Automotive Fasteners Market Growth & Trends

The global automotive fasteners market size is anticipated to reach USD 35.73 billion by 2033 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The primary driver is the steady increase in global vehicle production, particularly in emerging markets, where rising income levels and urbanization are fueling demand for passenger and commercial vehicles. As manufacturers scale up production, reliable, high-performance fastening solutions become critical to ensure structural integrity, safety, and durability across various vehicle platforms.

Another significant contributor to market expansion is the industry's shift toward light weighting and material innovation. Automakers are increasingly adopting lightweight materials such as aluminum and composites in response to stringent fuel efficiency and emission regulations. This transition necessitates specialized fasteners to maintain strength while reducing overall vehicle weight. Electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), in particular, are accelerating this trend, as their design requirements call for advanced fastening systems that support battery integration and modular architecture.

The rise of electric mobility and autonomous driving technologies is also reshaping fastener demand. EV platforms often require fewer but more complex fasteners, while autonomous vehicles introduce new sensor mounting, connectivity, and vibration resistance requirements. This has led to growing interest in customized smart fasteners offering real-time monitoring capabilities and predictive maintenance features. The aging global vehicle fleet also supports a robust aftermarket segment, where replacement fasteners are essential for maintenance and repair, further sustaining market momentum.

The market players are focusing on various strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions, and collaborations. For instance, in March 2025, Fontana Gruppo acquired a 60% stake in Right Tight Fasteners (RTF) for around USD 120.5 million (INR 1,000 crore), merging it with BG Fastening to form a unified Indian entity. The deal enhances Fontana’s presence in Asia and supports RTF’s global expansion and capacity growth plans.
