The global self-drilling screws market size is expected to reach USD 1,182.9 million by 2033, registering a CAGR of 4.8% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth can be attributed to a booming worldwide construction sector as a result of increased public and private investments in the creation of new infrastructures, residential spaces, and commercial spaces in India, China, and Mexico. The construction industry is a major consumer of these screws, which are gaining popularity due to their ease of installation.
The global construction industry is witnessing significant growth owing to the rising public and private investments in the development of infrastructure related to transport, residential spaces, and commercial buildings. Factors such as the growing global population, rising per capita income of people in countries such as the U.S., Mexico, India, and China, and ongoing urbanization are fueling the construction of residential and non-residential spaces worldwide. This, in turn, is expected to drive the global demand for self-drilling screws in the coming years.
According to Oxford Economics, the overall output of the global construction industry was USD 10.7 trillion in 2020. It is expected to witness a growth of approximately 42% in the coming years to reach the projected size of USD 15.2 trillion by 2030. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the construction spending in the country in February 2023 was at a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of USD 1,844.1 billion, witnessing an increase of 5.2% compared to the SAAR of USD 1,753.1 billion recorded in February 2022. This rate is expected to rise in the coming years, thereby driving the demand for self-drilling screws in the U.S. from 2023 to 2030.
In addition, the use of wood in construction applications is surging in countries across the world, owing to the prevailing trend of developing sustainable and green buildings. The utilization of wood in construction applications is cost-effective and results in low carbon emissions. Wood is easier to transport and handle than concrete and bricks owing to its lightweight. Wood processing is easy, which further results in the development of low-cost products. This reduces the overall budget of construction projects across the world.
The self-drilling screws industry is considered highly competitive on account of the presence of many large-scale manufacturers functioning at a regional or global level. The key players operating in the market include Hilti, Adolf Würth GmbH & Co. KG, EJOT, Goebel GmbH, Tycoons Worldwide Group (Thailand) Public Co., Ltd., and BDN Fasteners.
