The global market for Automotive ABS and ESC was estimated to be worth US$ 7257 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 4197 million by 2031 with a CAGR of -8.6% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Automotive ABS and ESC cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
In 2024, global sales of automotive ABS and ESC systems will exceed 70 million units, with an average price of less than US$100 per unit.The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is an active automotive safety technology. Its core function is to electronically control the braking force during braking to prevent the wheels from completely locking due to excessive braking. This prevents the wheels from rolling and sliding, maintaining optimal friction between the wheels and the road surface. This maximizes wheel adhesion and achieves a balance between controlled steering and minimal braking distance.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is an upgraded version of ABS that combines the Traction Control System (TCS) and Yaw Moment Control (AYC). ESC monitors vehicle operating conditions in real time and adjusts braking force and engine torque as needed to change the vehicle's yaw moment, ensuring lateral stability and enhancing driving safety, comfort, and maneuverability.
Global braking systems are rapidly evolving from traditional mechanical braking to electronic and intelligent systems. In the passenger car market, hydraulic-mechanical brakes have been largely replaced by ABS and ESC systems. ESC, in particular, has seen penetration rates in major markets like Europe, the US, Japan, and China exceed 85%-95% since 2020, reaching saturation. At the same time, with the accelerating trend toward electrification and intelligent technology, EHB (Electro-Hydraulic Brake) technology is rapidly gaining ground, particularly the more integrated One-Box solution, which has seen large-scale deployment in premium European and American brands starting in 2021 and in emerging markets like China from 2022-2024. The One-Box integrates electric power steering, pressure regulation, and ESC control into a single module, replacing traditional vacuum boosters while providing enhanced support for energy recovery, autonomous driving, and more advanced chassis integration. According to data from international market research institutions, by 2024, EHB systems will have been installed in over 20 million new passenger cars worldwide, reaching a penetration rate of nearly 30%. This penetration rate is expected to exceed 50% in rapidly growing electric vehicle sales regions such as Europe and China. In the future, two-box braking will gradually be replaced by one-box braking, and EHB will become the core braking technology for electric and smart vehicles.
In the medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicle market, pneumatic braking systems remain the mainstream. Europe and the United States mandated ESC on certain models as early as 2012, driving the upgrade from ABS to pneumatic ESC. Emerging markets such as China and India accelerated implementation after 2020. Despite regulations driving rapid upgrades for key models, a significant inventory of pneumatic ABS systems remains in the overall market. In contrast, the application of EHB or EMB systems in medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles remains limited, with demonstration applications limited to new energy light trucks, urban buses, and enclosed environments such as ports, mining areas, and logistics parks. In the short term, medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles will continue to rely on pneumatic brake systems, making EHB difficult to achieve widespread penetration. Electro-Mechanical Braking (EMB) is widely considered a disruptive technology in the medium to long term. Due to the larger installation space and flexible chassis layout of commercial vehicles, EMB technology will mature faster in this area than in passenger cars.
Overall, hydraulic and pneumatic brakes maintain a clear division of labor in global brake system applications. Hydraulic brakes are primarily used in passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, where EHB offers a natural fit, facilitating electronic and intelligent control. Pneumatic brakes, on the other hand, are the absolute mainstream in medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, and their technological evolution will continue to focus on EBS + ESC in the short term. From 2020 to 2025, the global brake system market will exhibit two parallel paths: the passenger car market will complete the transition from ESC adoption to EHB (especially One-Box), while the medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicle market will rely on regulatory upgrades driven by pneumatic systems. In the medium and long term, EMB is expected to become a common technology reserve across the next generation of passenger cars and commercial vehicles. In particular, with the trend of autonomous driving and high-end intelligent chassis integration, the industrialization process will be further accelerated.
