Moreover, the increasing use of heavy-duty vehicles is significantly driving growth in the automotive slack adjuster market. These vehicles require reliable, high-performance braking systems to handle heavy loads and long-haul routes. With the rise of industries such as logistics, construction, and mining, demand for trucks, trailers, and buses is growing, particularly in emerging economies.

Heavy-duty vehicles experience high brake wear, necessitating slack adjusters to maintain proper brake clearance and consistent braking efficiency. Automatic slack adjusters have become essential in these applications due to their ability to self-regulate, reducing manual adjustments and ensuring continuous safety compliance. Consequently, fleet operators and OEMs are increasingly investing in advanced slack adjusters, boosting market growth to meet the needs of a rising heavy-duty vehicle population worldwide.
