Two-wheeler Braking System Market Size, By Type, By Propulsion, By Sales Channel Analysis, Share, Growth Forecast, 2025 - 2034

Two-wheeler Braking System Market Size

The global two-wheeler braking system market was valued at USD 4.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5 % between 2025 and 2034. Globally, there emerges a global initiative aimed at understanding how adequate safety measures can be incorporated in two-wheelers with the relevant authorities, regulatory bodies and policymakers setting these standards and issuing these requirements to prevent accidents from occurring and minimize injuries from any accidents that occur.  
 

For instance, in most countries, CSA regulations state that two-wheelers with larger than 50cc engines must be fitted with Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS), which assist the rider or driver in operating vehicles more effectively. These policies are put in place to ensure there is an advanced development in brake stability and emergency scenarios where braking is a critical factor, such as low traction.

Such has had beneficial effects on the adoption rates of novel brake systems and, thus, has aided the two-wheeler braking system market. The manufacturers have also been productive in making their products more effective and cheaper, thus satisfying the expectations of the relevant bodies, which has further enhanced the growth of the market.
 

In addition, the demand for last mile service delivery surged dramatically, which stems from growing Asia Pacific two-wheeler vehicles market, as a result the demand for braking systems is still on the rise. Based on GMI, the value of Last Mile Delivery Market adjusted more than USD 175.3 billion in 2023, which is expected to have CAGR more than 6% between 2024 and 2032, creating more target market for system braking.
 

Another driver of the two-wheeler braking system market is the development of maximum premium motorcycles and scooters. With an increase in disposable incomes, especially in developing countries, there is a change in consumption patterns whereby customers are migrating to high-performance two-wheelers with safety features like ABS and CBS.
 

Most premium motorcycles have advanced alloys with the primary emphasis on the quality of the braking system to ensure better rider and bike safety. Due to the increasing urbanization and traffic, there is also a movement to scooters with good braking systems for better control. This trend is also supporting manufacturers implement advanced braking solutions in various segments of the two-wheeler. 
 

Two-wheeler Braking System Market Trends

Players in the market are entering into joint ventures and collaborations in order to obtain shared knowledge and resources for the development of cutting-edge braking technologies. This has enabled cost-sharing of R&D, which is essential in meeting rigid safety requirements and ensuring that the end products remain economical.
 

The collaborations assist also in penetrating regional markets, which facilitates placement in the emerging economies. By bringing together technical and manufacturing resources, it becomes easier to be within target launch dates for the introduction of innovative solutions such as ABS and regenerative braking systems. These partnerships are crucial for the ability to compete in the growing safety-oriented two wheelers market globally.
 

In May 2024, for instance, the Indian manufacturer of braking systems, Brakes India, partnered with ADVICS, a premium brake system manufacturer of Japanese Aisin Group, in order to enter the Indian light vehicle market. This partnership aims to leverage its local presence in India and customer relations through the technological and quality know-how of ADVICS. Its purpose is to meet the increasing local market requirements for better braking systems, for example, in hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles, autonomous driving, etc.
 

One of the major issues in the two-wheeler braking system market is the pricing of such products. One would consider an ABS braking system as an advanced braking system, which has a high price range due to the inclusion of components such as sensors, electronic control units, and actuators. These advanced systems at times raise the cost of production.
 

For two-wheeler budget segments, especially in economies that are still developing, this additional cost makes these systems expensive for the manufacturers and consumers. Price is a significant issue, but in a segment, consumers are sure to expect a high inject in terms of perimeter safety features. Thus, effectively lowering the development cost creates a need for changing the cost of the systems to lower the retail cost.
