India Brake Pads, Shoes and Linings Market

India Brake Pads, Shoes and Linings Market Overview:

The India brake pads, shoes and linings market size reached USD 1.00 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1.52 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.80% during 2025-2033. The India brake pads, shoes and linings market share is expanding, driven by the increasing production of commercial vehicles that experience higher wear and tear due to heavy usage, along with the rising awareness about the importance of well-maintained braking systems.

India Brake Pads, Shoes and Linings Market Trends:

Increasing vehicle production and sales

The rising vehicle production and sales are fueling the India brake pads, shoes and linings market growth. With the high middle-class population and increasing disposable incomes, more people are buying vehicles, driving the demand for essential braking components. According to industry reports, in 2024, the passenger vehicle (PV) segment, including cars, utility vehicles (UVs), and vans, experienced a rise of 4.2%, reaching 4.3 Million units, supported by sales of sports utility vehicles (SUVs). Automakers are ramping up output to satisfy this demand, resulting in a direct rise in the demand for brake components. As more vehicles enter the market, the need for aftermarket replacement parts increases since brake pads, shoes and linings wear out over time and must be replaced on a regular basis for safety. Commercial vehicles, which have greater wear and tear owing to frequent use, are driving the demand. The introduction of electric vehicles (EVs) is also having a favorable impact on the market, as manufacturers prioritize regenerative braking systems while still requiring high-quality brake pads, shoes and linings. Furthermore, the increased use of disc brakes in two-wheelers and passenger cars is leading to market expansion, as they require more frequent replacements than traditional drum brakes.

Rising emphasis on road safety

The growing focus on road safety is offering a favorable India brake pads, shoes and linings market outlook. With rising road accidents, both government regulations and user attitudes are shifting towards better vehicle safety measures. Stricter norms are enabling manufacturers to produce high-quality braking components that improve vehicle stopping power and reduce accidents. Regular vehicle inspections and safety awareness campaigns are also encouraging drivers to replace worn-out brake pads, shoes, and linings on time. In November 2024, the Citizen Consumer and Civic Action Group (CAG) organized a road safety awareness initiative in Chennai to emphasize the increasing road deaths in Tamil Nadu and promote safer driving habits among young people in India. Fleet operators and commercial vehicle owners are prioritizing better braking systems to ensure passenger and cargo safety, further driving the demand. Additionally, the growing number of high-speed vehicles on highways makes advanced braking systems necessary, creating the need for durable and efficient brake components. As more people opt for periodic vehicle maintenance and road safety standards continue to tighten, the demand for reliable brake pads, shoes, and linings is increasing in India.
