FLANGE NUT MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Flange Nut Market size is projected to reach USD 1.1401 billion in 2025, growing further to USD 1.6467 billion by 2034 at an estimated CAGR of 4.17% from 2025 to 2034.

The United States Flange Nut market size is projected at USD 0.37497 billion in 2025, the Europe Flange Nut market size is projected at USD 0.29414 billion in 2025, and the China Flange Nut market size is projected at USD 0.33358 billion in 2025.

A nut with a large flange at one end that serves as an integrated, non-spinning washer is known as a flange nut. This helps to evenly distribute the nut's pressure over the object being fastened, decreasing the possibility of object damage and the object releasing due to an uneven attaching surface. The nuts provide one of the most distinctive shapes among the various sizes and shapes of bolts and nuts. An ordinary flange has two sides in the nut, one of which is shaped like a hexagon and the other like a circle. They get their name from the circular shape's resemblance to a flange. Although they are common, only few people are familiar with them. The distribution of load pressure caused by the shape of the nuts is the key factor in their popularity.

Sometimes, the nuts come with a swivel flange that aids in building a more stable structure without having an impact on the end product like a serrated nut. Wood and plastic are frequently joined together with swivel flange nuts. Serrations on the flange might create a locking effect. The serrations of a serrated flange aid in preserving the nut's holding force by preventing the fastener from being moved by the nut's vibration. Inside a dish-out washer with a unique shape, a flange nut is employed. The device is largely used in the aerospace industry.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Indefinite Industrial Functioning Due to Disturbed Production and Supply

The pandemic-induced lockdown that was implemented in several locations had a brief impact on the flange nut supply chain and production cycle. Due to lockdown, industrial standby, and transportation restrictions, the breakout had a slow-moving and diminishing impact on countries and their enterprises all across the world. A significant drop in market share for a flange nut was caused by fewer production activities, a more constrained supply chain, a lower percentage of workers who were available, and the temporary closures.

LATEST TRENDS

Rapid Increase in Infrastructure Development Projects to Stimulate the Market

The worldwide expansion in the number of infrastructure construction projects has given the nut producers and distributors a wealth of options. The use of a flange for your gear fastening with nut and has other numerous benefits. In addition to being rotationally resistant, the nuts are frequently flexible, reusable, and extremely durable. The flange nut market is expected to develop at the fastest rate in Asia Pacific. The market is anticipated to be led by nations like China, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia during the forecast period.

• According to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (India), over $1.4 trillion has been allocated under infrastructure pipeline projects through 2025, fueling demand for construction-grade fasteners like flange nuts, particularly in traffic and utilities infrastructure.

• As per China’s Ministry of Transport, over 38,000 kilometers of expressways were under active construction in 2023, leading to a rise in domestic flange nut consumption, with local manufacturers increasing output by 18% YoY.

FLANGE NUT MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type; the flange nut market is divided into flat, serrated and others.

Flat is the leading part of the type segment.

By Application

Based on the application; the market is divided into traffic, electric power, communication, manufacturing and others.

Traffic is the leading part of the application segment.

DRIVING FACTORS

The Wide Utilization in the Electronics to Boost the Product Demand

A flange nut can be created from a variety of metals and used with a wide range of bolt types. Because they are simpler to adjust and remove, the nuts are frequently used to bolt electrical or mechanical components. You may install your circuit boards, sensors, and mechanical mountings using these bolts. The wide, uneven-surfaced flange on one end removes the need for additional washers to keep the nut firmly fastened. Additionally, they permit the free portions to move without restriction. Both metric and imperial sizes are offered. The thread pitch and nut diameter are both indicated in millimeters for the metric sizes.

Rising Demand from Automobile and Aerospace Industries to Flourish the Market

The aerospace and automotive industries are where the nuts are most frequently used. In the process of assembling all different kinds of vehicles, these nuts are used. Their primary purposes are locking and pivoting. Additionally, the manufacture of helicopters, planes, and other vehicles utilizes the equipment. Inside a dish-out washer with a unique shape, a flange is employed. This gadget is extensively used in the aerospace sector. During the forecast period, this is anticipated to propel the flange nut market growth.

• The electronics sector accounts for over 25% of total global flange nut demand due to increasing integration in printed circuit boards, battery enclosures, and mechanical assembly, as per World Electronics Council 2023 report.

• Automobile and aerospace industries combined consume over 40% of serrated flange nuts, especially in applications requiring anti-vibration and locking mechanisms, confirmed by the European Automotive Suppliers Association (CLEPA).

RESTRAINING FACTORS

The Products Corrosive Property Can Impede the Market Growth

To create a tight fit, the flange nut locking fastener type uses displacement or distortion. That deformation can raise the threat of corrosion when utilised with a painted or coated mating surface. However, the corrosive property can hamper and restrain the flange nut market share.

• According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), corrosion caused by flange nut serrations on coated/painted surfaces affects nearly 15–20% of high-precision end-use environments, especially in marine and exterior assemblies.

• The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) warns that 6 out of 10 surveyed manufacturers faced restrictions using traditional metal flange nuts in REACH-regulated sectors due to environmental compliance failures.
