According to the statistics, the global demand of fasteners was 36.35 billion US dollars
in 2001, while the number increased by 5% to 46.35 billion US dollars in 2006.  It is
estimated that global market for industrial fasteners will exceed 50.3 billion US dollars
by 2010.  Industries such as construction & maintenance, automobile, electronics and
electric appliance, industrial machinery, metal products and so on are in great demand of
fasteners.  Many developed countries such as U.S., Japan, Germany, France, UK, Italy,Korea
, etc. see increasing demand for China fasteners year by year.  In 2007, China produced
the most fasteners in the world in terms of volume, reaching 5.2 million tons,and the
export value stood at 3.25 billion US dollars, accounting for nearly half of the total
output.  The import value of fasteners also grew by 25.9% to 1.851 billion US dollars.
