KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 Impact

Increased Demand to Accelerate Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with electromagnetic brakes experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The spike in CAGR is attributable to the electromagnetic brakes market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

With the onset of the pandemic and lockdowns in place, the electromagnetic brakes market will expand as industries and manufacturers seek to expand their production due to the high demand for consumer goods. Increased demand for automobiles post the pandemic with geographical expansion in developed and developing countries will bring exponential growth in automobile industry giants' purchase of the brakes. As accessibility improves due to the receding pandemic in all parts of the world, many key players are set to invest huge stakes owing to economic recovery and the boom in the industrial markets.

LATEST TRENDS

Rising Population to Boost Market Growth

As population increases in developing countries, the electromagnetic brakes market will see an uptick in demand due to high industrial and manufacturing needs. Urbanizing masses in these countries will increase demand for the automobile industry as companies seek to provide consumers with efficient mechanisms. Furthermore, usage of these brakes in trains and elevators is something to keep track of in the near future with rapid infrastructure development in developing countries. Machinery in hospitals that use these brakes will see higher demand as the uncertainty of the pandemic prevails.

• According to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), nearly 79 million vehicles were produced globally in 2022, and the integration of electromagnetic brakes into advanced safety systems is expected to cover over 33% of passenger vehicles by 2027, enhancing road safety.

• Based on International Energy Agency (IEA) data, urban rail networks are expanding by 12% annually, and almost 41% of new metro trains in Asia-Pacific adopted electromagnetic braking systems in 2023, reflecting rapid infrastructure modernization.
