Automotive fasteners assume high significance owing to the increasingly complex nature of vehicular designs, which is expected to necessitate stronger, improved and durable fasteners. Technological improvements have played a critical role in transforming fasteners into multi-purpose, highly engineered automotive components.

New cars demand economical and user-friendly fastening options that can replace mechanical fasteners and are also effective in holding together rubber, aluminum and plastic parts. In such a scenario, chemical fastening methods (including adhesives) and “snap-fit” or self-securing fastening solutions are emerging as popular choices. The inappropriate selection of fasteners can lead to a high rate of vehicle recalls and increased  warranty costs.

These and other market data and trends are presented in Automotive Fasteners: Global Trends, a new report from companiesandmarkets.com.
