Fastener & Screw Machine Product Manufacturing in Germany industry analysis

In the last five years, the industry for the production of screws and rivets has developed only slightly positively on average. A sharp decline in sales was already observed in 2019, which was explained by the lower production volume in the industry and the resulting reduction in demand from industrial customers. In 2020, the industry suffered considerably from the weak economy resulting from the measures taken to contain the coronavirus pandemic. This also had a negative impact on sales of screws and rivets. In 2022, the outbreak of war in Ukraine led to an increase in energy and production costs for the manufacture of screws and rivets, although this was successfully passed on to customers in the form of higher product prices. On average, industry sales have therefore only grown by 0.5% per year over the last five years. In the current year, industry turnover is expected to fall by 2.5% and amount to around 5 billion euros in view of the declining demand in the construction industry and falling production volumes.Almost all manufacturing companies in Germany require screws and rivets for their end products. The highest sales are generated in the mechanical engineering and vehicle construction sectors, or in sanitary and heating installations. The more that is produced in Germany, the better these sales markets develop. Production volumes in Germany are likely to fall in the current year, which will have a negative impact on demand for sector products. The end of the construction boom and the high base rate are also likely to have a negative impact on the industry's sales. Screws and rivets are mainly made from iron and steel. Falling steel prices enable manufacturers to lower the prices of their goods and thus increase their competitiveness compared to products from abroad or cheap substitutes such as adhesives. < />Over the next five years, IBISWorld expects average annual industry growth of 1.6% and industry turnover of 5.4 billion euros in 2029. German screw manufacturers should slowly recover from the effects of the past crises and, above all, benefit from the coming improvement in the construction industry. The consolidation of the market that has already begun is likely to continue until 2029 and the number of companies operating in the industry is likely to stagnate during this period.

Trends and Insights

  • The declining demand in the construction industry poses a risk for the sector. Screws and rivets are particularly popular in the construction industry, as they are the best choice for load-bearing elements in particular due to their stability.
  • Screws and bolts with a slotted or cross recessed head are primarily relevant for end users. However, this product group is less in demand from industrial customers. They prefer screws and bolts with other heads.
  • The centre region is the most important for the industry. North Rhine-Westphalia is not only home to many steel producers that act as suppliers to screw manufacturers, but also to many customers.
  • The manufacturers of screws and rivets are exposed to moderate internal competition. The larger market players are increasingly advertising holistic fastening solutions for their customers, which they design in consultation with them.
