The global Brake Friction market is expected to grow from USD 9.9 Billion in 2020 to USD 13.9 Billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 4.4% during the Projection period 2021-2028. This growth of the brake friction market is significantly driven by the increased need for brake replacement owing to the rise in traffic congestion along with the stringent brake emission norms across the globe.
The term brake friction applied to the either stopping or reducing the speed of the vehicle using a braking system which involves friction. In this system, friction is the act of two items rubbing together to reduce movement. For performing the function of braking, a friction brake utilizes friction among a stationary and a moving part of the brake, which are pressed together during the process of braking. The automotive brake friction system comprises a number of products including brake pad, brake shoe, brake drum, disc, and liner.
Friction braking has become one of the most commonly used braking methods in modern vehicles. Also, there is an emerging trend of using lightweight material in brake friction products fueling the growth of the brake friction market.

Market Dynamics
Drivers:
Significant economic growth, along with the rising demand for passenger cars, buses, trucks, and other commercial vehicles are being observed across the globe. This has led to the growth in automotive production across the globe. Every vehicle is equipped with braking systems that comprise various brake friction products. In addition to this, there is huge growth in automotive production across developing countries such as China and India, fueling the growth of the global brake friction market.
There is rapid growth in traffic congestion around the globe which results in longer trip times, slower speeds, and increased vehicular queuing. For instance, according to the December 2021 analysis by Inrix, U.S. drivers lost an average of 36 hours due to congestion. This factor has led to the need for brake replacement in vehicles, fueling the growth of the global brake friction market.
Restraints:
Ongoing technological advancements have led to the development of brake friction products with an increased life span. This has posed a major challenge for brake friction products manufacturers. In addition to this, OEMs are preferring durable brake friction products that are less likely to fade early. Moreover, the emergence of government strict regulations and safety norms has led to increased pressure on manufacturers to produce durable braking system products. The increased life of brake friction products due to the aforementioned factor is expected to hamper the growth of the market to some extent during the Projection period.
Opportunities:
There is a significant trend of lightweight across the global automotive sector. Owing to this trend, a number of manufacturers are increasing their emphasis on where to save weight based on each vehicles’ mission and price point. For instance, aluminum or carbon composite are being considered for the manufacture of discs. This trend is anticipated to create lucrative growth opportunities for the market during the Projection period.
Challenges:
Owing to the unprecedented crisis of COVID-19, a number of countries have employed nationwide lockdowns. However, as they are reopening, safety measures such as social distancing are still being applied. This has caused a significant economic downturn across the globe along with the sudden discontinuation of automotive and associated components production. Hence, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has posed challenges to the global brake friction market.
