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 aircraft is largely
dependent on the proper selection and correct installation of these very small
hardware parts. The aerospace
sector uses variety of fasteners such as hi-locks, bolts, nuts, washers,
rivets, collars, screws, spacers and pins. All these fasteners are required to
be certified by stringent standards governing usage in each end-use sector and
hence the entry barriers for new entrants in this industry are quite high.
The global
aerospace industry is concentrated in a few countries. With most of the civil
aviation and general aviation production concentrated in North America, and
Europe, the market for Aerospace Fasteners also depicts a similar trend. Boeing
and Airbus dominate the global commercial aviation market, virtually accounting
for the market for large airliners. However, Comac of China has embarked on a
program to launch the single-aisle short-haul C919 aircraft by 2020. If
successful, the new aircraft would render increased competition in the
single-aisle aircraft market. Apart from OEM demand, MROs also require supply
of aerospace fasteners. However, demand from MROs is small compared to the OEM
market, as aerospace fasteners are regular replacement parts such as engine
components and other parts, which witness regular wear and tear requiring
periodic replacement.
As stated by the
new market research report on Aerospace Fasteners the United States represents the largest
market worldwide, supported by the presence of a large number of aerospace
companies in the country. Asia-Pacific is forecast
to emerge as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 11.7% over the
analysis period, led by the continuous development of the domestic commercial
aerospace industry in China and India.
