High Demand forConstruction andIndustrial Fasteners inthe South Asian Market
印度新德里螺絲展A

study by Straits Research predicts that the Indian industrial fastener market is expected to reach
US$17.868 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.9% until 2030. India has
become one of the hot markets for global manufacturing investment in recent years. This year's show
was held against this backdrop with the expectations of market investors.
The show was held in Hall 6 of the venue, Pragati Maidan, divided into a three-day fastenershow and a four-day parts and components show. Fastener World led 6 Taiwanese exhibitors to theshow, including Ray Fu Enterprise, Chite Enterprises, Hurmg Yieh Machinery, L & W Fasteners,
Homn Reen Enterprise, and Yih Tieng Machinery, bringing Taiwan's
high-quality and well-received fastener and machinery suppliers withhigh cost performance ratio to the Indian market. Meanwhile, Fastener
World introduced many Taiwanese suppliers to Indian visitors through itspublications.

Fastener World’s exhibitor observed that a majority of the show’sexhibitors were local Indian companies, with the rest from Japan,
China and other countries. The visitors were mainly local fastener
importers, distributors and manufacturers. The products that visitors
inquired about were mainly fasteners, CNC products, fastening
tools, precision parts, and machines. It was quite good considering thenumber of visitors. In addition to interacting with visitors, many exhibitors
L&W
took the opportunity to meet long-time customers. Many buyers were very
interested in working with Taiwanese and Chinese fastener and machine
manufacturers, looking to find more high-quality product sources. The demandfor construction fasteners and various industrial parts was high there. Many Indian manufacturers
said they once purchased machines from Taiwan. They said Taiwan provides
better quality. There were also some Indian manufacturers looking to findChinese suppliers who offer cheaper prices.

On another note, BIS certification will pose a future challenge.
Initially, only Indian manufacturers were required to have thiscertification, but in the future, overseas manufacturers who want tosell products to India will also be required to pass this certification.
However, the implementation details are currently only drafts and have
not yet been officially in force. Companies interested in entering the Indian
market must pay more attention to BIS information.

The organizer will announce the next launch of the show. Fastener World
will have the latest information and will announce it right away. Log onto Fastener World website atwww.fastener-world.com to track the latest development.

China was held on May 22 to 24. It used
two exhibition halls totaling the area up to42,000 square meters. According to the exhibitor
registration statistics by the organizer, 690 fastenerand related exhibitors participated in the show, which
successfully attracted tens of thousands of visitors from home and abroad
within the 3-day event, once again proving its status as the cornerstone for
Chinese fastener industry to expand sales. Fastener World also exhibited atthe show to bring you first-hand market intelligence.
Fastener World on-site staff observed that the exhibitors could be categorized into fastener products, forming machines,
inspection and sorting machines, packaging machines, raw materials & steel, tools and dies, and heat treatment companies. Inaddition, there were overseas exhibitors such as Hyodong Machine from South Korea, Sacma from Italy, and Nedschroef, as wellas many renowned fastener products and machine manufacturers from Taiwan. Fastener World was also one the exhibitors thisyear, distributing publications on-site and introducing the companies in the publications as well as the Fastener World export
matchmaking platform to visitors from China and around the world to create export connections.
Fastener World's on-site staff reported that the overseas visitors were mainly from Central and South America, with Mexico
being the largest visitor source, and some visitors from the United States coming to meet with Chinese suppliers. In addition,
the prices of standard fasteners in China are now very low and competition is intense. The local Chinese market is saturating up,
so many local companies are turning to export. Last but not least, due to EU anti-dumping duties and the US-China trade war,
Chinese machinery exhibitors have now switched their sales targets from Europe and the U.S. to developing countries such as
Mexico, India, and South America.
As the show closed, the organizer quickly announced that the 2025 edition will be held at Shanghai World Expo Exhibition &Center from May 22 to 24 again, contributing momentum to the development and prosperity of the fastener industry.

Although Inafastener, which exhibited a wide range of industrial fasteners and fastening elements,
assembly and installation systems, as well as services related to warehousing and logistics, was oneof the thematic zones, the number and proportion of exhibitors of hardware and fasteners was relativelysmall, as the overall exhibition area was still dominated by exhibitors from automotive and motorcycle
related industries.

into the Indonesian market and deepening their business layout in the ASEAN markets. According to theobservation of Fastener World's staff on-site, this year's show was more of a regional show. Although
there were a few exhibitors from Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam and China, the majority of exhibitors werelocal. Automotive parts and accessories were the products with high enquiries this year.
