Automotive Fasteners - Global Trends

NEW YORK, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Automotive Fasteners - Global Trends

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0164583/Automotive-Fasteners---Global-Trends.html

Automotive fasteners assume high significance owing to the increasingly complex nature of vehicular designs, which is expected to necessitate stronger, improved and durable fasteners. Technological improvements have played a critical role in transforming fasteners into multi-purpose highly engineered automotive components. New age cars demand economical and user-friendly fastening options that can replace mechanical fasteners and are also effective in holding together rubber, aluminum and plastic parts. In such a scenario, chemical fastening methods (including adhesives) and 'snap-fit' or self-securing fastening solutions are emerging as popular choices. Inappropriate selection of fasteners can lead to high rate of vehicle recalls, and stepping up of warranty costs.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "Automotive Fasteners: Global Trends" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
