Automotive Fasteners Market Report: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year and the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Automotive Fasteners Market Drivers
The growing popularity of structural blind fasteners is also driving the automotive fasteners market. The automotive industry is increasingly demanding lightweight materials for components, resulting in significant advances in vehicle design and construction. The use of lightweight materials, such as aluminum, improves fuel economy and agility by reducing vehicle weight, but this presents design challenges that can be overcome with the use of blind fasteners. These fasteners can join dissimilar metals, like aluminum to steel or carbon fiber, and are less costly, easy to install, and inspect. Structural and non-structural blind fasteners are the two types used in automotive applications. Structural blind fasteners, such as those offered by Arconic Fastening Systems, can bear high loads and are gaining popularity in the industry. The increasing use of blind fasteners is expected to drive the global automotive fasteners market during the forecast period.
Significant Automotive Fasteners Market Trends
The growing popularity of lightweight fasteners solutions is a major automotive fasteners market trend. Fasteners must provide lightweight solutions without compromising strength as lightweight materials are used in the body, chassis, and interior applications, as well as for powertrain components. Technologies such as clinching, flow drilling screws, and thread-forming screws are used to join dissimilar or thin materials to reduce vehicle weight. Luxury automakers like Cadillac, Audi, and Porsche use advanced fastening methods like laser welding, spot welding, and structural adhesives to achieve strong and lightweight frames. Self-piercing riveting is also used by major automakers like Honda, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ford, Fiat Chrysler, and GM. These fastening technologies are expected to expand to mid-segment vehicles in the future. The growing popularity of lightweight fastener solutions is expected to drive the growth of the global automotive fasteners market during the forecast period.
Major Automotive Fasteners Market Challenges
Fasteners-related recall due to improper manufacturing procedures is a major factor hindering the automotive fasteners market industry. Product recalls are a significant challenge for industries, including the automotive industry, as they incur huge costs. In the case of automotive fasteners, recalls can happen due to improper material or weak design and assembly. These issues can be reduced by adopting proper manufacturing and quality control procedures. The major quality issues arise due to improper heat treatment, incorrect raw materials, and thread rolling/cutting issues. Though fastener-related issues have decreased, they have not been eliminated, as evidenced by the 2019 recall of Jeep Cherokee luxury vehicles by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles due to loose passenger front seat fasteners. Such recalls pose a challenge for the global automotive fasteners market.

Automotive Fasteners Market Segmentation by End-User, Vehicle Type, Geography
End-User Analysis
The market share growth by the OEM segment will be significant during the forecast period. The OEM holds the highest share of the global automotive fasteners market in 2022 and is expected to continue during the forecast period. In the automotive industry, OEMs use fasteners for various applications. In most cases, these automotive fasteners are first tested to ensure they will perform well once the vehicle hits the market. Such factors ill increase segment growth during the forecast period.

Get a glance at the market contribution of various segments View Sample PDF
The OEM segment was valued at USD 14,778.56 million in 2017 and continue to grow by 2021. Automotive fasteners allow dissimilar materials to join without using adhesives, which can be messy, and bonds may not be as strong as those created by screws or automotive bolts. Thus, with the increasing production activities in the automotive sector, the demand for automotive fasteners will also increase during the forecast period. Thus, the OEM segment in the global automotive fasteners market is expected to grow during the forecast period.
Vehicle Type Analysis
The demand for fuel-efficient passenger cars has increased due to improved economic conditions in emerging economies, such as India, Indonesia, Brazil, and Mexico. APAC dominates the global passenger car market, with emerging economies like India, China, and Indonesia leading the market. The adoption of passenger cars, along with strict emission norms, is driving the significant adoption of lightweight fasteners. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively impacted the demand for passenger cars, affecting the sales and production of automotive fasteners. The passenger car industry has transformed from mechanically driven vehicles to high-end electronic/electrical-influenced vehicles with advanced features in safety, security, propulsion, connectivity, and the environment. During the forecast period, there will be an increase in the electrification of passenger cars, and the adoption of EVs will rise, leading to an increase in demand for lightweight fasteners. Increased disposable income and convenient vehicle loan schemes are driving the demand for sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, crossovers, and SUVs in several countries, which will drive the growth of the global automotive fasteners market.
Geographical Analysis
APAC is estimated to contribute 59% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
