What is Driving Demand for Air Brake?

The demand for safety features such as air brakes and other braking systems is on the rise due to the increasing number of worldwide road accidents. According to ASIRT (Association of Safe International Road Travel), nearly 1.3 million people die each year in road accidents globally, with an average of 3.2 demises per day. Whereas, traffic accidents are the leading cause of deaths and account for 2.2% of all deaths worldwide.

People are more worried about these conditions and the demand for safety features likely to be integrated into their vehicles. The current progressions in automotive safety developments and technology in aerodynamic design have aided to exploit more engine power competently and helped end-users to achieve more speeds. However, Driving automobiles at high speeds demands operative vehicle stability. These manufacturers are mostly focused on the improvement of vehicles that are fast and safe.

Air Brakes have become a crucial and significant part of any vehicle to certify safety, which befits highly essentials when the demand for speed is increasing steadily. However, the development of the automotive industry is expected to drive the air brake potentials along with the increasing concerns over resulting government pressures and safety. Significantly turning up the automotive manufacturer towards the introduction of higher braking technology content, thereby driving the global demand for air brakes.

Rising Transportations is Likely to Augment Air Brake Sales

The rising cost of automobiles has enhanced the disposition towards on-demand services that assist users to register their bookings at minor costs through websites or mobile applications. Swelling usage of the car rental and sharing services by transportations is also anticipated to strengthen the overall growth over the forecast period.

Whereas, regulatory authorities worldwide have initiated to make their urban public transport system more bearable and fuel efficient with the use of e-buses. The rise in transportation is due to strong economic activities and positive monetary position in many developed and developing regions such as China and India during the forecast period.

The increasing stringency of transportations in several countries has obliged key players to adopt braking technology. Thus, the rising of such public transportation and adoption of new air brakes into heavy vehicles to augment the worldwide air brake sales.
