As passenger car ownership continues to rise across Asia and Europe, aftermarket demand has grown noticeably for brake pads that cover both ceramic and semi-metallic materials.

The commercial vehicle segment remains a core part of the brake pad business, with dedicated references for heavy trucks from Benz and MAN. These pads are built to withstand sustained high loads, long downhill runs and frequent stop-start cycles that are typical of freight and construction work.

Brake pad manufacturers are expanding their ranges for European passenger cars, with new references covering Audi, BMW, Benz, Cadillac, Chevrolet and Buick applications. These vehicles often require tighter tolerances and more consistent friction behavior across a wide temperature range, prompting suppliers to invest in stricter production controls and better raw material selection.
