Global Railway Brake Pads Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032

The global Railway Brake Pads market size is expected to reach $ 2099 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 4.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

Railway brake pads are an integral part of the disc braking system. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake pads press against the running disc in order to stop its motion and brake the vehicle. The brake pads are essentially made of a material that possesses high co-efficient of friction. Increase in demand for efficient braking during high speeds has led to the expansion of brake pad market.

Regional perspective, Europe and China play important roles in production of railway brake pads. In 2019, they produced 65% of the global total production totally. Key players include Knorr-Bremse, Wabtec Corporation, Tianyishangjia New Material, Akebono Brake Industry, Bremskerl, Tribo, Puran Railway Braking, CRRC Qishuyan Institute, Escorts Group, Flertex, Frimatrail Frenoplast, Railway Star Fortune High-Tech, Masu Brakes, Huatie Tongda, Youcaitec Material; the revenue of top five manufacturers accounts about 85% of the total revenue in 2019.

As of 2019, composite brake pads segment dominates the market contributing more than 70% of the total consumption, while powder metallurgy brake pads seeding fast as a result of most adoption in high speed railway. railway brake pads are major applied in freight wagons, passenger wagons, high speed rail, locomotive, subway/light rail, in 2019, demand for a freight wagons occupied the largest market, with 50% market share.
