**Abstract**
China has become the world's second-largest economy and a major fastener manufacturing country, but it is not yet a strong fastener manufacturing nation. To transform into a true leader in this field, China must focus on strengthening its core capabilities. Advanced fasteners are essential for high-end machinery manufacturing and play a crucial role in the performance and reliability of critical systems. Their value may seem small on the surface—only a few percent of the total machinery industry—but their impact on key components and equipment is far greater.
Currently, China’s fastener industry faces three major challenges: technological limitations, intellectual property gaps, and cost competitiveness. Compared to advanced foreign standards, there is a significant gap that hinders the development of high-end manufacturing. Under the global shift in mechanical production, the cycle of “imitation - backwardness - re-imitation - further backwardness†has trapped Chinese fasteners in a difficult position. While many companies can replicate shapes and dimensions, they often fail to match the long life and high reliability of branded products.
In the broader context of developing a strong machinery manufacturing sector, fasteners occupy a pivotal position. They are both a bottleneck and a driver of progress. The machinery industry relies heavily on these basic components, yet due to historical underinvestment, China still lags behind in foundational technologies. Despite recent government support in technology transfer and R&D, the market demand and quality levels remain far below international standards.
Fasteners are the backbone of the machinery industry, and as the sector evolves, so do the demands placed on them. In China’s fastener market, many small and medium-sized enterprises produce standard parts with low added value, making them vulnerable to fluctuating raw material and labor costs. High-strength fasteners (grades 8.8–12.9) dominate the market, while high-end specialized fasteners—such as those used in extreme temperatures or with special properties—are in short supply and often imported. This highlights the need for innovation and quality improvement.
**1. Analysis of Procurement Demand for Mechanical Fasteners**
1.1 Product Demand Scale
The machinery industry is China’s largest industrial sector. With construction machinery sales surpassing the U.S., Japan, and Germany, China has become a global leader in this field. The self-sufficiency rate in construction machinery has risen from around 60% in 2002 to over 80% today. This growth provides ample opportunities for the fastener industry, which is essential for building reliable and efficient machinery.
1.2 Major Purchasing Companies
Fasteners are primarily used by manufacturers in construction, agricultural, general, and special machinery sectors. Key procurement companies include Sany Heavy Industry, XCMG, Dalian Machine Tools, Sinomach, Shanghai Electric, Harbin, and Zoomlion.
1.3 Latest Purchasing Trends
As domestic fastener quality improves, more substitutes for imported products are emerging. Due to lower pricing, many machinery manufacturers now prefer Chinese fasteners. Trade exhibitions have also helped attract buyers and generate purchase intentions.
**2. Analysis of the Supply of Mechanical Fasteners**
Despite growing demand, China’s fastener industry still faces challenges in product variety, quality, and reliability. Many companies produce low-grade fasteners, while high-performance, specialized fasteners remain scarce. Government support has increased, but it is still insufficient compared to international standards.
2.1 Main Production Enterprises
Leading producers include Jinyi Industrial, Shanghai Standard Five High Strength Fasteners, Zhejiang Dongming Stainless Steel, Chunyu Hardware, and Odak Metal Products. These companies are driving innovation and quality improvements.
2.2 Main Sales Models and Channels
Fasteners are mainly sold through distributors and retailers overseas, while domestic sales rely on branches, dealers, and OEM partnerships. Online platforms and international exhibitions are also key marketing tools.
**3. Development Trends and Prospects of Mechanical Fasteners**
3.1 Market Development Trends
Future trends include clustering of fastener enterprises, increased demand for high-performance fasteners, and faster digitization. Companies are expected to adopt ERP systems to improve resource management and supply chain efficiency. Leading firms will invest more in research and development, and government support for critical components will grow.
3.2 Market Development Prospects
According to the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan," the machinery industry will maintain steady growth, with high-end equipment seeing double the average growth rate. Demand for fasteners in sectors like CNC machines, offshore equipment, and power transmission will rise sharply. Meanwhile, some sub-sectors face oversupply due to declining downstream demand.
In agriculture and construction machinery, fastener demand is projected to reach tens of thousands of tons annually, highlighting the critical role of fasteners in China’s industrial development.
