Commenting on the report, an analyst from the research team said: The latest trend gaining momentum in the market is growing trend of low and zero copper eco-friction brake pad material to enhance the braking system. OEMs have been trying to enhance the braking systems of their vehicles to ensure the safety of passengers.

For instance, OEMs such as Federal-Mogul has developed a brake pad with zero copper or low copper content. Even though copper is a vital ingredient in brake pad formulations, the presence of it in brake pads is being regulated as it is harmful to the environment. The concerned authorities are trying to gradually eliminate copper completely from the brake pads.

One of the major drivers for this market is improvement in the design and manufacturing techniques of drum brakes. In 2009, federal authorities in the US made the minimum stopping distance regulation for heavy tractors stricter. It led to the speculation that the truck industry will experience a shift from drum brakes to disc brakes as disc brakes provide better stopping capability.
