EXPOSED FASTENER PANELS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global exposed fastener panels market size is predicted to reach USD 0.9 billion by 2034 from USD 0.56 billion in 2025, registering a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2034.

The most affordable type of metal siding and roofing is exposed fastener panels. Overlapping panels are connected via the exterior of the metallic panel straight to the roof's deck or structure. The fastener head is still visible after installation, which is why these panels are referred to as exposed fasteners.

Exposed fastener panels are widely used in both residential and commercial construction due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of installation. They are typically made from galvanized steel, aluminum, or coated metal, which provides durability and resistance against rust and corrosion. The panels are installed by fastening directly to the underlying structure using screws or nails, which penetrate both the panel and the substrate. This method allows for quicker installation compared to concealed fastener systems. The visible fasteners, often equipped with rubber or neoprene washers, create a watertight seal while remaining exposed to the elements. These panels come in various profiles, including ribbed, corrugated, and trapezoidal shapes, offering options for both aesthetic appeal and structural performance. Additionally, exposed fastener panels are easy to repair or replace individually without disturbing the surrounding sections, making them ideal for large roofs or walls where maintenance efficiency is important.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Interruption In Supply Chains To Deplete Market Growth

Due to country-wide lockdowns, a delay in the production of exposed fastener panels used in both residential and commercial areas, and other factors, the COVID 19 outbreak has hampered the expansion of the market.

The adoption of cutting-edge technologies improves aesthetics, which is anticipated to support the exposed fastener panels market share.

Construction Industry to Expand Market Forwarding

It is also anticipated that the building and construction industry will expand strongly, accelerating market growth. Strong economic growth and population growth throughout developing nations are promoting market expansion. Due to the fact that the exposed fasteners panels are frequently used in walls, roofs, bridges, and other structures, the construction industry has a significant impact on the demand for them.

• As per the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), buildings account for nearly 40% of total U.S. energy consumption, increasing the use of metal panels with reflective coatings that improve energy efficiency.

• According to Eurostat, EU construction production grew by 2.3% in 2022, creating higher demand for durable roofing and siding solutions like exposed fastener panels.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Expensive Nature and Deterioration to Deplete Market Advancement

Over the forecast period, it is anticipated that the expensive nature of exposed fastener panels system installation is anticipated to restrain the expansion of the exposed fastener panels market growth.

The fact that the fastener is more vulnerable to UV deterioration than the metal fastening itself is another problem with fasteners. Whether a gasket is composed of rubber, silicone, neoprene, or another material, determines how long it will take for it to degrade after being exposed to the sun. Maintenance on a metal roof with exposed fasteners is crucial due to this deterioration of the gasket.

• The World Steel Association highlighted that global steel production dropped by 4.2% in 2022, leading to volatility in raw material supply for panel manufacturing.

• According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, producer prices for steel mill products rose by 25% between 2020 and 2022, limiting cost competitiveness for exposed fastener panels.
