Automotive Brake Friction Products Market Analysis
Manufacturers of brake friction products face a significant challenge as vehicle components live longer. OEMs prefer long-lasting brake friction products that fade less quickly due to controlled friction, reduced wear, reduced noise, and reduced roughness. Additionally, OEMs and manufacturers consider durability across a resistance to water washout, wide service temperature range, clean assembly of brake-Caliper components, road contaminants, and oxidation, and when developing brake friction products. Regenerative braking has been used in battery-operated electric vehicles in recent years. The electric vehicle manufacturers are adopting advanced frictional products to smoothly run the vehicles. Metal rotor discs are used in the manufacturing of electric vehicles. With the increased sales of electric vehicles, the demand for the automotive brake friction products market is growing at a rapid pace during the forecast period as these brake frictional products are lighter and highly efficient. Therefore, with the increasing demand for eco-friendly transportation with high demand for electric vehicles, there is expected to be ample opportunity for the automotive brake friction products market growth.
Automotive Brake Friction Products Market Overview
The growth of automotive brake friction products is primarily attributed to increasing automotive production and sales in major countries in Asia Pacific, such as India, China, Indonesia, Japan, and Thailand. The increased electric vehicle production and stringent government safety rules and regulations across Japan, China, and India are boosting the global automotive brake friction products market growth. China is projected to dominate the global market owing to increased automotive production and rapid sales of electric vehicles in this country. China is the largest automotive and automotive components manufacturer. Thus, the automotive brake friction products market is growing at a rapid pace. Several OEMs in China are focused on the development of lightweight materials such as composites, carbon fiber, and many others for brake friction products. Also, the increasing adoption of safety features in the latest launched vehicle models is driving the market growth. For instance, Shanghai Automotive Brake Systems Co., Ltd. made a joint venture between Huayu Automotive Systems Company Limited and Continental AG to supply brake friction products in China.

Automotive Brake Friction Products Market Drivers and Opportunities
Increasing Traffic Congestion with Surge in Demand for Replacement of the Automotive Components Drives the Market Growth
The use of brakes is increasing at a rapid pace while driving owing to a surge in traffic congestion. In traffic conditions, vehicles are subjected to more braking, which wears down the brake shoes and brake pads, which ultimately reduces braking power. The braking power is being reduced, which strengthens higher demand for the replacement of brake pads and brake shoes. This has increased the use of frictional brakes owing to traffic congestion that results in driving the global automotive brake friction products market growth during the forecast period.
Metal-Free Brake Pads Technology in Electric Vehicles
Phenolic composite brake pad backing plates are 75% lighter, inert, and corrosion-free, thermally insulating, and have superior damping properties required for electric vehicle braking duty cycles. Further, in February 2022, Brakes India launched high-performance 'Elite' friction brake pads. Brakes India launched wide range of high-performance braking pads designed to enhance the braking capabilities at high speeds and in the hilly areas.
