Air Brake System Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Air Brake System Market is estimated to reach USD 7.01 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 5.97%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Air Brake System Market, including market size and trends, product mix, applications, and supplier analysis. An air brake, sometimes referred to as a compressed air brake system, is a kind of friction brake used on automobiles where pressurised air is delivered to a piston. The car stops as a result of the additional pressure it puts on the brake pads. Large heavy vehicles often use air brakes, especially if they have several trailers that need to be connected to the brake system.
- In September 2022: Knorr-Bremse AG unveiled the upgraded SYNACT Braking system with Active Calliper Release (ACR) in September 2022. The most recent pneumatic version is designed with lighter brake callipers and backing plates and increased braking torque in comparison to the previous generation. A spring-loaded mechanism is used by the optional Active Calliper Release (ACR) to release the pads from the disc and realign the calliper. This is intended to lessen brake pad wear and cut fuel consumption by up to 1%.
- January 2021: Dell and Navitas Semiconductor collaborated to create cutting-edge GaN-based charging technology. The two companies have teamed up to develop new uses for gallium nitride (GaN).
Market Opportunities and Challenges
The market for air brake systems is expanding due to factors like rising railway and high-speed train manufacturing, as well as increased sales and production of commercial vehicles, off-highway trucks, and railways. Furthermore, it is anticipated that laws pertaining to weight carrying capacity and requirements for the installation of air brakes would generate a lot of prospects for market growth and expansion, which will increase the size of the market for air brake systems. There are prospects for market expansion when sophisticated systems and sensors are integrated into air brake systems. Air brake systems can function better and be safer when they have features like autonomous braking, real-time monitoring, and predictive maintenance. Partnerships between automakers and suppliers of air braking systems can result in the creation of novel and tailored solutions. Collaborations with IT companies can also make it easier to include cutting-edge technologies into air braking systems.
One of the main concerns with air brake systems is their higher cost; nevertheless, with small vehicles that need small hydraulic braking systems, this method has little effect. However, for large vehicles like buses, semi-trucks, and heavy duty trucks, where air brake systems fall short of conventional brake systems, cost is a crucial consideration. An additional issue with the air brake system is an excessive air leakage rate. The rate at which the air system creates pressure is crucial because the system loses pressure quickly. A reservoir that loses pressure too quickly can cause strain on the compressor and, in situations where stopping power is most needed, may disappear altogether. When the vehicle's air brakes are engaged, this circumstance results in a high rate of air leakage. If the leakage rate exceeds 2 psi/minute, manufacturers will probably focus more on finding a solution to this present issue.
