Brake System Market Expected to Reach $61.20 Billion by 2027

According to a recent report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Brake System Market by Product Type, Sales Channel, and End Use: Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020–2027,”the global brake system market was valued at $41.62 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $61.20 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 7.0%.

Asia-Pacific dominates the market in terms of revenue, followed by Europe, North America, and LAMEA. China dominated the global brake system market share in 2019; however, India is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period, due to increase in production and sales of vehicles as well as rise in automation in the agricultural activities across the country.

Brake system is a mechanical or electrical device that enables vehicle slow down or stop as per the driver’s requirement. It includes the set of components such as brake pedal, master cylinder, brake calipers, brake shoes, brake disc, brake rotor, brake drum, brake lining, and hoses. Brake system sales is totally dependent on the production activities' rakes in end-use industries. Drum brake is expected to be remain dominant in the global market, owing to its cost-effective operation as well as its high compatibility in the various vehicle and industrial trucks. Regenerative & dynamic braking is anticipated to witness lucrative growth, owing to increasing sales of electric driven industrial trucks and automotive across the globe.

The COVID impact on the brake system market is unpredictable and it is expected to remain in force till the second quarter of 2021. The COVID-19 outbreak across the globe has forced the central government to give directives to ensure the safety of the workers and to contain the spread of coronavirus. This nationwide lockdown forces the manufacturing facilities of the brake system to shut down or cut the full fledge opening of the facilities. The epidemic has placed more pressure on the brake system manufacturing for its business model transformation, as the industry is facing demand shock with an uncertain recovery timeline.

OEM procurement is basically done through long-term supply agreements to fulfill the production raw material requirement. Majority of the market players are entering into long term contracts with OEM to retain the business opportunities. Market leaders are involved in the continuous development and research activities for new product launches to gain competitive advantage.

The growth of the global brake system market is majorly driven by increase in sales & production of commercial vehicles and off-highway trucks, increase instringency of automotive active safety regulations, and impact of new car assessment program (NCAP) on electronic brake systems are expected to drive the global brake system market. However, high development cost of electronic brake systems and high installation & maintenance cost are expected to restrain the growth of the brake system market during the forecast period. Conversely, regulations related to load carrying capacity and mandates on air brakes installation, introduction of brake-by-wire system, and introduction of regenerative braking are anticipated to supplement the global brake system market growth; thus, providing a better opportunity for the growth of the market in the near future.
