The MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) sector is a key end-user for aircraft fasteners. Each aircraft inspection and maintenance cycle demands fastener replacement to maintain structural integrity and compliance.
According to Stratview Research, the aircraft fasteners market size was USD 8.1 billion in 2024 and is likely to grow at a decent CAGR of 2.8% during 2025-2032 to reach USD 10.2 billion in 2032.
