A bolt is a mechanical threaded fastener with an external male thread usually used with a nut (female member) for connecting two or more parts. Bolt has a cylindrical body with a head and screw thread along with the portion of its length. The bolted joints are easy to disassemble and reassemble, which makes it a preferred choice. Additionally, it plays an important role in the development of mass-produced articles and steel structures.

Market Dynamics

The increasing automotive production and rapidly growing construction sector are primarily driving the market value. The growing demand for fasteners in the aerospace industry is further supporting the market value. The increasing demand for hybrid fasteners and miniature fastener in the manufacturing industry is additionally accelerating the market value. Rising automation in the manufacturing processes is further expected to contribute to the market value. Moreover, the internal substitution of metal fasteners by plastic fasteners in automotive and other applications is projected to create potential opportunities over the estimated period.

On the other hand, fluctuating cost of raw material and availability of substitutes such as adhesive and tapes is projected o hamper the growth over the forecast timeframe.                      

Metal segment accounted for the major share in the market

By raw material, the metal segment leading the market with major share in terms of value. The importance of metal fastener in heavy-duty applications is supporting the segmental value. Apart from this, the plastic fastener is projected to experience the fastest growth over the estimated period from 2020 to 2027 owing to the increasing demand for lightweight substitutes of bolts in automotive and aerospace sectors. Plastic fasteners are manufactured from materials including polyacrylamide (PAM), polycarbonate (PC), polyurethane (PUR and PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC or Vinyl), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene, and nylon.
