At present, these brake discs are limited to supercars and luxury passenger cars, where the price point of the vehicle does not bother the buyers. Moreover, vehicle manufacturers offer ceramic brakes as an optional feature to customers at an additional cost. The segment is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 2.7% over the forecast period. However, the ceramic brake disc aftermarket is complex and is characterized by a limited number of players operating in the U.S. ceramic brake disc market. The ceramic brake discs have a considerably longer lifespan as compared to standard cast iron brake discs and can be refurbished. Therefore, it reduces the product penetration for aftermarket distributors and suppliers.
