Brake Pads: Largest aftermarket segment

According to OICA publications, passenger cars constituted the largest market segment in terms of vehicle production, sales, and parc in 2015. Stopping regulations are becoming increasingly stringent; for instance, in the U.K., the stopping distance for a car running at a speed of 20 mph is 12 meters, which doubles with every 10 mph increase in the driving speed.

This has resulted in disc brakes becoming a key component in passenger cars, and has subsequently boosted the demand for disc brake components, primarily brake pads.
