The Aerospace Fasteners Market is a vital subset of the global aerospace components industry, driven by continuing demand for aircraft production, fleet expansion, and modernisation of aging airframes. According to the latest WiseGuyReports research, the Aerospace Fasteners Market is projected to have grown from 4,780 USD million in 2025 to 7 USD billion. The aerospace fasteners market is anticipated to develop at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 3.9% from 2025 to 2035.2035.

Fasteners are among the most crucial yet often underappreciated components used in aerospace manufacturing and maintenance. These include bolts, screws, rivets, nuts, washers, and specialty locking devices — components that hold together airframes, engines, landing gear, and interior assemblies. Because of their role in structural integrity and safety, aerospace fasteners must adhere to stringent regulatory certifications such as AS9100, ISO 9001, NADCAP, and FAA standards.

One of the primary market growth drivers is the global increase in aircraft production, especially in commercial aviation. Rising passenger traffic and expanding airline fleets require corresponding growth in the supply of structural components, including fasteners. Commercial aircraft — such as narrow-body and wide-body jets — account for a significant portion of total aerospace fastener demand because of their high production volumes and extensive use of fasteners for assembly and maintenance processes.

The Aerospace Fasteners Market Trends reflect an industry tilt toward lightweight and high-strength materials. Aerospace manufacturers are increasingly adopting fasteners made from titanium and advanced composites that provide strength, corrosion resistance, and weight reduction — all essential for improving fuel efficiency and overall aircraft performance. This shift in materials is driving demand not only for traditional bolting and riveting solutions but also for next-generation joining technologies that meet performance and sustainability requirements.

The industry analysis further highlights that North America holds a dominant position in the global market, with a valuation of around USD 2,000 million in 2024, attributed to the region’s robust aerospace manufacturing ecosystem and heavy investments in defence and civil aviation sectors. Europe follows closely, supported by strong aerospace R&D and manufacturing capabilities, while the Asia-Pacific region is projected to expand steadily due to increasing air travel demand, production facilities in China and India, and supportive government initiatives that encourage local supply chain development.

Segment insights show that commercial aviation applications constitute the largest segment of the aerospace fasteners market, with a valuation of approximately USD 2,120 million in 2024, expected to rise to USD 3,130 million by 2035. This is largely due to rising aircraft orders, global tourism growth, and fleet modernisation programs. Military aviation applications are also expanding steadily, driven by enhanced defence budgets and acquisition of new fighter jets, transport aircraft, and unmanned platforms. Helicopter and space applications add depth to the market, reflecting broader aerospace manufacturing activities worldwide.

Technological advancements are playing an increasingly important role. The integration of 3D printing and automated manufacturing processes helps aerospace fastener producers improve lead times, reduce waste, and deliver customised solutions that meet specific stress and performance criteria. These technologies also support just-in-time inventory models, reducing supply chain inefficiencies for aircraft manufacturers and MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) service providers.

Key players in the aerospace fasteners market include established manufacturers and diversified aerospace OEMs such as Textron, Stanley Black & Decker, LISI Aerospace, Boeing, General Electric, Honeywell, and Parker Hannifin. These companies continue to invest in R&D, expand regional footprints, and pursue strategic partnerships or acquisitions to strengthen their portfolio of fastening solutions and address growing demand.

Looking ahead, the Aerospace Fasteners Market Forecast suggests sustained momentum driven by ongoing aircraft production, lightweight material adoption, and expanding aerospace applications across commercial and defence sectors. Demand for reliable, high-performance fastening solutions will remain central to global aerospace manufacturing and support operations, ensuring continued expansion throughout the next decade.
