Growth of the construction sector and technological advancements are driving the market growth
Market CAGR for Bolts is driven by the growth of the construction sector and technological advancements. The incredible demand for the bolts market is boosted by the construction of new infrastructure bases, which include buildings, bridges, roads, and so on, since bolts are an essential component of construction. Construction starts in the U.S. came up to $912 billion last year, having increased 16.7 % as compared to 2021. A megaproject record value (projects valued over $1 Billion) was reached in 2022, with 31 megaprojects put into effect for a total value of $105.3 billion. Non-residential building starts increased by 36.7% directly from new factory buildings entering the market. Construction starts of new buildings jumped up to $912 billion from the previous year at a 16.7% rate of growth. As per Statistics Canada (February 2023), the construction investment in the building industry saw a month-on increment of 1%, which was equal to $20.6 billion. On the other hand, capital investment in non-residential construction, which is equivalent to $208,780.5 million, increased by 3.8% from the year before.
Technology progresses further and new materials, as well as production methods, are becoming available that can increase the strength, durability, and performance of bolts. This will make it possible to design or create new bolts that are more effective and energy-saving. Such bolts or products can be beneficial to both consumers and manufacturers. For example, 3D printing applications successfully produce bolts with complicated shapes, which is considered impossible with traditional prototyping methods. This gives the bolts a competitive advantage regarding strength, weight, and efficiency, which latter happen to be better than their traditional counterparts. Furthermore, bolts are plated with different materials; zinc is among those used to increase their durability against corrosion, rust, and other detrimental effects. Connected smart bolts with in-built sensors are on the market these days, and they are used to figure out alterations in temperature, pressure, and other metrics. As a result, it is anticipated that throughout the projection period, demand for the Bolts Market will increase due to the growth of the construction sector and Technological advancements. Thus, driving the Bolts Market revenue.
Bolts Market Segment Insights
Bolts Market Product Insights
The Bolts Market segmentation, based on Product, includes M6, M8, M10, M12, M14, and Others. The M6 segment dominated the market, accounting for 58% of market revenue. M6 is one of the most common fasteners used in applications where small bolts are required, but they have to provide sufficient strength and durability. Innovations in technology and engineering have led plenty of industries to find even the most inventive uses of M6 bolts, which has consequently led to a rise in demand.
Bolts Market Application Insights
The Bolts Market segmentation, based on Application, includes Construction, Petrochemical, Heavy Machine Equipment, Automotive, Aerospace, and Others. The Construction segment dominated the market, accounting for 58% of market revenue. Bolts are needed to interconnect various elements of the structure, for example, beams, columns, and trusses. The reason for this is that bolts represent a connection that holds a strong and sure strength. This attribute introduced equilibrium and safety. It can be used to anchor heavy gear to concrete or other aids. The requirement arises to see that the machine remains stable and does not move in the applications that may get risky. It has also proved to be useful for the repair of the existing infrastructure. For instance, a bolt can be employed to bind a steel plate to the affected portion of a crack, thus, practically repairing the beam.
Bolts Market Grade Insights
The Bolts Market segmentation, based on Grade, includes GR 5.8, GR 8.8, GR 10.9, GR 12.9, and Others. The GR 8.8 segment dominated the market, accounting for 60% of market revenue. GR 8.8 is likely to expand significantly as a result of an extensive range of upstream projects such as high pressure pumps, masts, substructures, cranes, and engines. Therefore, the increasing consumption of the product during mid-stream development, including flange and valve bolting in pipelines and construction of storage facilities, is likely to furnish the rise of the GR 8.8 bolts segment.
