The global market for heavy-duty vehicles is experiencing significant growth, with increasing demand in India and Eastern Europe being a major driving factor. This trend is particularly noteworthy for the commercial vehicle braking system industry, as the designs and types of braking systems can vary greatly depending on the vehicle's application and weight. Heavy-duty vehicles, such as trucks and buses, require robust and efficient braking systems to ensure safety and performance. The exponential growth in demand for heavy-duty vehicles in these regions is expected to have a positive impact on the commercial vehicle braking system market and the heavy-duty trucks market as a whole. Over the years, China, Japan, North American countries, and Western European countries have been the leading markets for heavy-duty vehicles. However, during the forecast period, India and Eastern European countries are projected to exhibit the most significant growth, making them key regions to watch for market expansion.
However, factors such as the increase in manufacturing activities and improvement in road infrastructure are expected to drive the demand for heavy-duty vehicles in India and Eastern European countries. In addition, India is witnessing faster economic growth, which positively correlates with the growth in demand for transportation and logistics. Thus, all these factors are expected to accelerate the demand for heavy-duty vehicle braking systems during the forecast period.
Technological advances in braking systems as groundwork for developing autonomous heavy-duty vehicles is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. The introduction of automated convoys using truck platooning systems is another step forward in autonomous trucking, wherein a group of self-driving trucks follows the course of the lead truck. In addition, the increasing safety regulations will drive the adoption of autonomous trucks in the future. For instance, six manufacturers of trucks from five countries participated in the European Truck platooning challenge. Trucks from DAF, Daimler, IVECO, Scania, MAN, and Volvo demonstrated the autonomous driving concept with their truck platooning technology.
However, autonomous trucks by vendors like Daimler and MAN from Germany, IVECO and DAF from Belgium, and Scania from Sweden have traveled across Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, and Germany and finally stopped at the Netherlands. All these trucks equipped with truck platooning systems are integrated with an advanced emergency braking system. The integration of these advanced braking technologies with the autonomous heavy-duty vehicle's braking system is expected to have a positive impact on the global market in the near future.
Additional costs associated with product recalls due to potential brake failure are a significant challenge hindering the market growth. The failure of the braking systems in a vehicle often results in a product recall by manufacturers. The process of recalling, repairing, or replacing defective parts is an added cost for vehicle manufacturers. Earlier, the complete cost due to the recall was borne by the vehicle manufacturer. The collaborative partnerships between vendors and suppliers across the value chain have resulted in them sharing the failure costs associated with product recalls. In recent years, there have been several recalls of heavy-duty vehicles, which are attributable to the issues associated with the failure of the braking systems.
For instance, one instance of a vehicle recall due to a brake issue is that from Mack Trucks, which recalled about 7,600 trucks across various models such as Mack Metroliner, Trident, Titan, Granite, and Superliner trucks. Therefore, such recalls of heavy-duty vehicles due to braking system issues will prove to be a significant challenge for the global market during the forecast period.
