The automotive brake shims market is expected to grow from US$ 540.78 million in 2021 to US$ 705.11 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2021 to 2028.

Automotive brake shims in the automotive brake shims market are made of slim layers of rubber or metal adhesive pads and are placed between the brake caliper and the brake pad to reduce the brake noise. Automotive brake shims are used in disc brake systems, which minimize excessive noise generated by disc brakes, thereby stopping the movement of the wheel hub assembly (WHA). Automotive brake shims also improve brake quality and reduce the vibration of the calipers and brake pads. They are used in different vehicles, including two-wheelers and four-wheelers. Also, the automotive brake shims are employed in passenger vehicles and commercial applications. An automotive disc brake is installed on the front or rear side or both sides of the wheel hub. Automotive brake shims are designed to provide a multifunction noise control system and act as a component attached to the friction pad backing plate. Nowadays, manufacturers in the automotive brake shims market focus on high-quality brake shims made of advanced technological materials or various metals, such as elastomeric rubbers, viscoelastic polymers/bonding materials, and fiberglass.

Geographically, North America is likely to dominate the automotive brake shims market. The automotive brake shims market growth can be attributed to the growing use of disc braking systems, including shims, clips, gaskets, and even sensors in low-cost automobiles. To enhance their market shares and assure healthy growth, the leading companies have made significant expenditures in research and development. With 8.8 million cars produced in 2020, the US has the largest market share in automobile production. For instance, Continental North America, a subsidiary of Continental AG based in the US, invested almost US$ 40 million in the Morganton car plant thereby increasing the demand in the automotive brake shims market.
