Aging
Vehicle PARC Drives the Global Automotive Aftermarket for Brake Friction Parts,
According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches comprehensive analysis of industry
segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size, and demand forecasts on
the global Automotive Aftermarket for Brake Friction Parts. The global Automotive Aftermarket Brake Friction Parts market is
projected to reach US$5.4 billion by 2024,
driven by aging vehicle parc and parallel opportunities for the aftermarket
business.
Though being a small part of an automobile, brake
system is an essential component of a vehicle and plays an important role in
its normal functioning. An efficient brake system helps the driver to keep the
vehicle under control, slow it down and halt the vehicle whenever necessary by
converting its kinetic energy into heat. The quality of the brake system
determines overall safety of the vehicle. Brakes often utilize ‘friction’ to
transform kinetic energy into heat. The brake friction part of an automobile slows
down or stops a vehicle by converting kinetic energy into heat energy via
friction. The
friction part of a drum brake is called the brake shoe while that of disc brake
is called the brake pad. In drum brake, the friction is caused when a set of
brake shoes presses against inner surface of a rotating drum, which is
connected to rotating road wheel hub. In the disc brake system, where the brake
disc is connected to the wheel or the axle, brake pads are pressed against both
sides of the disc creating friction, which causes disc and attached road wheel
to slow or stop.
As a critical safety component of a vehicle, which
helps the driver to slowdown or halt vehicle whenever necessary and avoid untoward
collisions, vehicle brake system needs to be always kept in excellent
condition. This therefore demands that vehicle owners regularly service, repair
and replace damaged or worn out brake friction components with new ones, thus
creating excellent market prospects for aftermarket brake friction parts. Given
the frequent use of brakes, especially on urban roads, brake friction parts
i.e., brake pads and brake shoes are subject to significant wear and tear
during the vehicle’s operating life and therefore need regular replacements,
thus creating business case for aftermarket brake friction parts. Growing
vehicular sales and subsequent rise in number of vehicles plying on roads,
increasing average vehicle life and number of vehicle miles travelled, also
creates strong business case for automotive parts and component replacements,
including that for brake friction parts.
As stated by the new market research report on Automotive Aftermarket Brake Friction Parts, Europe
represents the largest market worldwide, followed by the United States. Asia-Pacific
is forecast to witness the fastest growth with a CAGR of 7.0% over the analysis
period led by factors such as growing vehicle base and gradual shift to disc
brakes in the region. Developed regions such as the U.S., Japan and Europe are
expected to provide steady growth opportunities owing to the large number of
vehicles plying on the roads in these regions. On a product basis Brake Pads dominate the market, while Brake Shoes is in decline in various markets around the
world.
Key players in the market include ABS Friction Inc.,
ADVICS CO., LTD., Akebono Brake Industry Co., Ltd., Continental AG, Delphi
