[180 Pages Report] The Brake Friction Products Market size was estimated at USD 18.56 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 19.85 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 7.45% to reach USD 30.72 billion by 2030.

Brake friction products are components designed to reduce the speed of a moving object by applying force to the wheel or axle of the vehicle. These products work by generating resistance when in contact with the wheel or axle, resulting in slowing down the speed of the moving object. Brake friction products are commonly used on automobiles, bicycles, and other wheeled vehicles. The rising production of vehicles and growing focus on ensuring the safety of vehicles are resulting in increased deployment of brake friction products worldwide. The deployment of brake friction products across industrial and aviation sectors is increasing to decelerate and stop airplanes and machines. However, the high cost of maintenance associated with malfunctioning brake friction products and installations may reduce their adoption by end-use industries. Moreover, the ongoing advancements in brake lines brake pads, along with the introduction of lightweight brake friction products, are expected to encourage their deployment across end-use sectors.
