RIVETING MACHINE MARKET OVERVIEW

The riveting machine market market, valued at USD 0.89 billion in 2025, is forecasted to grow consistently, reaching USD 0.94 billion in 2026 and ultimately hitting USD 1.42 billion by 2035, at a steady CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2035.

A riveting machine is a machine used to join two or more pieces of material together by placing a rivet, which is a type of fastener, into pre-drilled holes in the materials and then deforming the end of the rivet to securely fasten the pieces together. They are typically used in manufacturing and construction industries to join metal plates, sheets, or other components. They can be either manual or automated and can come in a variety of sizes and configurations to meet the needs of different applications. The use of such a machine helps to ensure consistent and accurate placement of rivets, which results in a strong and secure bond between the materials.

They come in a variety of types, including hand-operated, pneumatic, and hydraulic. Hand-operated machines are typically used for small-scale projects, while pneumatic and hydraulic machines are used for large-scale projects in industrial settings. These machines can be equipped with different types of rivet heads, including bucking bars and air-powered guns, to suit different applications.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Decreased the Market Demand

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to various industries, including the riveting machine market. The pandemic led to a global economic slowdown, causing a decrease in consumer spending and investment in construction and industrial projects. This decline in demand for construction and industrial products resulted in a decrease in the demand for such equipment, as they are commonly used in these applications. Additionally, the pandemic resulted in the shutdown of many manufacturing facilities, leading to supply chain disruptions and further reducing the availability of such machines. The limitations on the movement of goods and materials also impacted their distribution, making it more difficult for customers to purchase these machines. Overall, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the riveting machine market growth, as the decline in demand for construction and industrial products and the disruptions to the supply chain have led to a decrease in sales of these machines.

LATEST TRENDS

The addition of multi-functionality into the machines are expected to fuel the growth in the market

The trend towards multi-functional riveting machines is becoming increasingly popular in the riveting machine market. These machines are designed to perform multiple tasks, such as drilling, tapping, and riveting, all in one compact unit. This allows manufacturers to reduce the number of separate machines required on a job site and increase overall efficiency, as operators only need to operate one machine instead of several separate units. Multi-functional riveting machines are especially useful in small-scale projects, where space is limited and the use of multiple machines is not practical. These machines are also ideal for use in confined spaces, where their compact design makes them suitable for use in tight spaces. Another advantage of multi-functional riveting machines is that they reduce the number of operators required on a job site, as one operator can operate multiple machines at the same time. This helps to reduce labour costs and improve efficiency, as operators can complete multiple tasks more quickly and with fewer errors.

• According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), over 70% of automotive component manufacturers adopted advanced riveting systems in 2022, driven by demand for lightweight and durable assemblies.

• According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the aerospace sector exported parts worth USD 138 billion in 2021, where riveting machines are a critical tool for structural assembly.

• According to the Indian Ministry of Heavy Industries, India’s auto sector employs over 19 million people, and growing automation with riveting technology is essential for production efficiency.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Difficulty in maintenance and repair to hamper the market growth

Riveting machines are complex machines that require specialized knowledge and skills to maintain and repair. These machines can be difficult to access for maintenance, and many of the parts are hard to replace, which can result in long downtime periods for maintenance. The complexity of these machines, combined with the shortage of skilled labour in the market, can make it difficult for customers to find the necessary expertise to keep their machines running smoothly. This difficulty in maintenance and repair can result in increased costs, longer downtime periods, and lower production efficiency. In addition, many of the components used in riveting machines are subjected to high levels of stress and wear and tear, which can result in frequent breakdowns and repairs. This high level of maintenance and repair can be a significant barrier to entry for customers who are looking to purchase such machines, as they may opt for more reliable and easier to maintain machines.

• According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), over 2,000 workplace injuries in 2021 were linked to improper use of mechanical assembly equipment, including riveting machines, raising safety concerns.

• According to Germany’s Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA), around 37% of small-scale manufacturers face high upfront costs in adopting automated riveting systems, restricting faster penetration.
