Summary

Global demand to grow 4.8% yearly through 2012

Global demand for industrial fasteners is projected to increase 4.8 percent annually to $66 billion in 2012. Fastener demand, which reached $52 billion in 2007, grew nearly 9 percent annually since 2002. Although part of this growth is inflationary in nature, especially since 2005, real gains in demand have been fueled by increases in world economic growth, increased fixed investment activity and greater manufacturing production. Although future market gains will be somewhat constrained by the use of new materials and manufacturing methods that reduce the numbers of fasteners required, global gains in motor vehicle production and greater demand for aerospace grade fasteners required for aircraft will contribute to growth.

Asia/Pacific, Western Europe are net exporters

Although many countries engage in the production of fasteners, few are net exporters. For example, the US is a major global supplier of high end fastener products, but is a net importer of fasteners overall. Countries in the Asia/Pacific region are the largest net exporters of fasteners to the rest of the world, followed by Western Europe. Taiwan, Japan and China lead the Asia/Pacific region and the world in net fastener exports. Germany (whose net export position matched Chinas in 2007), Italy and Switzerland contribute the most to Western Europes position as a net exporter. China will soon overtake Japan as the worlds second-largest net exporting country, after Taiwan.

Emerging economies to outpace developed world

Growing manufacturing economies and increases in fixed investment among the worlds emerging economies will bring more rapid growth in fastener demand in these regions relative to the worlds more mature, industrialized nations. Consequently, fastener demand growth in the Asia/Pacific, Africa/Mideast, Eastern Europe and Latin America will outpace demand growth in the US, Japan and Western Europe. China is expected to show the greatest gains in fastener demand of any other country, and is expected to become the worlds secondlargest market for fasteners, after the US, before 2012. Market growth will also be strong in India, Thailand, Taiwan and Russia. Sales growth will be stimulated by favorable economic conditions and higher income levels leading to a rise in manufacturing activity and consumer expenditures for durable goods. Although countries with emerging economies will be the fastest growing markets for fasteners, the more developed economies -- such as the US, Canada, Japan and most of Western Europe -- will remain the most intensive users of fastening products, reflecting the advanced industrial and technological nature of their economies.

Motor vehicles still most important end-use sector

Consumption of industrial fasteners by the worlds original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) represented 84 percent of total global fastener demand, with maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) applications accounting for the balance. Among OEMs, motor vehicle manufacturers consume the most fasteners, accounting for 35 percent of global demand in 2007. Electrical & electronic equipment and industrial machinery are also important OEM markets. Additionally, demand for aerospace-grade fasteners is expected to grow at a healthy pace, approaching $5 billion in 2012.
