Brake-by-Wire System Market Report 2026

The brake-by-wire system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.49 billion in 2025 to $2.72 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancement of electronic control units, early adoption in premium vehicles, braking system electrification, drive-by-wire development, vehicle safety innovation.

The brake-by-wire system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.96 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to autonomous vehicle deployment, electric vehicle platform growth, software-defined vehicles, demand for faster braking response, regulatory push for advanced safety. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of electronic braking architectures, growth of electro-mechanical brakes, integration with autonomous driving systems, demand for redundant safety systems, expansion in ev platforms.

The growing adoption of electric vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the brake-by-wire system market going forward. Electric vehicles (EVs) are automobiles operated by electric motors that run on electricity stored in batteries or other energy storage technologies. With growing environmental concerns, expanding EV infrastructure, and government incentives, there is a push towards EV adoption. Brake-by-wire systems use electronic controls for precise and responsive braking, enhancing vehicle handling and stability by eliminating hydraulic components. They reduce weight and improve overall efficiency and driving range. For instance, in 2024, according to the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, electric car sales grew by an additional 3.5 million units in 2024 compared with the previous year. Therefore, the growing adoption of electric vehicles is driving the brake-by-wire system market.

Key players in the brake-by-wire system market are advancing braking technology with innovations such as electro-mechanical brake systems, which aim to enhance vehicle safety and braking efficiency. These systems replace traditional hydraulic components with electric actuators and mechanical linkages, using electronic controls to achieve precise braking while reducing weight and improving efficiency. For instance, in November 2023, ZF Friedrichshafen AG, a Germany-based technology company specializing in advanced mobility products, introduced its 'dry' brake-by-wire system. This system enhances safety by duplicating all connections and systems for data transmission, processing, and motor power supply. It reduces stopping distances by up to 9 meters during automatic emergency braking at 100 km/h and offers up to 17% additional range for electric vehicles due to improved brake energy recuperation. Additionally, the dry brake-by-wire system minimizes particle emissions from brake wear by limiting residual drag torques and eliminating the need for brake fluid changes, thus reducing maintenance needs.

In July 2023, Kongsberg Automotive (KA), a Norway-based technology provider for the vehicle industry, acquired a 20% stake in Chassis Autonomy for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition allows KA to offer unique technology to its customers and support the integration of fail-operational steer-by-wire solutions into their vehicles, preparing them for autonomous driving. The deal strengthens the partnership between KA and Chassis Autonomy, which began in 2022. Chassis Autonomy, based in Sweden, designs and provides brake-by-wire systems for highly automated and autonomous vehicles.
