Growing Emphasis on Improving Standard Braking Systems to Aid Market Growth

Operators involved in the current market landscape have identified the need to improve the efficiency of standard braking equipment in automotive vehicles worldwide. While the automotive brake pad is predominantly made of three main materials: organic, metallic, and ceramic, stakeholders are not ruling out the possibility of deploying other materials to manufacture automotive brake pads. Research and development activities are in full swing to find novel materials that address the issues put forward by the existing braking systems and braking pads.

For instance, in April 2019, a group of researchers at the University of Toronto, Sharif University of Technology, and University of British Columbia introduced a new breaking system design, which is self-lubricating. The newly designed brakes are expected to prevent wear and tear, and offer superior frictional properties than the existing braking systems in the automotive market. While braking pad designs made from different materials offer a range of benefits and drawbacks based on multiple parameters, including noise, response time, design, cost, durability, and temperature while usage. However, apart from these parameters, the recently conducted research also takes into account other factors, including composite breakdown at high temperature, wear testing, durability, and friction.

The cutting-edge carbon fiber polymer brakes designed by researchers is expected to be a groundbreaking discovery in the automotive brake pad market. The advent of this technology is expected to trigger the development of smaller, cost-effective, and efficient brake pads with improved ability to withstand high temperatures and friction. Stakeholders in the current automotive brake pad market are expected to develop nanomaterials and combine them with polymers to create multifunctional composites to address a host of problems, including heat distribution, molecular level, friction, and wear.

Companies Prioritize Product Launches to Strengthen Market Position

Due to the evolving requirements of the automotive sector, the development of new automotive braking pads and innovations are expected to gain significant momentum in the automotive brake pad market. As new braking technologies continue to be launched in the market, new, efficient, and cost-effective automotive brake pads are set to feature in the automobiles in the future.

For instance, in July 2019, Dove Technologies, Inc. launched a new self-cooling brake pad in which the heat is directed away from the brake and the rotor contact area, owing to the unique design. While some companies are expected to launch new variants of automotive brake pads, other companies are inclined toward expanding their market presence by introducing innovative and high-performing disc brake technologies wherein braking pads are critical. For instance, in January 2020, Brembo, a leading brake manufacturer revealed that the company aims to strengthen its market presence by focusing on innovations and refining their disc brake technology.
