Brakes are one of the important parts of vehicles, without which it is not possible to use any vehicle for travelling. Brakes that serve to slow down a vehicle should not be too weak as well as should not be too efficient, as to avoid ill effects of sudden brake. Types of brakes includes disc brakes and drum brakes. A disc brake is made up of iron cast or of carbon-carbon & ceramic -matrix composites and are attached to the rotating wheel. To stop the wheel, friction material, which is in the form of brake pads, are forced against both sides of the discs causing friction and eventually decelerating or stopping the wheel. A drum brake is a traditionally used brake in which friction is achieved by a set of pads or shoes that forces against a rotating drum-shaped part known as brake drum.

People are concerned about these conditions and demand for safety features to be incorporated in their vehicles. Due to all these prevailing conditions, automobile companies are producing safety features enabled in vehicles. The automotive brake system market is thus driven by such factors.
Technological Advancements in Safety Features
Automobile companies are constantly producing new and enhanced products for comfortable and safe driving of vehicles. Products such as antilock braking system, electronic stability control, and anti-collision devices are frequently developed by players to produce safer and better vehicles. Antilock. For instance, in February 2018, Continental AG developed third generation of antilock braking system (ABS), which responds to speeding of vehicles along with providing safer, controllable, and optimum brake performance while driving. In November 2017, Bosch launched antilock braking system for eBikes, which prevents locking up of the front wheel, along with controlling the lifting of the rear wheel of these bikes. In addition, antilock braking systems are now available with electronic stability control (ESC) to prevent skidding thus, bringing vehicles under control. Therefore, technological advancements in vehicle safety features is a potential driver in the growth of the automotive brake system market.

Aftermarket is projected as the most lucrative segments
High Installation and Maintenance Cost
High maintenance cost of components of antilock braking system presents a barrier to the growth of the antilock braking system market. On an average, maintenance and installation cost of ABS is around $2000, including labor cost for commercial vehicles. The electronic control module of ABS costs from $1000 to $5000 and is not readily available in the market. This high maintenance and installation cost of advanced automotive brakes system is anticipated to hinder the growth of the automotive brake system market.
Development of Advanced Braking Systems for Two Wheelers
Development and innovation in braking systems for two wheelers is anticipated to propel the growth of the antilock braking system market in the upcoming years. According to the report by the Transport Research Wing of India, two-wheelers accounted for the highest share in total road accidents (25%) in 2016. Therefore, an urgent need for safety systems such as antilock braking system is on the rise. Recent innovations, such as modular and scalable antilock braking system, are especially designed for braking characteristics of two wheelers and can be adapted in models ranging from the lower power segment to high-end sports bikes.
