Automotive pedals are controls in vehicles operated by the driver's feet, facilitating the management of acceleration, braking, and clutch engagement (in manual transmissions). Positioned on the driver's side floor, these essential components play a pivotal role in governing the vehicle's speed and movement.
The primary types of automotive pedals include the accelerator, brake, and clutch. In an automobile, the accelerator is a pedal or device employed to regulate the speed. Automotive accelerator pedals control a vehicle's speed by managing the flow of fuel to the engine. These pedals are crafted from diverse materials, including steel, aluminum, magnesium, plastic, among others, and find applications in various vehicles, such as passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
The automotive pedals market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides automotive pedals market statistics, including automotive pedals industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a automotive pedals market share, detailed automotive pedals market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the automotive pedals industry. This automotive pedals market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The automotive pedals market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.41 billion in 2024 to $2.54 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to automotive industry growth, increasing vehicle production, consumer preferences for manual transmission, replacement and aftermarket sales, globalization of automotive supply chains.
The automotive pedals market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.02 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to shift towards electric and autonomous vehicles, integration of advanced sensor technologies, focus on lightweight materials, ergonomic design for driver comfort, customization and aesthetic preferences. Major trends in the forecast period include development of smart pedals with sensor integration, introduction of brake-by-wire systems, focus on lightweight and ergonomic pedal designs, adoption of adjustable pedal systems, integration of biometric sensors in accelerator pedals.
The anticipated rise in demand for commercial vehicles is set to drive the growth of the automotive pedals market. Commercial vehicles, primarily used for business purposes such as transporting goods or passengers for profit, rely on automotive pedals as crucial components for controlling acceleration, braking, and clutch functions, ensuring safe and efficient operation. For instance, new commercial vehicle registrations in the European Union (EU) witnessed an 11.2% increase for vans (730,969), a 20% rise for trucks (179,508), and a 15% growth for buses (14,781) in the first half of 2023, compared to the corresponding period in 2022. This surge in commercial vehicle demand is a key factor propelling the growth of the automotive pedals market.
The increasing incidence of road accidents is expected to propel the growth of the automotive pedals market in the future. Road accidents are defined as unexpected events or collisions on roadways involving vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, or animals that result in damage, injury, or fatalities. Factors contributing to the rise in road accidents include distracted driving, speeding, poor road conditions, and adverse weather. Advanced automotive pedal systems, which feature enhanced braking responsiveness and integrated safety sensors, can help reduce the risk of accidents by improving driver control in critical situations. For example, in June 2022, the World Health Organization, a US-based specialized health agency, reported that nearly 1.3 million people die each year from road traffic injuries. Thus, the increase in road accidents is driving the growth of the automotive pedals market.
Key players in the automotive pedals market are concentrating on developing innovative products, such as brake pedal position sensors, to enhance vehicle safety and improve driver control. A brake pedal position sensor is a device that tracks the position and movement of the brake pedal, transmitting real-time data to the vehicle's control systems. For example, in October 2024, Melexis, a Belgium-based microelectronics engineering firm, launched the MLX90424. This brake pedal position sensor includes an integrated wake-up function, boosting automotive safety and efficiency. Designed to deliver precise linear displacement measurements of up to 30 mm, it can be powered directly by a 12V battery, eliminating the need for additional regulators, which simplifies automotive system designs and lowers component costs. The MLX90424 combines two position-sensing integrated circuits (ICs) and a wake-up switch into a single compact package, streamlining the assembly process compared to traditional systems that necessitate separate sensors and switches.
In January 2022, Faurecia SE, a France-based automotive supplier, acquired Hella KGaA Hueck & Co. for an undisclosed amount, strengthening its position in the automotive industry and expanding its presence in key growth areas such as electrification and self-driving technology. Hella KGaA Hueck & Co. is a Germany-based manufacturer of automotive pedals.
