Automotive fasteners are essential components in vehicle manufacturing used to securely connect various parts, including engine components, body panels, and interior assemblies. This category encompasses bolts, nuts, screws, clips, and rivets, all of which contribute to ensuring structural integrity, safety, and durability.
The primary types of automotive fasteners include threaded and non-threaded variants. Threaded fasteners such as nuts, bolts, and screws play a crucial role in holding automotive components together. These fasteners are crafted from various materials such as iron, steel, aluminum, brass, plastic, and others. They find applications across different types of engines categorized by propulsion, including IC engine vehicles, electric vehicles, and hybrid/alternative fuel vehicles. Automotive fasteners are utilized in various components such as engines, chassis, transmission, steering, front/rear axle, interior trim, among others.

The automotive fasteners market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $28.23 billion in 2024 to $28.98 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased automobiles production, increased demand for commercial vehicles, and strong economic growth in emerging markets.
The automotive fasteners market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $32.36 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for electric vehicles and supportive government regulations. Major trends in the forecast period include launching self-clinching fasteners, developing new technological solutions, launching lightweight carbon fiber fasteners, launching new, innovative products, and undergoing partnerships and collaborations.
The growing demand for electric vehicles is anticipated to drive the expansion of the automotive fasteners market in the future. Electric vehicles are those that are either partially or fully powered by electricity. High-quality fastenings are essential for EV infrastructure equipment and battery casings to ensure secure settings. For example, in April 2024, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, reported that nearly 14 million new electric cars were registered worldwide in 2023. This marks an increase of 3.5 million units in electric car sales compared to 2022, representing a 35% year-on-year growth. Consequently, the rise in electric vehicles is expected to propel the automotive fasteners market's growth.
Companies operating in the market are actively engaged in the introduction of new and innovative products as part of their strategy to enhance their product offerings and maintain competitiveness. In July 2022, Henkel, a Germany-based chemical and consumer goods company, unveiled a new product named Loctite DRI 2250-W. This product, categorized as a medium to high-strength pre-applied thread locker, is designed for use in high-speed and sustainable automotive applications. It stands out with attributes such as high-speed throughput, high-temperature resistance, and sustainability advantages arising from its water-based composition.
Automotive fastener companies are engaging in partnerships and collaborations to enhance their market position. For example, in October 2022, Ascend Performance Materials, a US-based manufacturer of high-performance materials, joined forces with ITW Global Fasteners, a German automotive fasteners manufacturer. This partnership aimed to pilot blockchain traceability for the production of fasteners with a significantly lower carbon footprint. Additionally, in April 2024, Sterling Tools Limited, an India-based manufacturer and supplier of automotive fasteners, collaborated with Yongin Electronics, a South Korean company. The goal of this partnership is to establish a production facility for electric vehicle (EV) components in India, thereby boosting local manufacturing capabilities in the EV sector.
In June 2024, Novastone Capital, a Switzerland-based investment firm, acquired Mecavit for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to invest in the company while preserving its legacy of quality and reliability in fastener manufacturing, particularly for the automotive sector. Mecavit is an Italy-based manufacturer specializing in special fasteners, especially screws made from carbon steel and hardened steels.
