Demand for industrial fasteners in China will rise 10.7 percent annually through 2013, driven mainly by rapid growth in the production of industrial machinery and motor vehicles. Externally threaded fasteners will remain dominant and lead gains among standard types, while aerospace-grade fasteners grow the fastest overall from a small base.

This study analyzes the 44.7 billion yuan industrial fastener industry in China. It presents historical demand data for the years 1998, 2003 and 2008, and forecasts for 2013 and 2018 by product (e.g., externally threaded, internally threaded, nonthreaded, aerospace-grade) and market (e.g., OEM, construction, MRO).

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 34 industry participants, including Gem-Year Industrial, Changshu Standard Parts and Dongfeng Motor.
