Brakes are the main component of every vehicle that stops or slows down the vehicles. Increase in production of vehicles leads to increase in requirement for brake components, thereby driving the growth of the market. In addition, more use of brakes reduces the brake shoe size, power and leads to quick change thus resulting in the growth of the brake friction market. 

With increase in traffic congestion, use of brakes increases while driving. More use of breaks hampers the brake pads and reduces the breaking power. When the braking power reduces, there is a high demand for change of brake pads of brake shoes. Therefore, changing the brake increases the demand for brakes pads, thereby resulting in the growth of the brake friction market. 

Moreover, improving life of brakes friction products to influence the demand for replacement unit and advancements in brake technologies to eradicate the use of friction material hamper the growth of the brake friction market.
