Industrial Fasteners Market Expected to Boom

Posted November 10, 2010 7:00 AM by Sharkles
Pathfinder Tags: Fasteners industrial fasteners market

In a recent press release from Global Industry Analysts, it's predicted that the demand for fasteners will grow significantly in developing nations in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East & Africa. Although together North America, Europe, and Asia make up the largest share of the market, China specifically is said to lead future demand and is predicted to become a major player in the fasteners market by 2012.

The anticipated demand includes a major focus on bolts and non-threaded fasteners. Fasteners used in electronic products are also expected to experience fast growth.

What do you think about these predictions?

The real question is; who will supply the need? Us or the Chinese.

I think they might have been "predictions" 25 - 30 years ago.

Clearly they haven't "Analyzed" who is making who's fasteners.
