Busy Aircraft Production Line Keeps Global Demand for Aerospace Fasteners Ticking
The global market for Aerospace Fasteners is projected to reach US$7.7 billion by 2025 , driven by healthy production of commercial aircraft supported by new orders from Asia-Pacific coupled with high order backlogs among international OEMs. Mechanical fastening devices such as bolts, nuts, screws, rivets or nails, that affix or join together two or more objects, are of high significance as they are the critical components that define the integrity and longevity of structures. The aerospace fasteners industry evolved alongside the aerospace industry which witnessed a continuous development of aircraft from commercial, shipping, military and business airplanes to highly advanced ballistic missiles and rockets. Fasteners are required to be highly durable to withstand extreme gravitational pressures when in air. Although fasteners account for just 3% of the total airplane manufacturing cost, they cannot be overlooked because of their small size, as the safety and efficiency of an a...
