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.
