Air Brake System Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

An air brake, also known as compressed air brake system, refers to a type of friction brake that is designed for vehicles in which the compressed air is applied on a piston. It further applies pressure to the brake pads, and causes the vehicle to stop. Air brakes are extensively utilized in large heavy vehicles, especially those having multiple trailers that must be linked into the brake system.

The rapid urbanization across the globe acts as one of the major factor driving the growth of global air brake system market. The surge in the in sales and production of commercial vehicles and off-highway trucks, and integration of the system in heavy as well as commercial vehicles to apply more massive brake effort accelerate the market growth. The use of air brake system in wider application in parking brakes, and service brakes, and increased railways and high-speed trains further influence the market. Additionally, rise in vehicle fleet, increase in concerns regarding passenger safety and expansion of automotive sector positively affect the global air brake system market.

Drivers

• The Rapid Urbanization Across the Globe

Opportunities

• Safety is One of the Major Driving Factor for Advanced Vehicles

In the moving vehicle, once the brake pedal is pressed the pressure is applied to the frictional components near the wheels which then press against each other’s to stop the vehicle. This traditional braking system has some drawbacks, if there is a leak in the braking system which results in partial or complete loss of the braking fluid, the efficiency of the brake drum is significantly reduce or it will completely loss. Air compressor brake systems resolve this traditional issue by offering air by offering special fluid to deliver pressure to the braking components. This air braking system reduce the chance of brake failure due to the avoidance of leaks in the braking system. Nowadays use of air brake system is being made mandatory under many governmental regulation for vehicles exceeding a certain size or carrying passengers for commercial purpose

• Reliability of Air Braking Systems as Compared to Hydraulic Brakes

Air brake systems operates in a different principle with triple valve systems mechanism. In a conventional braking system, the brake is always kept in its own position by default and the brake is applied when brake fluid is compressed. Triple valve system air brake helps activation of brake which is activated state by default and brake released when the vehicle moves in to motion. As a result if there is a leak or even if the compression mechanism totally fails, the brake revert back to their default activated position and the vehicle will stop moving. So in the vehicle system air brake system plays an important role for reliability of the vehicle safety concern.

Restraint/Challenge

• Expensive and Excessive Air Leakage Rate

Higher cost is one of the major concern for air brake system, however this system doesn’t make much difference in small vehicle that requires small hydraulic braking system. On the other hand, cost parameter is a significant factor for large vehicle including heavy duty trucks, semi-trailer and buses, where air brake systems lose out to traditional brake systems. Excessive air leakage rate is another concern for air brake system. Air system loses pressure at a high rate, which lends importance to the rate at which the system builds pressure. A reservoir that losses pressure too quickly not only put strains on the compressor as the same time it can also leave without adequate stopping power when it require the most power. This situation create a large air leakage rate when air brake systems are applied in the vehicle. Leakage rate more than 2 psi/minute indicates that manufactures are likely to give more attention to resolve this current challenge.
