In the first three quarters of 2025, China’s fastener exports reached 4.673 million tons, up about 11% year-on-year, though the average export price dropped, reflecting a trend of rising volume but falling prices.
In September, exports totaled 516,600 tons with a value of US$985 million.
Despite US high tariffs and global supply-chain restructuring, China’s competitive low-price strategy continued to drive strong export growth, increasing the share of standard fasteners. Exports to emerging Southeast Asian markets, as well as to Belt-and-Road countries, rose significantly.
