Trailer Surge Brake Market

Trailer Surge Brake Market Overview

The global trailer surge brake market is expected to be valued at US$ 5.9 Bn in 2022, and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 3% to be valued at US$ 8 Bn from 2022 to 2032.

Trailer surge brakes are the kind of hydraulic brakes that are actuated by using the momentum of the trailer and the weight of the trailer. These brakes do not need any external power supply for their work, unlike the electric brakes, and also, they do not require any controller for the proper actuation of the brakes. Due to this significant advantage, the demand for trailer surge brake systems has remained intact in spite of several advanced brakes available today.

 These brakes can be used for any kind of trailer and do not require an electrical connection with the toe vehicles simplifying the connection of the trailer with the tow vehicles. So the trailer surge brake systems still hold a considerable portion of the trailer surge brake market share in the auomotive sector.

What are the Major Factors Driving the Growth of the Trailer Surge Brake Market?

The actuation without any power supply and the use of the own momentum of the trailer to power the braking assembly are some of the features of such types of brakes that are going to drive the trailer surge brake market.

Also, the hydraulic surge brakes are operated by the laws of physics, which can never fail, so the failure susceptibility of these brakes is relatively lower.

The reliability of the operation is likely to increase the sales of trailer surge brakes by the various end users.

The usage of hydraulic trailer surge brakes also provides a simple assembly of the trailer with towing vehicle and are relatively lower cost than the electric brakes, which might prove as contributing factor for improvement in the sales of trailer surge brakes.

While there are numerous advantages of these brake trailer surge brakes that imparts higher growth in the sales of trailer surge, some factors might play a pivotal role in hindering the growth of the trailer surge brake market share.

The hydraulic surge brake could incur more maintenance charges and require timely repairs, while on the other hand, electric brakes are nearly maintenance-free and could show effective working without any repair requirement.

This disadvantage might distract customers and limit the sales of trailer surge brakes, and the customers could prefer electric brakes over it. Also, electric brakes provide more braking power than electric surge brakes and are more effective for instant stoppage and scenarios where the requirement of more brake power is required for the trailers.

These two factors will be the major restraints for the increase in demand for trailer surge brake market during the forecast years and ahead.

Today, the availability of electric brakes and air brakes is hampering the sales of trailer surge brakes. The increasing number of manufacturers of electric brakes also compels the manufacturers to provide the electric brakes with the least cost possible due to the effective slack in the prices of electric brakes resulting in a diversion of the customers and reducing demand for trailer surge brakes
