Regenerative Braking Systems Market Report 2025

The regenerative braking systems market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $7.59 billion in 2024 to $8.61 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the rise in electric vehicle sales, the expansion of the global automotive industry, increasing fuel prices, the growing preference for pure electric zero-emission vehicles, and rising disposable incomes.

The regenerative braking systems market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.09 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%. The growth can be driven by the rising demand for passenger cars and hybrid electric vehicles, stricter government regulations, incentives provided to encourage EV adoption, growing awareness of climate change, and increasing traffic congestion resulting from rapid urbanization. Key trends in the forecast period include the integration of advanced control systems, the adoption of regenerative braking in public transportation, the focus on lightweight and durable materials, expansion into emerging markets, and the implementation of innovative strategies for regenerative braking in electric vehicles.

The rising demand for energy-efficient transportation solutions is expected to drive the growth of the regenerative braking systems market in the future. Energy-efficient transportation systems, such as electric and hybrid vehicles, electric buses, and electric trains, consume less energy while traveling, helping to decrease fuel use and emissions. This surge in demand is fueled by growing environmental concerns and the increasing cost of fossil fuels. As awareness of climate change and air pollution expands, both individuals and governments are more motivated to find ways to reduce carbon emissions and minimize their environmental impact, resulting in a shift toward cleaner and more energy-efficient transportation options. Regenerative braking systems play a key role in these energy-efficient solutions by capturing and converting kinetic energy, typically lost as heat during braking, into electrical energy. For example, according to a report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) published in April 2023, global electric vehicles made up 14% of all new car sales in 2022, compared to 9% in 2021. Consequently, the growing demand for energy-efficient transportation is contributing to the expansion of the regenerative braking systems market.

Leading players in the regenerative braking systems market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as advanced energy recovery technology, to improve braking performance and energy regeneration. This technology is designed to capture and reuse energy lost during braking, improving vehicle efficiency. It helps save power, extend driving range, and reduce brake wear. For example, in September 2024, Cummins Inc., a U.S.-based manufacturing company, introduced the integrated brake chopper & resistor (iBCR), a new endurance braking system to enhance the safety and performance of commercial electric vehicles. This system integrated advanced energy recovery technology to optimize braking performance and allow for more efficient capture and reuse of braking energy.

In November 2022, Infineon Technologies AG, a semiconductor manufacturer based in Germany, entered a partnership with REE Automotive Ltd., an Israeli company specializing in electric vehicle technology. The collaboration aims to incorporate advanced power semiconductors and microcontrollers into REE's modular EV platforms, which will enhance regenerative braking, vehicle control, and overall energy efficiency. REE Automotive develops modular electric vehicle platforms, in-wheel motor technology, and drive-by-wire systems for electric and autonomous vehicles.

Regenerative braking systems are a braking technology utilized in vehicles that transform kinetic energy (motion energy) into electrical energy when braking. Unlike traditional braking systems, which rely on friction to stop the vehicle and release energy as heat, regenerative braking captures some of the energy and stores it in the vehicle's battery for future use. These systems enhance energy efficiency, increase the driving range of electric vehicles, and reduce the wear on conventional braking parts.

Key components of regenerative braking systems include the battery, motor, electronic control unit (ECU), and flywheel. During braking, the battery stores the electrical energy generated from the vehicle’s kinetic energy. These systems are found in various types of propulsion vehicles, such as battery electric vehicles (BEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), which are used in passenger cars (PC), light commercial vehicles (CV), and heavy commercial vehicles (HCV).
