The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic conditions have severely affected every sector around the world. Whereas, the chemicals and materials sectors were moderately affected during the pandemic. This is primarily due to the uncut demand for chemicals for healthcare, life science, and cleaning agents. However, other elements of chemical and material sectors such as paints, industrial oil, construction materials are facing diminution in demand. Strict lockdown resulted in a nearly 50-60% reduction in supply for raw materials, which directly affected the manufacturing process. Further, halt on many end-use industries directly affected the chemical demand all around the world.
Friction Materials Market Overview
Market for friction material is projected to grow at CAGR of around 6.5% globally during forecast period. The growing number of vehicles and growing need for the friction material products for several industrial machinery are propelling the market growth. High maintenance and cost of the advanced friction materials are anticipated to hinder market growth.

Friction Materials Market Segment Overview
These friction materials have been gradually used in both heavy and light-duty vehicles. In vehicles, friction materials find the applications in brakes, clutches, and gears, amongst various others. Friction brakes are also used to decelerate vehicle by transforming kinetic energy of vehicle to heat, via friction, and dispelling that heat to surroundings.
Among all materials used, sintered metal materials are the well-suited for heavy-duty applications, included aircraft braking systems and the mining vehicle transporters. The ceramic material clutches can endure considerable heat, and can operate without fading at the temperatures over 550°C due to recurrent engagement and disengagement of clutch. The heat resistance property makes them ideal for the racing applications and is used in brake technology in numerous high-end automobiles.
Demand for the ceramic friction material in manufacturing of clutch is meaningfully rising due to properties in the recent times. This is mainly due to growing automotive demand and the production prospects in the Asia-Pacific and Africa regions over past few years.
Friction Materials Regional Overview
Asia-Pacific is anticipated to dominate global market due to the vast automotive and industrial sectors in Indian and China, coupled with continuous investments done in region to advance construction and automotive sector throughout the years. The rising demand for buses, industrial machines, trucks, trains, and robots in India and China increases demand for friction materials in several applications.
Friction materials control engine-power transmission in the construction and industrial machinery and brake and clutch parts. According to Organisation Internationale the des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), the China has been leading global market in production and sales of automobiles in current years. This, along with developments in automobile production in countries such as Japan and ASEAN countries, is further driving demand for friction materials for the both electric and combustion vehicles in Asia-Pacific region. The China’s share in global vehicle production is over 29%, in 2019.
Friction materials are used to control moving parts of robots, and swelling demand for high-temperature-resistant brakes is anticipated to drive market for friction materials over the coming years in the region.
