Russian Fastener Market Overview

In 2018, Russia’s export to the world is about 94,407 million USD and its imported fastener value is more than 855,206 million USD. The ratio of Russia’s exported fastener value to its imported fastener value is 0.11. Therefore, it is very clear that Russia is a dependant country in the fastener field.
Mainland China is the main supplier of fasteners to Russian markets; Russian consumers bought about 46.5% of fasteners. Germany has 7.3%, Taiwan, China has 5.4% and Japan has 5.1% of the market share in Russia.

In recent years, Mainland China has increased the fastener exports to Russia. Furthermore, Russia is the second largest export destination for Mainland China. In 2018, Mainland China exported 214,780 tons of fasteners to Russia, with export value of 319,007,889 USD.
It is predicable that in a country, if the power of export is weaker than the power of import, then the exported stuff of the country goes to its neighoring countries. It happened to Russia, too. Kazakhstan, Belarus and Iran are the 1st, 2nd and 4th biggest destinations for Russia’s exported fasteners. These 3 countries have bought more than 53% of Russia’s exported fasteners. The 3rd market of Russia’s exported fasteners is Germany. All these 4 countries have accounted for 66% of Russia’s total exported fastener value.
Metal-Expo’2020, the 26th International Industrial Exhibition, is scheduled to be held from 10-13 November 2020 at VDNHa, Moscow, Russia.
