The bolts market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $49.37 billion in 2025 to $51.79 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in construction and infrastructure projects, rising automotive production volumes, expansion of industrial machinery manufacturing, increasing use of steel structures, demand for reliable fastening solutions.

The bolts market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $63.81 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of electric and autonomous vehicles, increasing investments in infrastructure modernization, demand for lightweight and durable fastening systems, expansion of aerospace manufacturing, rising adoption of automated assembly lines. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for high-strength fasteners, growing adoption of corrosion-resistant bolts, increasing use of precision-engineered bolts, expansion of lightweight and high-grade materials, rising focus on standardization and quality compliance.

The rising number of construction activities is expected to drive the growth of the bolts market. Construction activities involve a wide range of operations and processes needed to build buildings, structures, and infrastructure. Construction bolts, such as structural bolts and anchor bolts, are essential for a variety of applications, including securing beams to columns or walls, attaching joists to ledgers, fastening deck boards, and forming secure foundations for bridges or buildings. For example, in November 2025, the United States Census Bureau reported that in 2025, private construction spending was at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1.65 trillion, marking a 0.3% increase from the revised July estimate of $1.64 trillion. Therefore, the growth in construction activities is expected to fuel the demand for bolts in the market.

Major companies operating in the bolts market are focusing on developing technological advancements such as plug-in installation tools to improve assembly efficiency, enhance accessibility in confined spaces, and reduce labor effort during use. A plug-in tool allows fast and accurate fastening, particularly in hollow-section structures with one-sided access, ensuring strong connections without the need for welding or additional components. For instance, in April 2023, Lindapter International, a UK-based construction company, launched the Hollo-Bolt plug-in tool. The Hollo-Bolt plug-in tool is designed to simplify the installation of Hollo-Bolt fasteners, especially in structural applications involving hollow sections with one-sided access. It enables users to tighten Hollo-Bolts quickly and efficiently, ensuring a secure connection without requiring welding or extra components. This tool improves installation speed and ease of use, making it suitable for large-scale construction projects and high-pressure environments.

In January 2023, GMS Inc., a construction goods supplier based in the United States, successfully acquired Tanner Bolt and Nut Inc. The specific financial details of the acquisition were undisclosed.
