Automotive Drum Brake Market: Future market projections for forthcoming years

Drum brakes are radial brakes which make use of friction caused by two brake shoes pressing outward against a spinning friction surface called drum. While disc brakes are capable of offering better braking performance and are more common in modern automobiles, drum brakes are still used for quite a few applications. These brakes are often found on the real wheel of entry level cars to achieve cost savings. Some automobiles use a braking system which partially comprises drum brakes. They make use of the friction applied to metal drums which are attached to the car wheels for stopping or slowing the vehicle.

High cost of disc brakes and the increasing sales of commercial vehicles are the primary growth drivers of the global automotive drum brakes market. Though there are several advantages associated with disc brakes, the high cost involved in manufacturing and installing these brakes are pushing the original equipment manufacturers to equip automobiles in lower variants with drum brakes. Additionally, overall improvements in the manufacturing techniques and design of drum brakes are also fueling the market growth. A growing trend has been observed in the market of adding electric parking brakes to compact vehicles with drum brakes. For instance: Continental AG has developed a new braking system by combining drum brakes and electric parking brakes, which can be equipped easily in compact cars.
