Download Sample Ask for Discount Request Customization
Global Brake Friction Product Market is projected to reach USD 38.98 Billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of over 7% during 2018-2023 owing to increasing vehicle production, growing safety concerns, stringent regulations of the government for vehicle safety and increasing road accidents.
Based on product type, the brake pads are estimated to be the fastest growing aftermarket segment, in terms of volume. Brake pads are prone to frequent wear-and-tear, owing to factors such overall weight of the vehicle, quality of friction material used, as poor road conditions, brakes usage pattern and high braking pressure in case of four-wheel-drive vehicles. Thus, the frequency of replacement is high, which boosts the growth of the aftermarket segment of brake friction products market. The major market player of the Global Friction Product market is Robert Bosch GmbH.
Market segments
The global brake friction product market is segmented by product type (disc, pad, drum, shoe, liner), vehicle type (passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles), and region. Disc brakes, particularly metallic discs, dominate the market due to their high braking power and cost-effectiveness. Passenger cars represent the largest segment, driven by increasing global demand and safety regulations.
