North America Brake System Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The North America brake system market size attained a value of USD 11.35 Billion in 2024. The market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.10% between 2025 and 2034, to reach a value of USD 16.96 Billion by 2034.

Key Trends in the Market

A brake system is the combination of automotive components which resist the motion of a vehicle, bringing it to a halt. A brake system consists of two curved brake shoes containing a friction material lining which produces friction in order to slow down the vehicle. A static surface is applied to a vehicle’s moving surface, causing friction and subsequently converting kinetic energy to heat energy, slowing down the vehicle movement.

• Increasing incorporation of disc brake technology in commercial vehicles in North America to bolster the safety of emergency trucks, fuel tankers, tour buses, and semi-tractors, among others, is fuelling the North America brake system market growth.
• Emergence of new usage truck models, such as truck-as-a-service, along with truck leasing strategies, is impacting the growth of this market positively. The rising demand for light trucks to facilitate domestic commodity transportation services is further heightening the incorporation of brake systems.
• Efforts by law enforcement agencies and inspection services to examine vehicles and reduce road mishaps and accidents are expected to bolster the demand for brake systems to augment vehicular safety. In addition, the growing focus on anti-lock braking systems are crucial trends in the North America brake system market.
• The increasing application of brake systems in construction equipment is adding to the market revenue. Over the forecast period, the increasing expenditure towards construction and use of larger construction equipment are expected to heighten the demand for brake systems for construction equipment.
