The global micro screws market size was USD 964.8 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 1432.5 million in 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period.

A micro screw is a small, high-quality metal fastener with a diameter that ranges from 0.5 to 2.5 millimeters (M 0.5 to M 2.5). It is used extensively in a variety of fields, including automotive, consumer electronics, electrical, mechanical, medical, industrial, and more. Due to unique thread geometries that are tailored to the specific material, micro screws are appropriate for a variety of materials. They are specifically made to be fastened into steel, light metal, and plastic. They are also a good alternative to soldering, gluing, clipping, or welding because of their metric compatibility for later repairs.

Micro screws are highly sought after as manufacturers of micro screws market work to create smaller, lighter, and thinner consumer electronics. Micro screws are mostly used for tiny electronics. Micro screws work effectively in applications for fastener installation and positionings, such as those found in mobile phones and tablet computers. This product is employed both in the residential and industrial sectors with the goal of binding diverse objects together. With the large selection of micro fasteners, Micro screws are available in various designs and materials. Machine screws, captive screws, shoulder bolts, set screws, high-strength screws, metal forming screws, and more are among the consumer electronics products in our product line.

COVID-19 Impact: Halt on Manufacturing Operations Led to Slower Market Growth

The Covid-19 pandemic affected practically every industry worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines and regulatory regulations have temporarily halted the operation of the manufacturing facilities. Additionally, the protracted shutdown disrupted the supply chain and raised the price of raw materials across several nations. The demand for products in 2020 was impacted by the suspension of industrial operations to stop COVID-19 from spreading over the world. Additionally, the impact on industrial machinery service and maintenance operations hampered the market for the product in 2020. Such elements impacted the world’s micro screws market growth.                                                                                                            

LATEST TRENDS

"Technological Advancements in Electronics to Boost Market Growth"

Smaller and more compact semiconductor-based, electrical, and optical devices are becoming more common due to technological advancements. Using smaller individual components with the gadgets is also encouraged by this trend. Because there are now so few "low profile screws" and "miniature screws" with a head height of 2 mm or less on the market, which is utilized in these components, the development of lower-profile and more compact semiconductor-based, electrical, and optical devices frequently encounters barriers. The aforementioned factors have a positive impact on the micro screws market growth.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Cost-Saving Potential to Facilitate Market Development"

Since extra production procedures, like thread cutting, which is particularly challenging for smaller screw dimensions, can be entirely skipped, the thread-forming design of the micro screw also enables the full exploitation of significant cost-saving potentials. When employing our micro screws, the severe tool wear and tear that occurs during thread cutting for metric screw joints is likewise a thing of the past. Because of this, utilizing micro screws is certain to be highly cost-effective. As a result of the seamless interaction of the component, screw, and fastening systems becoming even more crucial with a high degree of miniaturization, significant cost savings can be achieved during the development phase. Starting with the initial stages of development, extra attention must be paid to feeding and final assembly. The ideal fastening system can be developed in collaboration with the client which drives micro screws market expansions.

"Long Lasting Capacity to Promote Industry Progress"

Micro fasteners and micro screws are crucial for the consumer electronics industry, regardless of the individual device being made. High-quality manufacturing inputs, even down to the last screw, are necessary to produce high-quality consumer electronics. Fastener selections at micro screws reflect the wide range of small screws used in consumer electronics, which all have particular requirements. Customers demand long-lasting micro fasteners and screws when constructing consumer devices. The task is completed with the use of premium materials and a variety of material options. the usual materials, such as titanium, alloy steel, stainless steel, and hardened carbon steel. It is anticipated that, throughout the forecast period, the aforementioned factors would witness micro screw market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Drawbacks in Medical Industry to Hinder Market Growth"

In more aesthetic and comfortable techniques without brackets, as well as in vestibular and lingual techniques with brackets, the use of micro-screws in orthodontic anchorage is increasing. As improper manipulation of the bone can readily result in an inflammatory reaction surrounding the screws and inappropriate location can easily result in their loosening, micro-screw insertion should be regarded as a surgical procedure. These drawbacks in the medical industry threaten to hinder the micro screws market share.
