Description

The global Electromagnetic Brakes market size is expected to reach $ 950 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 2.6% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

In 2024, global electromagnetic brake production reached 20580.6 K units, with an average selling price of US$36 per unit, a production capacity of approximately 21664 K units, and a gross profit margin of 36.2%.

Electromagnetic brakes are also called Electro-mechanical Brakes or EM brakes. Electromagnetic brake is a mechanical part that stops or decelerates moving parts in a machine. Commonly known as brakes. The brake is mainly composed of a brake frame, brake parts and a control device. Some brakes are also equipped with an automatic adjustment of the brake clearance. In order to reduce the braking torque and structure size, the brake is usually installed on the high-speed shaft of the equipment, but large equipment with high safety requirements (such as mine hoists, elevators, etc.) should be installed on the low-speed shaft near the working part of the equipment on.

The upstream raw materials for electromagnetic brakes primarily include: mild steel/cast iron for the magnetic circuit and structural components, aluminum alloy housings and heat sinks; enameled copper (or aluminum) wire and bobbin/epoxy potting compound for the coils; alloy steel for springs, hubs, and splines; and permanent magnet materials (such as ferrite, NdFeB, or SmCo) for latching brakes.

Electromagnetic brakes have a wide range of downstream applications: in the mechanical field, they are used for rapid positioning, emergency stopping and holding of machine tools/servo axes; in material handling, they provide holding/parking brakes and emergency brakes for forklifts, AGVs and conveyor lines; robots and automation scenarios (joints, Z-axis screws, lightweight servos) emphasize low-inertia, low-backlash power-off self-locking brakes; elevators/escalators are used to prevent upward overspeed and non-commanded movement, and meet safety requirements such as EN81/ASME; medical equipment (MRI/CT/surgical robots, patient beds) require quietness, precise positioning and high reliability; other applications include gates, rolling doors and access control.

1. Advancements in Industrial Automation

The surge in automation across manufacturing and industrial sectors necessitates precise and reliable braking solutions. Electromagnetic brakes offer quick response times and integration capabilities with automated systems, making them ideal for applications in robotics, material handling, and packaging machinery.

2. Emphasis on Safety and Regulatory Compliance

Stringent safety regulations and standards are compelling manufacturers to adopt advanced braking systems. Electromagnetic brakes provide enhanced safety features, including fail-safe mechanisms and real-time diagnostics, aligning with regulatory requirements.

3. Expansion into Emerging Markets

Regions like Asia-Pacific are witnessing rapid industrialization and urbanization, leading to increased demand for advanced braking solutions. Government initiatives promoting industrial automation adoption and infrastructure development further bolster market growth in these areas.

4. Miniaturization and Lightweight Design

There's a growing trend towards compact and lightweight electromagnetic brakes to fit into confined spaces without compromising performance. This is particularly relevant for applications in robotics and medical devices.

5. Increased competition

The competition among vendors will increase during the forecast period. Vendors will compete to deliver competitive advantages in the market on the basis of pricing, user-friendly interfaces, value-added benefits, and service portfolios. During the forecast period, we expect this competition to intensify with an increase in product extensions.

6. Continuous innovation

Technological innovations have an important role in driving the growth of the market. To sustain in the competitive market, vendors should develop new ideas and technologies and stay up-to-date with the advanced technologies.
