Transition from Corded to Cordless Positively Shaping Assembly Fastening Tools Market
As convenience and safety takes center stage, cordless power tools have been gaining popularity and user acceptance in recent years, in the manufacturing industry. They have improved the versatility of assembly fastening tools as well, by focusing on safety and flexibility, over their corded cousins, making them function without controllers, and thereby, improving operational efficiency. Increasing investments toward the R&D of cordless tools by players in the market, to cater to the ever-evolving needs of the manufacturing industry, have led to a significant positive impact on the global assembly fastening tools market. In 2018, although corded tools accounted for over-two third of the market revenue share, this number is expected to come down as the popularity of cordless tools rises. Cordless tools are expected to account for one-third of the global market share by revenue by the end of the forecast period.
The preference for cordless tools over corded ones, owing to the many advantages that they offer, has opened up several opportunities for manufacturers in the global assembly fastening tools market, as they continue to improve tool design, safety, and efficiency. They are being increasingly adopted across several industries, including automotive, aerospace, semiconductors, and heavy equipment.

Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 Leading to Smarter Tools
Smart tools that are all connected to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which were once thought of as being very far into the future, have quickly become a reality. These smart tools are now being used to measure and store data, improving the efficiency of operations and reducing the rate of failures. They offer data from several data points, and the information provided can be used to significantly improve quality and precision, in a customized manner. These factors have contributed significantly to the growing popularity and widespread adoption of smart tools for the creation of a lean production environment – a tenet of Industry 4.0.
Industry 4.0 has fed the continual rise in the pace of manufacturing in recent years. Assembly fastening tools have also advanced and are increasingly becoming versatile, with even simpler tools offering exceptional precision, accuracy, and traceability. Manufacturing, as a whole, is now placing a premium on improved output, and assembly fastening tools and solutions are no exception.
Product innovation in the assembly fastening tools market is now beginning to include those that offer two-way communication as a standard, to ensure faster data sharing, error detection, and the like - all aimed at improving operational efficiency on the factory floor.
Alternative Joining Methods & Techniques to Hamper Market Growth
Several end-use industries of the assembly fastening tools market, who primarily rely on fastening as a joining technique, are considering alternatives that are lighter and cost-effective, which also offer design flexibility. These alternatives include structure adhesives such as acrylics, urethanes, and epoxies, which find application in fewer materials than fastening. The growing popularity of these alternatives to fastening is expected to hamper the growth of the global assembly fastening tools market.
However, because these structure adhesives may not find application in metal joining, their impact is negated by the versatility of fastening, thereby contributing to the growth of the assembly fastening tools market.

Assembly Fastening Tools Market: Analysts’ Overview
The global assembly fastening tools market is set to grow at a decent pace over the forecast period of 2019-2027, as cordless tools and electric assembly fastening tools are gaining popularity across end-use industries. According to analysts at Transparency Market Research, manufacturers looking at incorporating energy-dense batteries into their products for better product efficacy, and directing their research toward 'smart tool' innovation, are likely to maximize their benefits during the foreseeable future.
The regional markets of APAC and Europe, in the global assembly fastening tools landscape, are expected to grow substantially during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the presence of an established manufacturing industry in these regions, which is set to drive the growth of their market. These regions offer profitable prospects for players looking to strengthen their presence in the overall market space.
Assembly Fastening Tools Market: Overview
- According to Transparency Market Research’s latest research report on the global assembly fastening tools market for the historical period of 2017 - 2018 and the forecast period of 2019 - 2027, increasing adoption of assembly fastening tools in smart manufacturing (or Industry 4.0) and high preference for electric fastening tools in smart manufacturing are major factors expected to fuel the global assembly fastening tools market during the forecast period.
- The global assembly fastening tools market is projected to be valued at ~US$ 3 Bn in the year 2019.
- In terms of revenue, the global assembly fastening tools market is estimated to reach a value of ~US$ 4 Bn by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 4.5% throughout the forecast period.
High Preference for Electric Fastening Tools in Automotive Industry: A Key Driver
- The automotive industry has always been a leading end user of electric fastening tools, such as screw drivers and nutrunners, due to high automobile production and the large number of fasteners used in automobile assembly lines.
- Furthermore, with increasing demand for flexibility, error proofing, and quality control in automobile assembly lines, the preference for electric fastening tools has increased, thus boosting the growth of the global assembly fastening tools market.
- Thus, the automotive end user segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of ~5% during the forecast period, in the global assembly fastening tools market, and hold ~31% share of the global assembly fastening tools market by 2027.
Availability of Substitutes Such as Adhesives and Welding a Major Challenge
- Currently, several industries such as automotive, aerospace, and shipbuilding prefer structural adhesives such as acrylics, urethanes, and epoxies. Since these adhesives offer cost savings, lower weight, structural integrity, and design flexibility, their availability is expected to hamper the global assembly fastening tools market during the forecast period.
- However, adhesives are not designed or preferred specifically for metals or stainless steel yet. Hence, mechanical fasteners are still largely preferred for use in joining parts made of materials such as steel, aluminum, or other metals.
- Furthermore, adhesives add to the number of chemicals used within a plant, which further gives rise to environment-related issues. However, the impact of this restraint is expected to be low on the global assembly fastening tools market during the forecast period.
