Growth Opportunities in the North American Passenger Vehicle Replacement Brakes Aftermarket


Manufacturers’ Competitive Edge in an Already Mature Segment will Hinge on Innovation, Partnerships, and Sustainable Solutions

This study covers the class 1 –3 (passenger cars and light commercial vehicles) brake component aftermarket in North America (the United States of America and Canada), in terms of both volume (235.5 million units) and value ($3.79 billion). The analysis includes unit shipment and revenue by automotive brake subcategories, such as brake pads, brake rotors, brake shoes, brake drums, brake calipers, and remanufactured brake calipers.

The research discusses replacement rates and average manufacturer-level prices and presents forecasts across different product segments, covering both the independent aftermarket (IAM) and original equipment supplier (OES) distribution channels. It also covers the share of distribution channels held across various product subcategories, including the revenue share of distribution channel participants.

The base year for analysis is 2022 and the forecast period is from 2023 to 2029. In addition to market trends and profiles of key suppliers, industry growth opportunities tied to the emergence of alternative fuel vehicles (such as electric vehicles), sustainable manufacturing technologies, and the impact of escalating VIO figures are discussed.
