Automotive Brake Wheel Cylinder Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Single Piston and Double Piston), By Application Type (Passenger Cars and Commercial Vehicles) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Automotive brake wheel cylinder is an integral part of hydraulic drum brake system. The brake wheel cylinder is located at the top of each wheel. This cylinder performs the significant function of transporting the brake shoe into contact by applying force on the shoes for stopping the vehicle. Generally, the automotive brake wheel cylinder is associated with the shoe by a small rod which is in the shape of a bird's beak. Moreover, the automotive brake wheel cylinder involves two pistons that are situated on both sides of the cylinder. Each piston is attached to the brake shoe by a shaft and is sealed with a rubber. Earlier, the automotive brake wheel cylinders were usually made of cast iron. However, cast iron is more likely to rust, therefore aluminium automotive brake wheel cylinders dominate the market. Furthermore, there two types of automotive brake wheel cylinders available in the market, including brake wheel cylinders with integrated pressure regulators and those without any integrated pressure regulators. These cylinders are a vital element of the drum brakes and require replacement after a definite period of time in order to maintain adequate brake performance.

Market Segmentation:

Globally, the Automotive Brake Wheel Cylinder market is segmented by type, by application type, and by geographic coverage. Based on type, the market is further segmented into single piston cylinders and double piston cylinders. Single piston cylinders comprises of a single piston which generates force in only one direction. Double piston cylinders use two pistons facing each other and generates a force that acts in two different directions. The double piston cylinders holds the major share in the global market owing to their ease of design, installation and emissions. Double-piston wheel cylinders use common cylinders along with the pistons and lip seals at each end. These cylinders usually comprises of a coil spring which is located between the lip seals. When there is less or no hydraulic pressure, the expander helps to grip the sealing lip on the cylinder bore. The application type is further segmented into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The passenger cars segment holds the largest share in the global market. The increasing urbanization, improvement in the standards of living and rise in the purchasing power of people are the primary factors for the increasing demand for passenger cars across the globe. Also, the development of advanced technology, increasing trend of light weight vehicles are compelling the manufacturers to manufacture reliable and light weight automotive components and to fulfil the changing demands of the customers.
