Global two-wheeler brake component market stood at more than $ 6 billion in 2019 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 9% in the next five years.
Anticipated growth in the market can be attributed to increasing demand for two-wheelers in developing nations. Moreover, stringent government regulations and mandates with reference to two-wheeler safety, in addition to government initiatives in economies such as China and India aimed to promote two-wheeler safety is further driving global two-wheeler brake component market. The main function of a brake component is to reduce the speed and stop the vehicle along with rider control. Two-wheeler braking components, such as brake caliper, brake shoe, and brake pad, are responsible for producing the braking effect in vehicles. Emergence of anti-lock braking systems (ABS), Combined braking system (CBS) and other technological advancements have gained popularity in the last few years, which is further driving demand for brake components.
Globally, two-wheeler brake component market is gaining traction and expanding to various regions including Asia-Pacific, South America, Europe, North America and Middle East & Africa. Asia-Pacific dominates global two-wheeler brake component market owing to rising two-wheeler production in economies such as India, China, Indonesia and Philippines.
Key Market Trends
Integration of Electronic Components
Integration of electronic components in braking systems is a leading trend in the Global Two-Wheeler Brake Components Market. Intelligent braking systems employing sensors and electronic control units (ECUs) to make braking more efficient and safe are gaining popularity. Such systems can provide functionalities like automatic braking, traction control, and real-time analysis of brake performance. The transformation to electronic integration is stimulated by the need for increased levels of safety and increasing take-up of connected and autonomous vehicle technologies.
Take-up of Lightweight Materials
Another major trend is the application of lightweight materials in brake parts. The industry is investigating high-strength alloys, composites, and advanced ceramics to minimize the weight of brake systems without sacrificing performance and safety. Lighter brake parts are part of the overall vehicle weight reduction, which enhances fuel efficiency and handling. This trend is part of the overall industry effort to create more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles.
Development of Regenerative Braking Systems
The growth of electric two-wheelers is fueling the creation of regenerative braking systems. Regenerative braking technology enables electric vehicles to recycle kinetic energy back into electrical energy stored in the battery when braking, improving energy efficiency and prolonging battery life. This type of technology demands specialized brake parts that are designed to support the dual purpose of conventional braking and energy regeneration. As the market for electric two-wheelers expands, the market for regenerative braking systems and related components is projected to soar.
Focus on Customization and Modular Design
Modular brakes and customization are emerging as prominent trends in the brake component industry. Companies are developing modular braking systems that are easily customizable and upgradeable in accordance with certain vehicle requirements and consumer preferences. This enables higher flexibility in design and application, addressing the varying demands of different two-wheeler models and market segments. Customization and modularization of brake components increase their appeal to manufacturers and customers, fueling market growth.

Product Type Insights
Of the brake shoes, brake pad, and brake calipers, the brake pad segment it is increasingly taking over the leadership in the Global Two-Wheeler Brake Components Market. This leadership comes due to numerous factors that renders brake pads as the most popular in the market and among manufacturers.
The brake pad segment can be said to dominate as a result of the huge application in the disc brake system, which is more commonly found in today's two-wheelers. Disc brakes with the use of brake pads are in most aspects better compared to drum brakes using brake shoes in as much as the braking capability is involved. They provide better heat dissipation, reduced fade and the ability to enjoy a consistent brake on different conditions. Therefore, shift from the traditional drum brakes to disc brakes has heavily placed pressure on brake pad producers.
Another significant variable in relation to the brake pad segment is the rise in awareness of the safety of cars. As they are part of the disc brake system, brake pads minimize the distance required to slow down to a stop and improves safety. With more automobile manufacturers embracing the use of even more advanced braking systems like the Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) which primarily utilize the disc brakes the demand for quality brake pads is likely to increase even further. Different governments and regulatory bodies in various regions are imposing stricter safety standards that force manufacturers to include disc brakes and consequently, brake pads in two-wheelers.
The technological advancement on the nature of brake pad materials has also played a role in its market dominance. The material used in the brake pads of the modern cars is a composite, ceramics, and higher performing materials that enhance on durability, heat stability, and its ability to increasingly offer the cars effective brake utilities. They not only improve on the longevity of brake pads but also on consistent performance irrespective of the type of riding one is engaged in. This makes them always to be in the correct standards of the users and manufacturers and thus makes them to be the best for usage.
Also, a growing use of high-performance and sport motorcycles has also been driven by the need to utilize brake pads. These motorcycles with their speed and agile handling require good braking so as to maximize the safety of the rider. Quieter and more efficient brake pads in terms of stopping power are part of such improved brake systems. As thus, while the demand for sport motorcycles and two premium wheelers goes up, there will be a demand for quality and efficient brake pads.
Regional Insights
Among the forces that can be singled out in propelling Asia Pacific dominance is the predominantly high volume production and sales levels of two-wheelers in nations like China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand. Collectively, they have a significant percentage of the world's population owning two-wheelers. Motorcycles and scooters are highly sought after in these densely populated nations because of aspects like affordability, fuel efficiency, and the fact that they can cut through heavy traffic is credited to these vehicles.
The interest conflict also affects the dominance of the Asia-Pacific nation by economic trait. Growth in gross domestic product and hence individual disposable income in developing economies has led to an increased number of middle income earners who have to travel longer distances and have shifted to own transport especially motorcycles. This prosperity in the economy has improved the purchaser power and thus, more consumers have turned towards buying new and advanced models with advanced braking system. Historically, the highest demand has been for the highest-grade brake components, which has contributed significantly to the development of this market in the region.
Furthermore, the Asia-Pacific industry is supported by the presence of major two-wheeler manufacturers. The development of the leading two wheeler players in Asia-Pacific region solidifies its dominance. Some of the big players in global motorcycle manufacturing such as China and India have numerous global and regional suppliers who possess long production networks and chains. Presently, these manufacturers continue to enhance their production and introduce new models to cater to further demand. The producers of the braking components have found themselves adjacent to these large two-wheeler manufacturers, this has fostered efficient supply chains, reduced production cost, and ultimately rapid and timely reaction to events in the market that will always be aiding the expansion of the market.
Another key aspect that has contributed to the region dominance is the favorable regulatory environment and governing policies spread to promote the adoption and use of two-wheeler vehicles. It is worth mentioning that most governments in the Asia-Pacific region have established policies and incentives favoring pro-two-wheeler and especially electric scooters and motorcycles. For instance, tax credits, subsidies, and grants for charging infrastructure for electric two-wheelers substantially contributed and enhanced the market demand of brake components.
