The Automotive Anti Lock Braking System And Electronic Stability Control Market size is estimated at USD 60.97 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 91.51 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.46% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
In 2022, some 85 million motor vehicles were produced worldwide. In 2022, China emerged as the global leader in passenger car production, manufacturing approximately 23.84 million vehicles alongside 3.19 million commercial vehicles, solidifying its position as the foremost producer of passenger cars worldwide.
Over the long term, the increasing acceptance of ABS systems is the growing focus on safety and the potential reduction in road-accident-related deaths. Nearly 3,300 people die every day due to road crashes, and about 9/10th of the casualties occur in middle and low-income countries that have less than half of the world's total vehicles.
The automotive anti-lock brake system market is expected to show a high growth rate as these systems are starting to be used extensively in entry-level two-wheelers. Most two-wheelers in the developed markets are high-end vehicles with safety features similar to the standard. However, in emerging markets, two-wheelers are the cheapest and entry-level vehicles. Increased adoption of such safety systems in passenger vehicles is expected to boost the market during the forecast period.
However, Asia-Pacific is projected to become the key automotive anti-lock braking system market. During the forecast period, Japan, India, and China are the major automotive manufacturing hubs.
Due to the rising number of motor vehicles worldwide, there has been a significant increase in road accidents globally. For instance,
A new workshop equipped with a fully automated production line has been constructed to facilitate this project. Itelma LLC is also licensed to manufacture ABS and ESP systems locally. Notably, the entire project is commercially driven, with no reliance on subsidies or government funds. The production capacity aims to achieve an annual output of 850,000 units of domestic ABS and ESP systems, with the potential for expansion to 1.2 million units.
The automotive anti-lock braking system market is primarily driven by the growing demand for vehicle safety and control systems in automobiles, such as anti-lock brakes (ABS). Also, strict regulations dictating safety standards and the launch of various programs highlighting the importance of vehicle safety have fuelled market expansion.
All new passenger cars must be equipped with ABS since 2004 in Europe. The United States took nearly a decade to mandate ABS in all new passenger cars. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) mandated ABS in conjunction with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) under the provisions of the March 2007 Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 126.
The increasing safety standards in the global automotive industry are driving developing countries to follow their developed counterparts, where new passenger cars are sold with ABS as a standard feature. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) in India notified that ABS is mandatory for all new passenger cars and two-wheelers. In 2022, nearly 92% of the passenger cars sold had been equipped with ABS, owing to the compulsory ABS rule in countries like Japan and Brazil.
Considering the strict rules and regulations implemented by the governments of almost all the countries will drive the market in the future.
The increasing rate of accidents and the continuous efforts of governments worldwide to reduce the number of casualties is a significant driver for the anti-lock braking systems market.
Asia-Pacific is one of the fastest-growing markets globally. The increasing demand for the region's anti-lock braking system (ABS) is supported by increased road safety rules, ensuring all new vehicles are equipped with ABS. For instance,
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) promotes anti-lock brakes in the manufacturing process of motorcycles in the United States. The NTSB does not have the right to create laws, so it aims to persuade the NHTSA, an organization responsible for introducing and enforcing road safety rules. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that motorcycles with anti-lock brakes have a 31% lower crash rate than bikes without the feature.
The European Union parliament mandated that anti-lock braking systems be the standard equipment for motorcycles built in 2016. The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety reported that 8.9% of registered motorcycles were required to have anti-lock brake systems in 2017. This number has increased steadily since 2002, when anti-lock brake technology was considered standard equipment on only 0.2% of motorcycles.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) market is anticipated to grow during the forecast period. Developed and developing countries are making the anti-lock braking system (ABS) mandatory for four-wheelers and two-wheelers to reduce the number of casualties.
Major players, such as Robert Bosch GmbH, Autoliv Inc., Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbH, DENSO Corporation, and ZF Friedrichshafen AG, dominate the automotive anti-lock braking system market.
The companies are strategically investing, making acquisitions, and entering into partnerships in key technologies. Also, almost all passenger vehicles have an anti-lock braking system, driving market growth.
