Brake Caliper Market Report 2026

The brake caliper market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $12.11 billion in 2025 to $12.59 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to automotive production growth, disc brake adoption, safety regulation enforcement, demand for vehicle performance, traditional braking systems.

The brake caliper market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.31 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electric vehicle penetration, demand for low-emission braking, advanced material adoption, growth of autonomous vehicles, performance vehicle demand. Major trends in the forecast period include shift toward lightweight brake components, adoption of multi-piston calipers, rising demand from electric vehicles, growth of performance braking systems, expansion of aftermarket sales.

Growth in passenger vehicle sales is expected to propel the growth of the brake caliper market going forward. Passenger vehicles refer to self-propelled vehicles with a capacity of no more than ten people, not including the driver. The brake caliper, which applies pressure to the brake pads to slow or stop the vehicle, is an essential part of the car's braking system. Brake calipers provide these vehicles with dependable braking performance. For instance, in March 2023, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, a Belgium-based lobbying and standards group of the automobile industry, passenger car registrations in the EU increased by 11.5% from 719,783 units in 2022 to 802,763 units in 2023. Therefore, growth in passenger vehicles is driving the growth of the brake caliper market.

Major companies operating in the brake caliper market are adopting strategic investments to expand their production facilities. These investments aim to increase production capacity, reduce manufacturing time, and improve the quality of brake calipers. Companies are investing in new manufacturing facilities, advanced equipment, and cutting-edge technologies to meet the growing demand. For instance, in March 2023, Robert Bosch GmbH, a Germany-based technology and engineering company, announced an investment of US$283.2 million for the development of its Aguascalientes, Mexico, facility. The investment, revealed at the plant's 30th anniversary, includes roughly US$84 million for the manufacture of electronic parking brakes (EPB) for major carmakers such as BMW and Nissan, the creation of 400 new jobs, and supports production of advanced brake systems such as iBooster, ABS, and ESP. The facility employs over 1,100 workers dedicated to these systems.

In March 2025, ZF Friedrichshafen AG, a Germany-based automotive technology company, formed a partnership with Brembo to develop advanced brake-by-wire systems. The collaboration aims to enhance vehicle safety, performance, and efficiency by integrating electronic braking technologies, accelerating the adoption of next-generation braking solutions, and driving innovation in the global automotive braking systems market. Brembo is an Italian manufacturer specializing in high-performance braking components for automotive and motorsport applications.
