The growing demand for both passenger and commercial vehicles is anticipated to propel the automotive brake systems market. The rapid increase in disposable income among individuals in both developing and developed nations, along with the rising need for personal vehicles for daily commuting, has significantly contributed to the heightened demand for these vehicles. This surge in the demand for passenger and commercial vehicles is expected to enhance the utilization of automotive brake systems, which are essential components in vehicle manufacturing. For example, in January 2024, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, a UK-based trade association, reported that UK commercial vehicle (CV) production increased by 18.5% in 2023, with 120,357 vans, trucks, taxis, buses, and coaches produced on factory lines. Thus, the rising demand for passenger and commercial vehicles is projected to drive demand for automotive brake systems during the forecast period.

The increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is projected to drive the growth of the automotive brake system market in the future. An electric vehicle is an automobile powered by an electric motor that draws electricity from a battery and can be charged via an external source. Automotive brake systems offer safer and more efficient regenerative braking mechanisms for electric vehicles, helping to slow them down and prevent accidents. For instance, in June 2024, the International Council on Clean Transportation, a U.S.-based non-profit public policy think tank, reported that in 2023, sales of new electric light-duty vehicles in the U.S. rose to approximately 1.4 million, up from nearly 1 million in 2022. Therefore, the growing demand for electric vehicles is fueling the automotive brake system market.

Major companies in the automotive brake systems market are concentrating on creating innovative solutions, such as next-generation electronic brake systems, to enhance vehicle safety, increase responsiveness, and optimize braking performance. A next-generation electronic brake system refers to an advanced braking technology that employs electronic controls and sensors to improve the safety and efficiency of a vehicle's braking mechanism. For example, in May 2023, Continental AG, a Germany-based automotive parts manufacturer, introduced the MK 120 ESC, a next-generation electronic brake system aimed at enhancing safety and efficiency in vehicles, particularly those designed for electric models. Initially implemented in Changan's Oshan X5 Plus and Uni-T, this system is about 5% lighter and 7% more compact than its predecessor, leading to energy savings and lower emissions. It also includes advanced cybersecurity features, such as an embedded hardware security module for secure key generation and supports over-the-air updates for ongoing enhancements.

Numerous entities within the automotive brake system market are actively engaging in strategic collaborations to fortify their market presence. These collaborations often encompass various activities such as joint research and development endeavors, partnerships to enhance product or service delivery, and alliances geared towards venturing into new markets. As an example, in 2022, Orbis Brakes, a US-based automotive parts company, introduced an innovative braking technology crafted through a partnership with NASA. Their collaboration led to the creation of a patented Periodic Wave disc brake, leveraging advanced aerodynamics to significantly enhance surface cooling and diminish brake fade. This groundbreaking braking technology aims to offer the performance standards akin to Formula One vehicles for everyday road use.

In April 2022, Cummins Inc., a U.S.-based company, acquired Jacobs Vehicle Systems for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to improve engine technologies and broaden product offerings while reaffirming Cummins Inc.'s commitment to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, enhancing customer relationships, and strengthening U.S. manufacturing capabilities. Jacobs Vehicle Systems (JVS), also based in the U.S., specializes in engine braking technology that improves vehicle control and minimizes brake wear.

Automotive brake systems are crucial components designed to slow down or bring a vehicle to a halt, primarily relying on friction to create resistance and exert force between two objects. These systems play a key role in preventing skidding, restoring traction to tires, and avoiding accidents.

There are two main types of automotive brake systems such as disc brakes and drum brakes. Disc brakes offer advantages such as less brake fade and better performance in wet conditions. They consist of a brake caliper, metal rotor, and brake pads to stop the vehicle. Various technologies are integrated into automotive brake systems, including antilock braking systems (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), traction stability control (TCS), and electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD). These technologies contribute to enhanced safety and performance. Automotive brake systems cater to different types of vehicles, including passenger cars, light commercial vehicles (LCV), trucks, and buses. These systems are distributed through channels such as original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and the aftermarket.
