Passenger Car and Commercial Vehicle ABS and ESC Research:CAGR of -10.29% during the forecast period

Passenger Car and Commercial Vehicle ABS and ESC Product Introduction

Passenger Car and Commercial Vehicle ABS and ESC refer to the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) used in automobiles. The Antilock Braking System (ABS) is an active automotive safety technology. Its core function is to electronically control the braking force during braking to prevent the wheels from completely locking due to excessive braking. This prevents the wheels from rolling and sliding, maintaining optimal friction between the wheels and the road surface. This ensures maximum adhesion and achieves a balance between controlled steering and minimal braking distance. The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is an upgraded version of ABS that incorporates the Traction Control System (TCS) and Yaw Moment Control (AYC). ESC monitors vehicle operating conditions in real time and adjusts braking force and engine torque as needed to change the vehicle's yaw moment, ensuring lateral stability and enhancing driving safety, comfort, and maneuverability.

Industry Trends:

Intelligent and Integrated Development: ABS and ESC are being deeply integrated with AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking), ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) to form a highly intelligent, comprehensive vehicle dynamic control platform. With the rapid growth of new energy vehicles, hydraulic ABS/ESC is evolving towards electronic control and brake-by-wire to meet the demands of electric vehicles for rapid response and energy recovery.

Increasing Penetration in the Commercial Vehicle Market: In medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses, with declining costs and regulatory support, the installation rate of pneumatic ABS and ESC is rapidly increasing, making them a key technology for reducing traffic accidents.

Localization and Cost Optimization: In the Chinese market, local parts manufacturers are entering the market at an accelerated pace, product costs are falling, and local suppliers are emerging strongly. Leveraging rapid response, cost advantages, and localized services, they are breaking the monopoly of foreign companies, entering the supply chain of domestic brands, and continuously expanding their market share.

Brake-by-wire (One-Box Solution) is becoming the mainstream choice: China is the most competitive market for new energy vehicles globally. To maximize range, demand for one-box brake-by-wire systems (such as IPB), which effectively collaborate with regenerative braking and achieve higher energy recovery efficiency, has surged, leading to a rapid increase in penetration. Nearly all mid- to high-end electric vehicles from mainstream domestic brands and emerging brands now feature one-box systems as standard, reshaping the landscape of ESC technology (with ESC functionality integrated into the system).

Restraint:

Core Technology Barriers and External Dependence: High-end chips rely on imports, while core chips for ECUs (electronic control units), MCUs (microcontroller units), and pressure sensor chips remain heavily reliant on international giants such as Infineon and Texas Instruments. Fundamental algorithm and software R&D accumulation is insufficient. While local manufacturers have achieved breakthroughs in application and integration, they still lag behind international leaders in the fundamental, original algorithms and software tool chains.

Intense Price Competition: With the increasing number of participants in the Chinese market, OEMs are significantly squeezing prices from component suppliers, potentially shrinking profit margins and constraining R&D investment. While the rise of local manufacturers has broken the monopoly, it has also accelerated the overall price decline in the industry, further compressing profit margins.

Strict Certification Cycles and Customer Loyalty: Even if a product is successfully developed, entering the OEM supply chain still requires a 2-4 years' testing, verification, and calibration cycle. This is not only time-consuming and fraught with uncertainty, but also poses a significant barrier to new entrants. Furthermore, once OEMs select a supplier, they are extremely reluctant to assume the potential risks and quality liabilities associated with switching.

Specific challenges in commercial vehicle market promotion: The commercial vehicle market is extremely cost-sensitive, and vehicle owners are less willing to pay for enhanced safety features (such as EBS). This market still relies heavily on regulatory mandates, and market education and adoption are slower than for passenger vehicles. While regulations are gradually driving adoption, some commercial vehicles and low-priced passenger vehicles still have insufficient installation rates, limiting full market penetration.

Industry Development Drivers:

Continuous Policy and Regulatory Drive and Standard Upgrades: China has mandated ABS for all newly produced passenger and commercial vehicles, and ESC has also become a mandatory standard feature for M1 passenger cars (9 seats or fewer). Furthermore, the China New Car Assessment Program (C-NCAP) continues to evolve, incorporating ESC-based ADAS features such as AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) into its five-star rating requirements. This is forcing OEMs to not only include ESC but also ensure that it offers superior performance and supports advanced features.

Increase in Vehicle Ownership and Sales: As the world's largest auto market, China's passenger and commercial vehicle ownership continues to grow, particularly with the rapid adoption of new energy vehicles (NEVs), driving market expansion for ABS and ESC systems. New energy vehicles have a higher demand for brake energy recovery and electronic control, requiring deep integration with brake-by-wire and regenerative braking, driving the accelerated adoption of next-generation ABS/ESC systems.

Integration of Intelligent Driving and ADAS: The development of autonomous driving and intelligent connected vehicles requires a higher level of vehicle dynamic control. ABS and ESC, as core chassis control systems, are integrated with features like AEB and ACC, further increasing market demand.

Rising Consumer Safety Awareness and Changing Market Demand: With the increasing popularity of automotive knowledge, Chinese consumers are placing increasing emphasis on vehicle safety features. ESC, AEB, and other features have become important considerations for many consumers, especially young families, when purchasing a car.
