How technological improvement can evolve the market for automotive brake pads?

In order to make driving more convenient and safe, automotive manufacturers are actively attempting to improve brake pad technology as a result of technological advancements. Apart from the traditional brake pads, manufacturers have developed brake pads into anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and anti-collision items.

Due to the rise of hybrid and electric vehicles, regenerative braking and anti-lock brakes (ABS) have recently dominated the brake pad market in the USA and Europe. In 2020, the market for electric car regenerative braking pads was valued at USD 3.5 billion. These technical improvements, such as regenerative braking and the introduction of a brake-by-wire system, have significant potential in developing countries, indicating a positive automotive brake pad market trend.

How growing concern about safety is likely to induce the market for automotive brake Pads?

Defective brakes are one of the key reasons causing accidents in the UK, according to the Department for Transport Statistics. Innovation in braking technologies, concerns regarding the safety of the driver, and haphazardness on the roads, especially in developing countries are some of the factors which are causing a high demand for high-end automotive brake components.

Awareness about the safety systems and safety regulations under the new car Assessment Programme will induce the demand for advanced electronic brake systems.

The USA Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has put forward the manufacturing of automatic emergency braking systems (AEB). With low-speed AEBs, road crashes will reduce and therefore prevent the exposure of injuries. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways proposed government of India and mandated anti-lock braking systems for new two-wheelers from April 1, 2018.

These stringent norms will drive the brake pad manufacturers to develop advanced braking pads. From 2020, Ford, Honda, Kia, and Nissan equipped their new passenger vehicles with AEB.

While the use of Asbestos based brake pads is set to see a downfall due to its harmful effects leading to lung cancer and is banned in more than 55 countries including Japan, Australia, and European Union. However, Russia produces a large amount of asbestos with an annual production of approximately 790,000 million metric tonnes in 2020.

Why Automotive Brake Pad Manufacturers are moving to Non-Asbestos Organic Brake Pad material type?

Non-Asbestos Organic Brake Pads remain the key material type from 2017 to 2021, and its market grew at 3.6% CAGR from 2017 to 2021. Asbestos being highly toxic has surged the demand for Non-Asbestos Organic brake pads. It is made up of fiberglass, rubber Kevlar and cellulose.

Owing to its property of being soft and noiseless, it is used in manufacturing day-to-day vehicles. However, the use of Non-Asbestos Organic Brake Pad is limited in high-end vehicles due to increased wear and tear.

How the rise of electric vehicles can drive the demand for ceramic brake pads?

Ceramic brake pads are being highly utilized in hybrid and electric vehicles due to their sturdy feature that helps to retain high thermal resistance while following environmental protocols. Ceramic material type is anticipated to lead in revenue generation terms to the global electric vehicle market during the forecasted period. Ceramic Brake pads require less replacement and produce less dust than organic brake pads.

Because of its structure, it wears down at a slower rate. Although the cost of manufacturing is higher, however, owing to the properties of noise it is preferred by most automotive brake manufacturers.
