Global Brake Friction Market- Market Overview
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:
- Increased vehicle production around the globe
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.
- Need for brake replacement owing to the rise in traffic congestion
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:
- Increasing life of brake friction products
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:
- Rising usage of lightweight materials in brake friction systems
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:
- Disruptions due to COVID-19
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.
Segmentation Analysis
The global brake friction market has been segmented based on material, technology, components, vehicle type, and regions.
By Product Type
- The product type segment includes brake disc, pad, shoe, drum, and liner. The brake disc segment led the brake friction market with a market share of around 36.4% in 2020. The growth of this segment is mainly driven by the fact that the brake disc type of product has higher stopping power than drum brakes. In addition to this, the installation of disc brakes is high across passenger cars in Europe and North America. Moreover, recently, Bosch launched a new brake disc to reduce pollution due to brake dust, such product innovations fuel growth of the segment during the Projection period. However, this segment is also expected to witness the highest growth rate during the Projection period.
By Disc Material
- The disc material segment includes metallic disc and ceramic disc. The metallic disc segment led the brake friction market with a market share of around 58.3% in 2020. The improved braking performance across a wide range of conditions and temperatures primarily drives the growth of this segment. However, the ceramic disc segment is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the Projection period due to rising preference for ceramic discs owing to its features such as higher thermal conductivity, more corrosion resistance, cleaner, quieter, and lighter.
By Vehicle Type
- The vehicle type segment includes passenger cars, lightweight commercial vehicles, trucks, and buses. The passenger car segment held the largest market share of 41.2% in 2020. The growth of this segment is mainly driven by an upsurge in production and sales of passenger vehicles due to the increasing disposable incomes of populations. In addition to this, the fact that passenger cars have become the most essential mode of conveyance in developed countries and developing countries has boosted the segment growth.
By Type
- The type segment includes woven and molded. The molded segment held the largest market share of 55.4% in 2020. The number of features such as wide-ranging friction levels, low wear, and low abrasion, and smooth & consistent friction primarily drives the growth of the molded segment. However, the woven segment is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the Projection period.
By Regional Analysis
The regions analyzed for the Brake Friction market include North America, Europe, South America, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. The Asia Pacific region dominated the Brake Friction market and held the 36.1% share of the market revenue in 2020.
- Growth of the Asia Pacific brake friction market is mainly driven by a number of factors such as rapid growth of the automotive industry in China and Japan, increasing disposable income of populations, rapid economic growth, and demand for industrial vehicles due to rapid industrialization. In addition to this, ongoing demand for commercial & residential vehicles along with the supportive government initiatives for brake friction systems is projected to fuel market size in the region.
- The North America and Europe region are likely to register significant growth during the Projection period due to a number of stringent mandates and regulations for stopping distance along with the significant trend of disc brakes installation in passenger cars.
