The vehicle retarder market was valued at $2.21 billion in 2022 and is estimated to reach $4.52 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.6% from 2023 to 2032.
Vehicle retarder is a supplementary braking system employed in heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks, buses, or commercial cars to either substitute or augment conventional brakes. The fundamental purpose of these systems is to reduce the speed of vehicles by dispersing their kinetic energy. Consequently, this improves the safety, flexibility, and steadiness of the automobile, particularly when driving downhill or on complicated roads.
The growth of the global vehicle retarder market is driven by rise in use of advanced braking systems for better efficiency & control. The adoption of cutting-edge vehicle retarders such as Scania's Retarder is gaining prominence among the leading companies of the market. This retarder equips the vehicles with cutting-edge ADR safety features, including the electronic braking system, anti-lock braking system, and a retarder, ensuring the utmost level of safety during the transportation of flammable liquids.
However, high initial cost of retarder systems and need for compatibility with existing vehicle systems and components hinder the expansion of this market. Contrarily, the retarder control unit, a recently developed integrated retarder system, presents a significant opportunity for market growth. By integrating the electronic control unit directly into the retarder, the retarder control unit enhances vehicle systems, saving space, efficiency. Moreover, its advanced monitoring capabilities promptly address any detected faults, ensuring safety and extending the service life of the system. This innovation supports the rising trend of leveraging technological advancements to encourage the adoption of retarder systems, particularly in electric and hybrid vehicles. These systems enable regenerative braking, thereby contributing to the market's expansion.
