The global automotive park brake lever (handbrake) industry is projected to reach USD 582.1 million in 2024, with a strong growth forecast at a CAGR of 10.1% during the forecast period, leading to an estimated market value of USD 1,523.6 million by 2034.
The handbrake is mainly used to prevent vehicles from rolling when parked or stopped, making it especially popular in hilly areas. It also serves as a hill-hold assist for uphill starts and can act as an emergency brake if the main braking system fails. This versatility enhances its appeal to both manufacturers and consumers.
In addition to being useful for parking on inclines, the handbrake is used at traffic lights and acts as a safety feature, preventing sudden vehicle movement in the event of a rear-end collision. This added safety feature boosts its credibility among consumers, further driving demand.
