세계의 자동차용 디스크 브레이크 시장 예측(-2032년) : 유형별, 재료별, 차량 유형별, 기술별, 판매 채널별, 용도별, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Automotive Disc Brake Market is accounted for $13.11 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $22.46 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period. An automotive disc brake is a crucial vehicle braking system that uses calipers to squeeze pairs of brake pads against a rotating disc, or rotor, to create friction and slow the wheel's rotation. Found commonly in modern cars, disc brakes offer superior stopping power, heat dissipation, and performance under various conditions compared to drum brakes. They enhance vehicle safety, particularly in high-speed or emergency braking situations, by ensuring consistent and reliable deceleration.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing adoption of luxury vehicles

Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) help enhance warehouse efficiency by automating material handling and reducing human intervention. The growing adoption of e-commerce is further fueling the need for automated storage systems to ensure faster order fulfillment. Additionally, industries like automotive and healthcare are investing in VLMs to streamline inventory management and improve space utilization. Technological advancements, such as AI-driven inventory tracking and IoT integration, are making VLMs smarter and more effective.

Restraint:

Higher cost compared to drum brakes

Businesses need to invest in specialized infrastructure and software, which may be expensive, especially for small enterprises. Additionally, training employees to operate and maintain VLMs requires resources, further adding to operational costs. Some organizations may hesitate to deploy automated storage solutions due to budget constraints or uncertain return on investment. Integration with existing warehouse management systems can also be technically challenging, leading to implementation delays. While long-term benefits are promising, overcoming these financial hurdles remains a significant barrier to widespread adoption.

Opportunity:

Growing demand for enhanced vehicle performance

VLMs help minimize repetitive lifting, bending, and stretching, reducing physical strain on workers. Automated storage and retrieval systems also enhance accuracy, preventing errors that could lead to workplace accidents. With strict regulatory standards and safety guidelines, businesses are investing in solutions like VLMs to create safer work environments. Additionally, ergonomic designs improve overall efficiency by allowing workers to retrieve items with minimal effort. As workplace safety continues to be a focus, the adoption of VLMs is expected to increase across industries.

Threat:

Stringent emission norms for brake dust

Operators need to understand system protocols, troubleshooting techniques, and safety measures for smooth operations. Inadequate training may lead to errors, technical failures, or inefficient material retrieval, affecting overall productivity. Additionally, keeping employees updated on software upgrades and advanced functionalities can be time-consuming. Companies must invest in continuous education programs to help workers adapt to technological changes. Without proper training, businesses may face operational disruptions, limiting the effectiveness of VLMs.

Covid-19 Impact

The pandemic led to significant shifts in warehouse automation trends, accelerating the adoption of VLMs as companies sought contactless operations. With supply chain disruptions, businesses prioritized efficient inventory management systems to reduce labor dependency. Social distancing requirements further encouraged automation, as companies needed to minimize human interactions in warehouses. While initial disruptions affected installation schedules, the post-pandemic landscape saw an increased demand for automated storage solutions.

The floating caliper segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The floating caliper segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, due to rising demand in industries requiring temperature-controlled storage. Sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and chemicals rely on refrigerated VLMs to maintain product integrity. Increased regulations on perishable goods storage have further driven investments in advanced temperature-controlled systems. Technological advancements in refrigeration systems are improving energy efficiency, making refrigerated VLMs more cost-effective.

The front disc brakes segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the front disc brakes segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, due to increased demand for rapid order fulfilment. Online shopping has surged, prompting companies to invest in automated storage solutions to speed up processing and delivery times. VLMs help retailers maximize storage space while maintaining real-time inventory visibility. The need for streamlined logistics and faster warehouse operations has pushed e-commerce firms toward adopting automated storage technologies.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share due to the booming manufacturing and e-commerce industries. Countries like China, Japan, and India are heavily investing in warehouse automation to improve logistics and supply chain efficiency. Strong government initiatives supporting smart warehouses and digital transformation drive the adoption of VLMs. Additionally, the growing presence of multinational corporations expanding their operations in Asia Pacific has fueled market growth.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, owing to the increasing focus on supply chain optimization. The U.S. and Canada are witnessing rapid advancements in warehouse automation, with businesses emphasizing improved efficiency and productivity. E-commerce giants like Amazon are investing heavily in VLMs to streamline operations and enhance fulfilment speed. Additionally, innovations in AI, robotics, and IoT integration are making automated storage solutions more accessible.
