Summary

The goal of this report is to provide a detailed and comprehensive multi-client study of the global market for friction products and materials in light vehicles, medium and heavy-duty trucks, aircraft, and other industrial applications as well as potential business opportunities in the future. Greater detail, however, is provided for North America. The report covers both OE (original equipment) markets and the aftermarket. Its objectives include thorough coverage of the underlying economic issues driving the friction products and materials business, as well as assessments of new and potential products that companies are developing. Social, political, and regulatory issues are also covered, as are international markets. Another important objective is to provide realistic market data and forecasts for friction products and materials.

Scope Of Study

This report contains:

Details on the North American friction materials and products market, broken down by ground transportation, aircraft/aerospace, and industrial sectors
The history of the market, as well as detailed five-year forecasts with CAGRs through 2012.
Analysis of important technological developments
A detailed patent analysis
Profiles of all the top players within the industry

Report Highlights

The North American friction products and materials market was worth $6.9 billion in 2006. By the end of 2007, the market will be worth slightly less, taking a dip to $6.8 billion. By the end of 2012, the market will be worth 7.7 billion with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.6%. Ground transportation will maintain the highest share of the market throughout the forecast period. By the end of 2006 the market was worth $3.9 billion, 57.3% of the market. By 2012, this share will drop slightly to 55.8%. The aircraft and aerospace sectors of the market remain the fastest growing, with a 4.5% CAGR throughout the forecast period.
