Automotive Disc Brake Market Overview

Report on Global Automotive Disc Brake by DataM Intelligence estimates the market is growing at a CAGR of 11.66% during the forecast period 2023-2030. Demand from Automotive industry in Asia Pacific is booming. Competitive rivalry intensifies with EBC Brakes, Federal Mogul, TRW Automotive and others operating in the market.

• Most modern vehicles use a brake system comprised of disc brakes. They are called such because they use force applied upon discs attached to the wheels to slow or stop a car. Compared to drum brakes, disc brakes provide greater stopping power and don’t overheat as quickly under heavy use. Disc brakes also don’t require much maintenance as drum brakes.

• The adoption of air disc brakes will be the most significant trend in the disc brake market for the next few years.

Automotive Disc Brake Market Dynamics and Trends

• The reduced Stopping Distance (RSD) mandate by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is driving the growth of the disc brake market globally.

• The increase in automotive sales and the increasing adoption of disc brakes in commercial vehicles and motorcycles are going to drive the market.

• The disc brakes are replacing drum brakes due to better performance. The market share of disc brakes is going to increase at the expense of drum brakes.

• Disc brakes require higher braking force than drum brakes. Disc brakes are much more prone to noise. Disc brakes need a separate hand-brake mechanism when fitted to the rear wheels.

• Disc brakes are generally made of grey iron or sometimes carbon ceramic. The weight of the drive can be a disadvantage. Lightweight disc brakes are very expensive, which is a significant restraint for the market.

Automotive Disc Brake Market Segmentation Analysis

• Automotive Disc Brake Market is segmented by caliper type, application, and region.

• By type, the market is segmented into fixed, floating, and sliding.

• Mechanical disc brakes generally consist of a cable pull system. They are cheaper, easier to install, lighter in weight, and require less complicated maintenance. But they are less effective than hydraulic disc brakes.

• Hydraulic brakes are more effective but also expensive. However, leakage in hydraulic disc brakes can cause complete failure.

• By Vehicle Type, the market is segmented into Passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and 2-wheelers. Bikes and passenger cars have been using disc brakes for many years. Commercial cars have traditionally used drum brakes.

• In the last few years, Air disc brakes are becoming very popular in the commercial vehicles segment. This trend is expected to continue in the future.
