Electric Vehicle Brake Pads Market
Brake pads are being used since the vehicles are there in the market. The electric vehicles market is in a growing phase leading to the growth in the electric vehicle brake pads market. Another important factor about electric vehicle brake pads is that they don’t require frequent replacement, unlike with the brakes in conventional vehicles.

Electric Vehicle Brake Pads Industry Overview
The global electric vehicle brake pads market is expected to reach $289.2 million by 2026, with a CAGR of 17.75% during the forecast period 2021-2026. The automotive industry is experiencing rising adoption of electric vehicles due to changing consumer preferences based on various factors, such as rising concerns about driver safety, environmental concerns, and acute government regulations and policies. Major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are constantly working on making electric vehicles more safe, affordable, and efficient. Over a period of time, the automotive industry is evolving with technological advancement in electric vehicle accessories such as battery systems, cooling systems, braking systems, and other components.

The safety of an electric vehicle (EV) depends upon the braking system, which includes brake pads, brake disc, and brake fluid, etc. The brake pads play an important role in the braking system as the stability and safety of a vehicle depend on them.

Market Segmentation

Electric Vehicle Brake Pads Market by Type
The electric vehicle brake pads market has been segmented based on type, including organic, metallic, and ceramic. The metallic type segment is estimated to dominate the global electric vehicle brake pads market since they have better braking power in a wide range of temperatures. Since metals are such excellent hot conductors, they can sustain further heat while assisting the braking systems in cooling down faster. Metal brake pads do not also compress as much as biological brakes.

Electric Vehicle Brake Pads Market by Propulsion Type
The electric vehicle brake pads market has been segmented based on propulsion type, including battery electric vehicle (BEV), plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV), and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The BEV segment is expected to be the front runner in the global electric vehicle brake pads market by propulsion type. Government incentives, tighter regulations for carbon dioxide emissions, growth of the charging infrastructure, and falling EV battery prices are significant factors for the increasing demand for BEV.

Electric Vehicle Brake Pads Market by Vehicle Type
The electric vehicle brake pads market has been segmented based on vehicle type, including passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Passenger cars are the leading vehicle type in the global electric vehicle brake pads market. Passenger cars make up a large percentage of electric vehicles globally. The dominant share of passenger cars among the different types of electric vehicles has contributed to the high demand for brake pads from the segment.

Electric Vehicle Brake Pads Market by Region
The electric vehicle brake pads market has been segmented based on region, including North America, Europe, the U.K., China, Asia-Pacific and Japan, and Rest-of-the-World (RoW). China is among the top leading countries in terms of EV production. The country is a hub of numerous electric vehicle manufacturers, which in turn, contribute to the demand for brake pads in the region.
