The future of braking: Is the market ready for brake-by-wire?
Our latest report offers an in-depth analysis of how the automotive industry is gearing up to adopt the most advanced braking technology: brake-by-wire systems, which offer tremendous potential to improve driving safety and comfort. It covers key progress in technology development, major markets, key suppliers working on this technology, and automakers who are set to introduce this technology in their next-generation vehicles.
The global automotive brake actuation market is currently dominated by hydraulic brakes, followed by electrohydraulic brakes (EHBs). Together, these two types accounted for 99.9% of all fitments in 2024. However, the market share of hydraulic brakes is declining as automakers prefer to equip their new vehicles with EHBs.
The automotive industry is also gearing up to adopt more advanced brake-by-wire systems, which include EHBs integrated with e-pedals, electromechanical brakes (EMBs), and hybrid brakes that offer the benefits of both EHBs and EMBs to deliver enhanced safety and driving comfort.
Our latest report provides a comprehensive analysis of the automotive sector's transition to the advanced brake-by-wire technologies, highlighting technological advancements, key markets, major suppliers, and automakers planning to implement these systems in future vehicles.
