Earlier Report Observations
Over the period from 2018 to 2025, the Portuguese market for threaded self-tapping screws experienced notable fluctuations in volume. After relative stability around 2 975 tonnes in 2019 and 2 920 tonnes in 2020, market size surged to 4 007 tonnes in 2022. This growth was primarily supported by increased import volumes, which rose from 3 568 tonnes in 2019 to 4 626 tonnes in 2022.
Imports have consistently been the main component of market supply, ranging between 2 909 and 4 673 tonnes throughout the period. Exports, on the other hand, declined from 776 tonnes in 2018 to 501 tonnes in 2024 before recovering to 954 tonnes in 2025.

In value terms, the market mirrored the volume trend but with even stronger growth, reaching 19.2 million US dollars in 2022 compared to 11.7 million in 2019. This increase in market value reflects both higher volumes and rising unit prices for imported screws during the period.
