Automotive Break Shims Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Norms for Reducing Fatalities Caused by Vehicle Accidents

The rising passenger and commercial vehicles sales are fostering the global automotive brake shims market growth. The increasing demand for vehicles is positively impacting the global production cycle. As the demand for vehicles increases, the formation of regulatory mandates for making vehicles safer is rising. This leads to a surge in demand for disc brakes, penetration of anti-lock braking systems, and electronic stability control expansion. Therefore, government bodies of countries such as India have regulated safety-critical components within commercial and passenger vehicles, resulting in a rise in demand for automotive brake shims.

Moreover, fatalities caused due to vehicle accidents are one of the factors encouraging government bodies to introduce new norms for vehicles and road safety, which would help reduce fatalities. As a poor braking system is one of the causes of road accidents, establishing proper norms for using friction materials and braking systems is necessary. Below mentioned are some of the standards described by regional government bodies for braking systems:

  • As per the LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST article of January 2021, friction materials containing over 0.5% copper are prohibited from application in new vehicles commencing in 2025. Thus, companies such as Akebono have already begun following such laws. The company’s department engaged in producing and distributing friction materials and collaboratively working globally to comply with the new law. The company has already developed friction materials described by the new law.
  • New rules have come into the market, directly impacting the braking system. Since November 2016, the replacement of brake discs on newly registered vehicles should follow compliance with the ECE R90 (ECE Regulation 90 or Economic Commission for Europe Regulation 90) quality standard. This quality standard is implemented across the European Union and in non-European countries. Since November 1, 2016, all passenger cars of every model have complied with ECE R90 brake discs and drums. Companies such as MEYLE provides brake discs that already comply with the new standard. Similarly, AF Aftermarket is also obeying with new ECE R90.

Such laws for friction materials and disc brakes support the growth of automotive brake shims.

Advancements in Automotive Brake Technology

The critical component of any vehicle braking system is the disc brake pad. For example, stopping a heavy car traveling at 100 km/hour in a few seconds generates over 100 kW (kilowatt) of heat. That heat is transferred into the brake pads; temperatures can reach approximately 600°C and higher within seconds. Despite this, braking must be safe and smooth, with an increasing focus on health, safety, and the environment. Disc brake pad manufacturers must look for alternatives to traditional raw materials such as copper.

New friction materials must perform well under extreme braking conditions. Brake pads must give the same pedal feel and deceleration during repeated braking and sudden emergency stop in weather conditions such as wet or dry, muddy, or icy. Braking advancements are increasingly affecting automotive car manufacturers; also, several standards are imposed to ensure friction materials reduce emissions. Fine particulate emissions are becoming increasingly unwelcome in cities. And even EVs, which use regenerative braking that reduces wear and emissions, place their own demands on braking systems.

Automotive Break Shims Market Report Segmentation Analysis

Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the automotive break shims market analysis are material type and application.

  • Based on material type, the automotive break shims market is segmented into rubber coated, PSA material, thermoset material, and others. The others segment held a larger market share in 2023.
  • Based on application, the automotive break shims market is segmented into two wheeler, passenger vehicle, and commercial vehicle. The passenger vehicle segment held a larger market share in 2023.

Automotive Break Shims Market Share Analysis by Geography

The geographic scope of the automotive break shims market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America.

Asia Pacific has dominated the market in 2023 followed by Europe and North America regions. Further, Asia Pacific is also likely to witness highest CAGR in the coming years. China accounted for the largest market share in Asia Pacific automotive break shims market in 2023. According to figures from the OICA, over 30 million vehicles (Cars and Commercial Vehicles) were produced in 2023 across the China region, with 26.12 million of them being passenger cars. As the Chinese automobile industry has grown, more carmakers have increased their understanding and auto part research and development. They not only identify tier-one braking system suppliers directly, but they also limit the number of brake pad suppliers and the friction material composition. As a result, China's demand for braking systems is increasing. The expansion of companies that create brake shims for vehicles and companies that supply brake shims for aftermarket services is influenced by the growing demand for braking systems. This has increased the demand for the automotive brake shims market in the region.
