Global Air Brake Systems Market by Type, Component, Rolling Stock, Vehicle Type and Region - Forecast to 2028 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Air Brake System Market by Type (Disc, Drum), Component (Compressor, Governor, Tank, Air Dryer, Foot Valve, Brake Chamber, Slack Adjuster), Rolling Stock, Vehicle Type (Rigid Body, Heavy-Duty, Semi-Trailer, Bus) and Region - Forecast to 2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global air brake system market is set to expand from its 2023 value of USD 3.1 billion to USD 3.4 billion by 2028, achieving a commendable CAGR of 2.2% within this period. This progression is underpinned by the upsurge in stringent regulations governing automotive active safety, a surge in commercial vehicle production, and the integration of cutting-edge braking technologies into air brake systems, collectively stoking the demand. Pioneering manufacturers shaping the air brake system landscape encompass Knorr-Bremse AG, Meritor, Inc., Haldex, ZF Friedrichshafen AG, and Wabtec Corporation.

The study's comprehensive segmentation unveils various facets, including component categorization encompassing compressor, governor, storage tank, air dryer, foot valve, brake chamber, and slack adjuster; vehicle types spanning rigid body, heavy-duty trucks, semi-trailers, and buses; brake types consisting of disc and drum; and regional divisions across North America, Asia Oceania, Europe, and RoW. Further distinctions delve into the air brake system market for rolling stock, dissected by components like compressor, storage tank, driver's brake valve, brake cylinder, and brake pipe, as well as construction and mining trucks, segmented by compressor, governor, storage tank, air dryer, foot valve, brake chamber, and slack adjuster.

Air Disc brake is estimated to be the fastest growing air brake system type

The disc brake segment is estimated to grow fastest during the forecast period. The primary factor driving the demand for air disc brakes is the rising focus on safety and stopping distance reduction mandates. For instance, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) implemented stopping distance regulations to decrease the overall fatality rate for large trucks. There are stopping distance regulations for various vehicle configurations (three-axle, two-axle, and multi-axle) along with loaded and unloaded commercial vehicles. The regulation implemented in August 2013 stated that the stopping distance for unloaded three-axle trucks should be 235 feet, and for loaded three-axle trucks should be 310 feet.

Additionally, because of the increase in population, there is a high demand for intracity and intercity transfers at low cost, which is estimated to drive the air brake system market in railways and some high-speed trains. Further, most air brake manufacturers are focusing on developing advanced air disc brakes to increase the overall efficiency and performance of brake systems. For instance, in October 2019, Meritor, Inc. announced the launch of the lightweight, single-piston EX+T LS air disc brake. This advanced braking solution was designed for linehaul and trailer applications. The EX+ LS air disc brake was developed with reasonable taper wear control; the new air disc brake was designed and validated to the same taper wear criteria as a twin-piston brake. All these factors would spur the growth of air disc brakes in the future.
