Overview of the global automotive brake rotors market
The systems or components or parts suppliers are heavily investing in energy-efficient technologies to boost the performance of the vehicle. The automakers are trying to optimize its application by leveraging their in-house capabilities. The adoption rate of advanced materials with improved properties is also increasing due to the rising competition among the automakers. Light-weight materials such as aluminum, titanium, carbon ceramics, and magnesium have high thermal conductivity. Automakers are using these materials in the automotive manufacturing and production processes to enhance the fuel efficiency. Research analysis on the global automotive brake rotors market identifies that the increasing application of lightweight, energy-efficient technologies in automobiles will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. The demand for aluminum and carbon composites is increasing in the manufacturing of automotive brakes and rotors and superior performance brakes. The preference for brake rotors made of advanced materials will continue to increase due to their properties such as lightweight and compact shape. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that in terms of units, this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 3% by 2021.
The development of advanced braking systems allows its integration with other driver assisted technologies to enhance the overall safety. The rising consumer preferences and regulatory mandates are encouraging automakers to offer braking systems like ABS and EBD as a standard stock fitment. This in turn, is resulting in the development of advanced braking technologies. The popularity of ceramic brake rotor is increasing due to its light-weight, stable, and water-resistant properties. The emergence of carbon ceramics brake rotors is one of the key trends that will boost growth in the automotive brake rotors market because they offer optimum braking performance for sports, super sports, and heavy-duty vehicles.
