Description

Frost & Sullivan's research service on the Class 4-8 truck brakes aftermarket in North America forecasts market size through to 2026; the base year is 2019. The study analyzes key medium- and heavy-duty (MD/HD) truck hydraulic and pneumatic brake components, including brake drums, brake shoes, brake rotors, and brake pads. Market forecast is derived from miles driven, usage patterns, replacement rate, and total vehicles in operation (VIO). The study breaks down the different brake components by unit shipment, revenue, distribution channel, and price. Competitive environment for each brake component is also examined, and the top competitors are listed.

The Class 4-8 truck brakes aftermarket in North America is mature, and the well-established participants have built strong relationships across all distribution channels and command more than 60% of the market in each brake component segment. The aftermarket is facing strong pricing pressure as the product is commoditized and the product differentiation is low. In addition, fleets are highly price sensitive, and this opens up opportunities for low-cost imported brake components that threaten well-established market participants’ offerings.

Pneumatic brake drums are expected to witness a decline over the forecast period due to the growing usage of pneumatic disc brakes in the front axle (enhanced performance and cost effectiveness are the key advantages they offer). However, pneumatic drum brakes will remain the standard choice in HD trucks over the forecast period. Hydraulic brake rotors are projected to be the leading brake component for class 4-6 trucks; they will be preferred over hydraulic brake drums.
