Earlier Report Observations

The Italian market for brakes and servo-brakes contracted sharply from 1 260 million USD in 2018 to 508 million USD in 2021. The initial period was characterized by strict adherence to UNECE safety regulations for brake systems and the influence of global Italian leaders in brake and tire manufacturing, which supported a high level of production and export activity.

Market volume rebounded to 822 million USD in 2022, coinciding with the introduction of the EU General Safety Regulation (GSR) that mandated advanced driver-assistance systems, including automatic braking, for new vehicle models from July 2022. This regulatory shift prompted manufacturers to adapt their brake systems, stimulating production and technological updates.

In 2023 and 2024, the market stabilized around 680-690 million USD. The period saw significant technological advancements, such as ZF's launch of an innovative electromechanical brake system, and the full implementation of mandatory ADAS for all newly registered vehicles from July 2024. Concurrently, a shift in industry focus towards electric powertrains and signs of economic slowing in the Italian automotive components sector introduced additional dynamics affecting brake system demand and production.
