Automotive Braking System Market Size and Forecast 2024 to 2034

The global automotive braking system market size accounted for USD 53.40 billion in 2024 and is expected to be worth around USD 92.97 billion by 2034, at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2024 to 2034.

Automotive Braking System Market Key Takeaways

• Asia Pacific led the global market with the highest market share of 58% in 2023.
• By Part Type, the disc segment has held the highest revenue share in 2023.
• By Vehicle, the passenger vehicles segment dominated the global market in 2023.

Asia Pacific Automotive Braking System Market Size and Growth 2024 to 2034

The Asia Pacific automotive braking system market size was estimated at USD 29.30 billion in 2023 and is predicted to be worth around USD 53.92 billion by 2034, at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2024 to 2034.

On the regional front, the Asia Pacific led the global automotive braking system market. This is attributed to the low production cost along with rising demand of transportation in countries such as China and India. Furthermore, increasing penetration of auto parts manufacturers and foreign automakers in this region has created lucrative opportunities in this region.  In addition, significant participation from BRICS nations in trade affairs in China and India expected to boost the growth of automotive braking system market in the regions.

Moreover, increasing demand for electric and battery-powered vehicles in the Asian countries such as India, Japan, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, and other nations expected to propel the market growth of automotive braking system during the forecast years. High population along with significant presence of youth population in the region again influences the market growth of automotive braking system. Young population prefer high driving speed that in turn require advanced and efficient braking system to curb the rate of accidents, thereby driving the growth of advanced braking system in the region.

However, Europe and North America are other most prominent markets in the automotive braking system. The regions have strict safety regulations along with competitive dynamic of the trucking industry that expected to propel the pneumatic segment in the automotive braking system in the regions.

Automotive Braking System Market Growth Factors

Automotive braking systems have gained significant traction in the recent times due to increasing requirement for advanced technology automotive brakes in passenger as well as commercial vehicles. Increasing number of road accidents across the globe has forced governments along with international organizations to pass stringent safety norms, thereby leading to boost the demand of advanced braking technologies that include Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). Government mandates have surged the implementation of ABS by automotive manufacturers. In addition, 40 members of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) have adopted the mandatorily implementation of Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems for vehicles by the end of 2020. The aforementioned factors expected to propel the growth of the market.

However, lack of considerable efforts for reducing the counterfeit of brake-related products estimated to hamper the growth of the market along with compromising the vehicle’s safety.

Market Scope 

Part Type Insights

Disc brakes are expected to witness an escalating demand compared to other types of braking systems available in the market. The demand for disc brakes are higher as it offers shorter stopping distance as well as the brake is more efficient while emergency braking condition.

In addition, these brakes allow cooler running and need less external casing. Disc brakes are also prominently used in most of the heavy–duty trucks. Moreover, the integration of front-disc/rear-drum setup that can be mounted on medium and low-priced vehicles projected to fuel the demand for the disc brakes in the coming years.

Vehicle Insights

As brakes are an integral part of every vehicle, the rising production of vehicles along with its increasing demand anticipated to positively influence the market growth. Passenger vehicles captured significant production share of nearly 75% per year that in turn boost the demand for advanced braking system in the passenger vehicle segment. However, demand for commercial vehicles expected to proliferate in the coming years because of accelerating growth of logistics and transportation industry. For instance, demand for SUVs has increased in North America primarily for its application in off-terrain activities, thereby creating numerous opportunities for the automotive braking system market in the region.

Moreover, the government of U.S. has invested prominently in the development of logistics &infrastructure that has triggered the demand for commercial vehicles in the country. Further, rising implementation of automotive braking system in coaches and buses as well as in other heavy commercial vehicles for high efficiency and better brake response predicted to surge the demand of braking technology in commercial vehicle segment during the forecast period.
