Automotive Brake Systems Market Report 2026

The automotive brake systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $39.25 billion in 2025 to $42.13 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to vehicle safety regulation enforcement, adoption of abs systems, growth of passenger vehicles, conventional hydraulic braking, accident reduction initiatives.

The automotive brake systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $56.76 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to adas-driven braking demand, electrification of braking systems, autonomous vehicle development, demand for intelligent safety systems, regulatory safety mandates. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of advanced braking technologies, growth of electronic stability systems, rising demand for safety features, expansion of adas integration, shift toward brake-by-wire.

The growing demand for both passenger and commercial vehicles is anticipated to propel the automotive brake systems market. The rapid increase in disposable income among individuals in both developing and developed nations, along with the rising need for personal vehicles for daily commuting, has significantly contributed to the heightened demand for these vehicles. This surge in the demand for passenger and commercial vehicles is expected to enhance the utilization of automotive brake systems, which are essential components in vehicle manufacturing. For example, in January 2024, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, a UK-based trade association, reported that UK commercial vehicle (CV) production increased by 18.5% in 2023, with 120,357 vans, trucks, taxis, buses, and coaches produced on factory lines. Thus, the rising demand for passenger and commercial vehicles is projected to drive demand for automotive brake systems during the forecast period.

Major companies in the automotive brake systems market are concentrating on creating innovative solutions, such as next-generation electronic brake systems, to enhance vehicle safety, increase responsiveness, and optimize braking performance. A next-generation electronic brake system refers to an advanced braking technology that employs electronic controls and sensors to improve the safety and efficiency of a vehicle's braking mechanism. For example, in May 2023, Continental AG, a Germany-based automotive parts manufacturer, introduced the MK 120 ESC, a next-generation electronic brake system aimed at enhancing safety and efficiency in vehicles, particularly those designed for electric models. Initially implemented in Changan's Oshan X5 Plus and Uni-T, this system is about 5% lighter and 7% more compact than its predecessor, leading to energy savings and lower emissions. It also includes advanced cybersecurity features, such as an embedded hardware security module for secure key generation and supports over-the-air updates for ongoing enhancements.

In January 2025, Advik, an India-based automotive component manufacturer, acquired Powersports MTG for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Advik seeks to strengthen its automotive brake system portfolio by incorporating Powersports MTG’s advanced braking technologies and broadening its global presence in high-performance braking solutions. Powersports MTG is a Germany-based company specializing in the design and manufacture of braking systems for a range of automotive and powersports applications.
