto giants such as Toyota, Hyundai, Volkswagen AG, and Tesla have shut down production facilities for a certain period, with severe implications for the automotive sector globally.
