Sales Analysis of Automotive Backing Plate Market from 2017 to 2021 Vs Market Outlook for 2022 to 2032

Future Market Insights’ analysis reveals that the market for automotive backing plates from 2017 to 2021 grew at a CAGR of 3.9%. With an absolute dollar opportunity of USD 380.6 Million, the market is projected to reach a valuation of USD 994 Million by 2032.

The top brake material used in the automotive backing plate is aluminum. Aluminum-based automotive backing plate reported a 3.5% CAGR from 2017 to 2021 and is expected to achieve a growth rate of 4.8% during the forecasted year of 2022 to 2032.

Every braking system relies on backing plates to function properly. Its primary role is to hold the other brake system components together. Drum brakes are supported by backing plates. Brake shoes are then installed over the backing plate's wheel cylinder, providing the necessary grip to stop the vehicle from using friction. Without backing plates, brakes would not have something to rely on.

The market for disc brakes in the automotive backing plates will witness steady growth and is set to witness a 4.6% CAGR, during the forecasted period of 2022 to 2032. Disc brake reported a 3.4% CAGR between 2017 and 2021. Disc brakes are commonly preferred in the automobile backing plate market as it is lighter than drum brakes and has a greater cooling effect due to their location of being directly exposed to air.

Disc brakes are most commonly seen in passenger automobiles, but due to their consistent performance at higher speeds and resistance to brake fade, they are slowly making their way into the commercial vehicle category, where drum brakes were formerly preferred due to their longer service life. Customers are increasingly demanding longer service life and higher quality.

Most disc brake pads use steel backing plates, while some often go for aluminum or titanium-backed pads. Aluminum brake material types are lighter to use and do not rot or delaminate from the backing plate. Stainless steel is another option used in the automotive backing plate. Due to the proximity of water, stainless steel is widely employed in the manufacturing of backing plates.

Stamped hole backing plates have holes in the backing plate and are made out of steel. Over 95% of the passenger vehicle are comprised of stamped hole back plates. However, their use is declining in Commercial Vehicles because these backing plates are not sufficient enough to hold the strength of heavy vehicles.

Wire mesh steel plate is another segment driving the market for commercial vehicle brake pads. They are used in medium and heavy-duty brakes as they can provide better strength than hole-stamped hole backing plates. The only drawback is that they are more expensive than stamped hole backing plates.

OE manufacturers are largely engaging in manufacturing cast iron back plates. Cast iron backing plate exhibits shear strength for the brake pad due to its architecture. As a result, they are suitable for commercial vehicle brake pads. OE manufacturers are using cast iron back plates in SCANIA, VOLVO, and other heavy commercial vehicles.

What is the market outlook for OEM and aftermarket sales channels for the automotive backing plate?

The aftermarket sales channel is likely to dominate the automotive backing plate market. Original equipment backing plates often get rusted in millions of passenger vehicles, leading to exposure of certain brake components like brake shoes, springs, and hardware damage.

Salvaging and evaluating the damaged components is a tedious task. Therefore, numerous aftermarket has expanded their production capacity to offer replacement components for vehicles.

Dorman, a leading automotive supplier in the aftermarket launched backing plates that provide the one-stop solution for all brake components and assist in eliminating misdiagnosis, and incorrect repair and releasing tens of thousands of replacement products engineered to save time and money.
