Plastic Fasteners Market Dynamics
The demand for plastic fasteners in commercial applications, particularly in the automotive sector. However, volatility in raw material prices and fierce competition from substitutes are likely to restrain the market.
The demand for plastic fasteners in commercial applications, particularly in the automotive sector
The rising demand for lighter automobiles while keeping stability is likely to increase customer preference for automotive fasteners over welding, creating potential prospects for the market. It directly boosts the need for and popularity of plastic fasteners, which will decide the sector's growth in the coming years.
The market is expected to expand due to various factors, including increased vehicle production, a shift toward lighter vehicles, and more usage of electronics in vehicles. Manufacturers are changing from standard fasteners to customized fasteners, which will drive this market. In addition, mechanical developments and improvements in the quality and sturdiness of fasteners are expected to drive market demand.
As a result of the increasing demand from the sector, businesses have invested in catering to the demand. For instance, in July 2019, Auveco, which manufactures and supplies body hardware and specialized fasteners to the automotive aftermarket, acquired W&E Sales Company, which distributes specialist hand tools and automobile body fasteners. The acquisition would broaden the company's global footprint.
Volatility in raw material prices along with the fierce competition from substitutes
Raw material price volatility and market competitiveness are projected to impact manufacturers' profit margins. Plastic prices are volatile not just because the oil price influences them but also because other market factors influence them, such as the supply chain. Manufacturers are encouraged to broaden their geographical reach to reach consumers in niche areas and reduce reliance on third-party suppliers.
Furthermore, metal fasteners have dominated the business due to their superior strength and excellent impact resistance compared to plastic fasteners. In addition, other fastening materials, such as adhesives, tapes, and sealants, will likely impact plastic fasteners' demand over the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact on Plastic Fasteners Market
Automotive and building & construction are the two most significant industries that use plastic fasteners. The automotive industry has been struck harder than any other area of the plastics industry. Auto assembly lines, where employees work side by side, have been closed in China, U.S., and Europe. Celanese, which derives roughly 15% of its revenue from engineering polymers for automakers, took a significant impact. CEO Lori Ryerkerk told analysts that the company had seen global auto demand plummet by half.
Furthermore, construction has been slowing, reducing the demand for polyvinyl chloride. U.S. Census Bureau reported a 19% drop in homes starting in April compared to the previous year.
Plastic Fasteners Market Segmentation Analysis
Based on product, the global plastic fasteners market is segmented into rivets & push-in clips, cable clips & ties, threaded fasteners, washers & spacers, grommets & bushings, wall plugs, and others.
Threaded fasteners are unique pieces of hardware with exterior or internal linings that are commonly referred to as threads. The fasteners are widely used in assembling and removing many domestic and commercial applications such as automotive parts and components. Screws, washers, and bolts are the most common fasteners. Screws are expected to be the fastest-growing threaded fastener, with significant growth. Screws are used in automobile conjunctions, together with bolts and occasionally, washers, to fasten many pieces together.
In November 2019, LISI Automotive, based in France, launched the LISI insulating screw to fasten circuits and starter-alternator belt systems running at 12V and 48V, respectively. The screw is specifically developed to reduce energy losses in mild hybrid automobiles.
Plastic Fasteners Market Geographical Share
Based on geography, the global plastic fasteners market is segmented into North America, Europe, South America, Asia-Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.
Asia-Pacific is likely to have a substantial market share due to the region's expanding industrialization and urbanization, particularly in India and China, which is expected to drive demand and popularity in end-user sectors such as electronics and automotive. In addition, the increasing construction sector is another rationale for the growth of the market in the region.
As a result, companies have implemented various methods to broaden their global presence and enhance their market share. For example, in November 2019, Bulten AB constructed a new factory in Tianjin, China, to enhance its supply chain. Bulten's in-house heat treatment, cold forming, and surface treatment procedures for high-quality fasteners.
