The market for flange bolts, with some small and medium-sized flange bolt manufacturers producing large quantities of standard components, fails to truly provide core competitiveness to the enterprises and is instead subject to changes in raw material and labor costs. From low-strength flange bolts ranging from 4.8 to 6.8 grades to high-strength flange bolts from 8.8 to 12.9 grades, China's production technology level for flange bolts is now approaching the world standard, mainly focusing on standard components and low to medium-grade special and non-standard flange bolts, characterized by large quantities and low prices.

Low-end products dominate the market, with a small portion of high-end, high-precision, and high-strength flange bolts still requiring import. The ratio of the import unit price to the export unit price is approximately 6 times or more.
