Brake Lines Global Market Report 2024

The brake lines market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $29.3 billion in 2023 to $30.83 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the expansion of the automotive industry, the implementation of stringent safety regulations, increasing consumer demand for vehicle safety, a focus on weight reduction in vehicles, the global expansion of automotive production, and the popularity of aftermarket brake system upgrades.

The brake lines market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $36.27 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the transition to electric and hybrid vehicles, a global emphasis on vehicle safety standards, the shift towards autonomous vehicles, increased focus on environmental sustainability, and the expansion of the electric and autonomous vehicle aftermarket. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the adoption of advanced coating technologies, a focus on the integration of brake line sensors, a shift towards electro-hydraulic brake systems, the development of flex brake lines for electric vehicles, an increasing emphasis on environmental sustainability, and the adoption of 3D printing technology for brake line components.

The brake lines market is poised for growth due to the increasing demand for automobiles. Automobiles, which are self-propelled vehicles designed for personal transportation, rely on brake lines to transmit hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal to the wheel brakes, ensuring precise control of braking force for safe and effective stopping. In August 2023, sales of passenger cars in the US surged by 12.7%, reaching 280,223 units compared to 248,704 units in August 2022. Additionally, light truck sales increased by 17.2%, rising from 905,069 units in August 2022 to 1,060,946 units in August 2023. This surge in automobile demand is a key driver behind the growth of the brake lines market.

The growth of the brake line market is further fueled by the increasing number of road accidents. Brake lines play a crucial role in preventing accidents by enabling effective braking, potentially averting collisions. In May 2023, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reported an increase in road crashes in the United States from 35,935 in 2020 to 39,508 in 2021, with fatalities rising from 39,007 in 2020 to 42,939 in 2021. The surge in road accidents emphasizes the importance of effective brake lines in ensuring road safety.

The brake lines market faces challenges due to the development of alternative braking systems. Innovations such as energy recovery systems, regenerative braking, and frictionless braking are being explored to meet the demand for fuel-saving technologies. For instance, ZF Friedrichshafen AG enabled Tevva, a British electric truck maker, to develop a regenerative braking system up to four times more efficient than conventional systems. These alternative braking systems, driven by the pursuit of fuel efficiency and autonomous driving, present a restraint on the traditional brake lines market.

Major companies in the brake lines market are strategically focused on developing aerodynamically advanced brake lines to enhance profitability. Orbis Brakes Inc., a US-based brake manufacturer, introduced the Periodic Wave disc brake line in July 2022. This brake line incorporates advanced aerodynamics, improving efficiency by reducing drag and enhancing braking responsiveness. Developed in collaboration with NASA, the brake line's patented design creates periodic waves on the rotor's surface, promoting airflow and reducing heat buildup. This innovative approach aims to deliver high-performance braking at an affordable price.

In October 2022, AGS Automotive Solutions, a US-based aftermarket manufacturer of brake, fuel, and transmission lines, acquired BrakeQuip LLC to strengthen its product lines. BrakeQuip LLC, also based in the US, is a manufacturer of brake lines. The acquisition aligns with AGS Automotive Solutions' strategy to expand its offerings in brake, fuel, and transmission products.

Brake lines play a crucial role in an automobile's braking system by facilitating the transport of brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders, allowing hydraulic pressure to be applied to the brakes for vehicle stopping. These lines are typically constructed from materials such as metal, rubber, or a combination of rubber and synthetic materials.

The primary materials used in brake lines include steel, aluminum, rubber, and others. Steel, recognized for its strength as an alloy of iron and carbon with additional elements, is valued for its durability and versatility. These brake lines, composed of steel, are utilized across various vehicle types, including passenger cars and commercial vehicles, and are distributed through various sales channels, including OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and aftermarket.
