ENGINE BRAKE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global engine brake market size was USD 0.79 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 1.23 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period.

A brake is used to slow down the motion by consuming the engine of the moving vehicle. It is mainly used to stop the moving vehicle, wheels, or axle. The process of slowing down the vehicle by stepping aside the accelerator and shifting the gear down instead of pressing the brake is called engine braking. This function works on the basis of the principle of friction. The brakes should not be loose or weak and should also not be too efficient, or it may cause accidents.

The engine brake market is expected to grow owing to the rising demand for automobiles in developing economies. There are several types of brakes available in the market, such as exhaust brakes and compression release brakes. The compression release brakes are also known as engine brakes. Various types of brake retarder systems are used in vehicle brakes. An engine compression brake includes the famous Jake Brake, or Jacobs Engine Brake, which involves the manipulation of the normal stroke cycle in the cylinder. An exhaust brake uses a flap that helps in closing the exhaust flow, and just turbochargers are downstream in the exhaust system. 

COVID 19 IMPACT

Shutdown of Repairing Centers Postponed Growth

The pandemic outbreak favored very few markets, and the automotive market was exceptional. The unexpected pandemic breakout hampered market growth. The automotive industry witnessed a significant downfall due to the shutdown of transportation and the market. The market shutdown affected the expected sales growth of the automotive industry. The population was not allowed to step outside, which reduced road transportation and the sales of auto beauty products. The demand for the product went low, coupled with the lower supply of the product, as the manufacturing industries were shut down during the pandemic. The modified or alloy wheels can be fitted in the repairing centers, which were shut down during the pandemic. These factors postponed the engine brake market growth. 

LATEST TRENDS

Launch of Brake by Wire System to Project Product Demand

The brake-by-wire is an advanced technology brake that helps in gaining weight reduction targets. This system reduces the mechanical linkages between the systems and swaps them with motors, actuators, and electric wires to enhance the response time and reduce the weight. Other brake assistance technologies, such as electronic traction control (ETC), electronic parking brake (EPB), electronic stability program (ESP), and antilock braking system (ABS), can be integrated into a brake-by-wire system, which eliminates the hardware required for such systems and lightens the weight of vehicles. In the upcoming years, this is anticipated to fuel the development of brake-by-wire technology. Additionally, the engine brake is expected to be adopted rapidly due to the car OEMs' greater focus on swapping out mechanical parts for small electrical components for better operating accuracy. Furthermore, it is anticipated that current advances will accelerate the penetration of brake-by-wire in the upcoming years.
