The aerospace fasteners market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.4 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing production of next-generation aircraft requiring advanced fastener materials, rising adoption of composite airframes driving demand for compatible fastening solutions, growth in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) manufacturing, advancements in corrosion-resistant and high-strength fastener technologies, increasing focus on weight reduction to improve fuel efficiency driving innovation in aerospace fasteners. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of lightweight titanium fasteners, increased demand for high-strength, corrosion-resistant aerospace fasteners, growing use of precision-engineered fasteners for next-gen aircraft, expansion of fastener applications in composite aircraft structures, oem-driven shift toward customized fastener design.

The rising demand for commercial aircraft is expected to drive the aerospace fasteners market in the coming years. A commercial aircraft is an aircraft designed and used to transport passengers or cargo for profit or business operations. Commercial aircraft rely on aerospace fasteners because of their strength, reliability, and ability to withstand high levels of stress and vibration, which are essential for maintaining structural integrity during flight. For example, in January 2025, Airbus SE, a France-based provider of aeronautics, defense, and space-related services, reported that commercial aircraft were sold to 86 clients in 2024, resulting in 766 deliveries, up from 735 in 2023. The backlog reached 8,658 aircraft, with 878 gross commercial orders (826 net) recorded in 2024. Therefore, the increasing demand for commercial aircraft is fueling the growth of the aerospace fasteners market.
