North America Automotive Fastener Market Definition

Fasteners are those hardware devices or tools that are used to join two or more objects together through the permanent or non-permanent joints. These mechanical sealing devices are widely adopted by almost every sector, but major application accounts in the automotive industry, where these small yet important devices are used to hold the automotive components together. A fastener is basically designed like a screw thread, with a screw (male, external part) and a hole (female, internal part). Some of the common fasteners used include screws, nails, bolts, clamps, anchors, pins, rings, clips, staples, rods, flats, tapping screws, set screws, studs, nuts, washers, etc.

Fasteners are available in both metal and non-metal materials, wherein metal consists of steel, brass, copper, aluminium and non-metals include polycarbonate, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and polypropylene. The automotive sector uses fasteners for various joining various internal and external parts. It is used indoor panels, engine parts, chassis, drivetrain, power windows, vehicle frame, sunroof assembly, body armor, bumpers and many other application areas. The demand for automotive fasteners is on the rise in North America mainly due to rise in the automotive production.

The automotive sector experienced a sharp decline in the pandemic, however, with economies and trades getting back to normal. The production facilities have started their operations, which is pushing the demand for automotive fasteners. The growing production of automotive vehicles in the US, Canada and Mexico, is favoring the market growth. The demand for automotive fasteners in Canada is expected to grow in the years to follow owing to the increasing production of the vehicles. According to the Government of Canada, Stellantis, Ford, GM, Honda and Toyota, top global OEMs assemble more than 1.4 million vehicles at their Canadian plants annually, which promotes the demand for fasteners.

North America Automotive Fastener Market Overview

The demand for fasteners is mainly driven by the automotive sector due to vast application areas. Automotive vehicles are held together using various fasteners such as screws, rivet nuts, stud welds, bolts, clips, and retainers, which are made with various materials, designs and sizes. The fasteners have emerged as an integral part of the vehicle products as it is used for locking and pivoting functions. It is used in the interior as well as the exterior of the automotive vehicle. These fasteners are used in windshield wiper systems, hydraulic steering, power windows, power seats, bumpers, grills, body armor, outside handles, frames, hoods, tailgates, doors, truck box sides and various other parts of automotive vehicles. Hike In the demand for automotive vehicles is pushing the production of automotive fasteners. The growing popularity of plastic fasteners in the automotive sector as they are lightweight, affordable, durable, and resistant to heat, rust, UV rays, and chemicals is further pushing the growth of the automotive fastener market.

However, the availability of alternatives such as paints and finishes for the fasteners in the automotive application is hampering the growth of the market. Various fasteners such as screws, bolts, nuts and others have been used in the automotive sector for decades for joining and holding different parts of the vehicle. However, these fasteners are increasingly replaced by adhesives, having a higher ability to bond the surfaces. These adhesives can bind to different materials such as metals, thermoplastics and other non-metal components, it acts as an insulator and reduces galvanic corrosion. The adhesives are easy to apply and cover a large surface area, which is required to fasten. The automotive manufacturers are increasingly looking for reducing the cost of the production of the vehicle and labour cost, thus, the adhesives are gaining demand, which in turn, inhibits the growth of the automotive fasteners. Nevertheless, the rise in demand for electric vehicles is creating lucrative growth opportunities for the North America Automotive Fastener Market.
