In 2026, prices of steel and nickel-based alloy raw materials fluctuated, and prices of stainless steel and alloy steel wire rods experienced 阶段性 fluctuations, directly affecting the production costs of bolts, anchors and curtain wall hardware, and posing a test to the cost management of fastener enterprises.
Facing raw material volatility, leading source factories in the industry, on the one hand, lock in upstream raw material procurement channels and optimize cold heading, heat treatment and surface treatment production processes to reduce losses; on the other hand, they reduce homogenized standard part involution and focus on non-standard customization business. The order proportion of high-value-added products such as curtain wall embedded plates, angle codes, welded parts, special-shaped cold-headed parts and special working condition 专用 anchors continues to increase.
Customer demand on the engineering side is also changing. Procurement no longer only purchases single bolts and anchors, but tends to find suppliers that can provide complete fastening solutions, including one-stop services such as selection advice, material reports, inspection certificates, batch supply and non-standard processing.
The industry suggests that purchasers should make good stocking plans in the early stage of projects and prioritize source manufacturing enterprises with stable supply and complete documentation to reduce schedule and cost risks brought by raw material fluctuations.
