Electric vehicle (EV) production is rising continuously in Asia Pacific countries, which is a major factor driving the adoption of new braking systems. Many electric cars utilize regenerative and mechanical braking systems in combination, as these systems assist in saving energy. In addition to energy-saving, regenerative braking technology enhances the life of friction brake systems. In December 2019, Brembo focused on developing advanced brakes suitable for electric vehicles (EVs). Similarly, in August 2021, Continental AG resumed its focus on restructuring disc brakes for EVs. The company has created a minimalist brake caliper that removes all extra material to decrease the weight to a bare minimum. Moreover, it is exploring the possibility of lightweight aluminum brake components with the potential to handle electric vehicles and reduce braking demands with lower price and weight than brakes that are in use currently. Additionally, disc brake manufacturing has surged with the rising demand for electric vehicles, which highlights the need for automotive brake shims.
With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Asia Pacific automotive brake shims market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
