Brake Fluid - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

Brake fluid (Brake Fluid) is a specialized hydraulic fluid used in vehicle braking systems to transmit force from the brake pedal to the braking mechanism (such as brake pads or drums), enabling the vehicle to slow down or stop. Brake fluid is typically based on polyethylene glycol (PEG), glycol ethers, or silicone, featuring a high boiling point, low freezing point, and good corrosion resistance to ensure stable performance in high or low-temperature environments. Common types include DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1 (glycol ether-based) as well as DOT 5 (silicone-based), each suited to different vehicles based on their chemical composition and performance.

One critical property of brake fluid is its hygroscopic nature, meaning it can absorb moisture over time when exposed to air, which may lower its boiling point and lead to vapor lock (bubble formation), impairing braking efficiency. Therefore, brake fluid requires regular replacement, typically every 1-2 years or as recommended by the vehicle manual. It must also be compatible with the rubber and metal components of the braking system to prevent corrosion or damage. In the automotive industry, brake fluid is a safety-critical component, with its quality directly impacting driving safety. With the rise of electric vehicles and autonomous driving technologies, the demand for high-performance brake fluids is increasing, prompting manufacturers to develop more advanced formulations.
