Market Overview

Brakes are an essential part of any vehicle ensuring the safety of the passengers. Rapid technological development in the brakes market has resulted in a radical transformation, from early drum brakes to currently used discs. The evolution of brakes system has been contributing immensely in augmenting safety and alleviated risks probabilities for quite a while now. The 19th century marked the advent of wooden brakes, upgrading to mechanical drums, followed by hydraulics to discs and finally the sensor based anti-lock brakes. Advancements in the brakes technology are essential in order to maintain safety along with fulfilling the rising demands of the market.

The automotive brakes market is estimated to reach $24.81 billion by 2022. Increasing safety regulations resulting in the increased demand for braking technologies such as Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is one of the major factors which has contributed to the overall market growth. High costs associated with electronically assisted brakes and fluctuations in the price of raw materials are some of the factors which are hampering the overall market growth. However, increased adoption of braking technologies such as regenerative braking system and autonomous emergency braking systems will lead to a key opportunity for growth of automotive brakes market. In terms of value, the autonomous emergency braking systems was estimated to generate $2.56 billion globally, in the year 2015.

Disc brakes dominated the overall automotive brakes market revenue and is also currently expected to grow at a faster rate in comparison to drum brakes. Factors such as the rise in demand for luxury vehicles and increased government regulations on reduced braking distances will positively impact the demand for disc brakes. In addition to this, better efficiency and performance as well as a decline in price difference between the two brake types will also boost the demand for disc brakes.

The widespread application of brakes in passenger cars accounted for a major share of the total automotive brakes market in 2015. High production volume of passenger cars, stringent government regulations on installation on ABS and ESC, and gradual growth of emerging economies such as India and China are major factors contributing to the advancement of the passenger car brakes market.

Asia-Pacific (APAC) was the maximum revenue generating region in 2015 and is also expected to grow at a faster rate in the forecast period in comparison to other regions. Factors such as a well-established automotive industry, high demand for luxury cars which is a result of the growing disposable income, and increasing manufacturing facilities are some of the major factors contributing to the market growth in the APAC region.

Some of the key players in this industry are Aisin Seiki Co. Ltd, Akebono Brake Industry Co. Ltd, Continental AG, Haldex AB, Knorr Bremse AG, ZF TRW Automotive Holdings Corporation, and Brembo S.p.A. These companies are actively aiming for an increased number of product launches and collaborations to expand their operations and prevent new companies from becoming future competitors.
