Global Automotive Brake Linings Market Size, Share, Forecast Report, 2020-2027

Modern cars have brake lining on all four wheels, which are operated by hydraulic systems. The automotive brake linings are a type of breaking system employed in automobiles for enhancing vehicle safety. They are high-pressure breaking systems, which are used in drum brakes and disc brakes. The automotive brake linings are made up of various materials, such as non-asbestos, semi asbestos, and ceramic, which are available at low prices in the market, making them economical to brake system manufacturers. The major advantage of this system is that it can be designed with enough fail-safe capacity to stop the vehicle safely even with considerable leakage. This type of breaking system are easy to install on brake shoes and pads as they are interconnected by pipes.

The major key driving factors for the growth of this market are the increasing uses of automotive brake linings in SUV’s, rising sale and production of commercial vehicles across the globe, rising demand for off-highway vehicles due to growing construction and mining activities, increasing long distance transportation, low maintenance cost of this system, and the growing concerns regarding the safety of passenger and commercial vehicles.

The growing stopping distances over hydraulic breaking and stringent regulations relating to the use of light-weight materials in the brake linings are some of the factors that are hindering market growth. However, the growing disposable income from countries such as China, India, and Germany, the advancement in technology like regenerative braking system, growing urbanization, and developing economies from emerging countries are providing opportunities for the global market.

Competition amongst automotive brake linings manufacturers and government regulations to use environment-friendly materials in automotive brake linings has prompted manufacturers to design the system as per the government regulations, which is considered as one of the key factors responsible for the growth of this market.
