The aerospace fasteners market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.15 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the rise in air passenger traffic, the development of next-generation aircraft, emerging markets for air travel, space exploration programs, and initiatives promoting sustainable aviation. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass digitalization in manufacturing processes, research and development in lightweight materials, the integration of smart fastening technologies, the utilization of titanium fasteners, and the increased use of composite materials.

The global air travel industry has experienced rapid growth, propelled by improvements in people's standard of living and increased disposable income. As reported by the International Civil Aviation Organization, there is an anticipation that both passenger traffic and freight volume will double by 2035. This surge in demand for air travel has significantly contributed to the expansion of aircraft manufacturing, consequently driving the growth of the aerospace fasteners market. The increasing need for aircraft components and the overall expansion of the aviation sector have led to a higher demand for aerospace fasteners, reflecting the interconnected nature of the aerospace industry with global economic trends and consumer lifestyles.

The anticipated increase in demand for commercial aircraft is expected to be a key driver for the growth of the aerospace fasteners market in the future. Commercial aircraft, designed and utilized for the transportation of passengers or cargo for profit or business purposes, rely on aerospace fasteners due to their strength, reliability, and capacity to withstand high stress and vibrations - critical attributes for maintaining structural integrity during flight. For instance, Airbus SE, a France-based provider of aeronautics, defense, and space-related services, reported in January 2023 that commercial aircraft sales to 202,184 clients in 2022 witnessed an 8% increase from the previous year, with 661 deliveries. The backlog includes 7,239 aircraft, with 1,078 gross commercial orders (820 net). This robust demand for commercial aircraft reflects positively on the aerospace fasteners market, underscoring their pivotal role in the aviation industry's growth.

The growing adoption of super alloys represents a prominent and increasingly popular trend in the aerospace fastener market. Super alloys are characterized by their high mechanical strength, resistance to thermal creep deformation, excellent surface stability, and durability against corrosion or oxidation. An illustrative example is SPS Technologies, which has embraced the use of super alloys and introduced MP35N as the first fastener superalloy. MP35N offers a distinctive combination of high strength and exceptional corrosion resistance, coupled with a temperature capability of 750 °F. This trend highlights the industry's inclination towards advanced materials, emphasizing the significance of super alloys in enhancing the performance and durability of aerospace fasteners.

Major companies within the aerospace fastener industry are increasingly adopting a strategic partnerships approach to enhance supply chain efficiency and provide comprehensive solutions for complex aerospace assembly needs. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success. A noteworthy example is the partnership between Goebel Fasteners Inc., a US-based fastener manufacturer, and Aero-Space Fasteners and Electronics, a US-based distributor of aircraft fastening hardware for commercial and military aerospace applications. Established in February 2022, this collaboration is aimed at distributing Goebel Fasteners' blind fastening product lines, over-center latches, the new G-Grip Stainless Lockbolt System, and other product lines throughout the United States. This strategic partnership reflects a broader industry trend where companies seek collaboration to optimize their capabilities, streamline the supply chain, and provide comprehensive solutions to meet the evolving demands of the aerospace sector.

In June 2022, the Bollhoff Group, a France-based specialist in providing special fasteners, successfully acquired Gillis Aerospace for an undisclosed amount.
