Passenger car vehicle segment will account for significant automotive brake caliper market share through 2026. Growing penetration of the high performance cars will spur the industry growth as calipers substantially reduces the on-track operating temperature in order to enhance braking system performance. Globally, the passenger car vehicle production was reported at 67.5 million units in 2019 and will be growing steadily.
 

Adoption of lightweight automobiles will increase fixed brake calipers penetration

Fixed brake caliper segment is expected to grow substantially till 2026 as it offers advantages of residual torque and weight reduction to the vehicles. These products can accommodate 2 to 8 pistons and consists the same number of pistons on both inboard and outboard halves of the caliper. Growing need for high performance and low carbon emitting vehicles will fuel the need for fixed brake calipers.
 

OEM holds majority share of the global automotive brake caliper market

OEMs dominates the overall market revenue share on account of growing usage of air disc brake in the vehicles. These products are gaining considerable attention from zero fuel emission vehicles manufacturers. Rising need for safety and high performance of vehicles will stimulate the OEM segment growth.
 

Cost-effectiveness of steel materials will be accountable for its dominance in the industry

Steel piston material segment is predicted to dominate more than 40% market share during the forecast timeframe. These materials are easily available at reasonable cost and possess characteristics such as high durability, resistance to corrosion, hardness, and high mechanical strength.
 

High pressure die casting will dominate the market share

High pressure die casting process is likely to gain significant attention in the industry as it is extensively used in making steel calipers. In addition, rising production of vehicles across the globe is expected to increase usage of this process in the product.
