    Market Highlights

    "The global friction materials market is likely to grow at a promising CAGR of 5% in the long run to reach US$ 57 Million by 2028.

    The friction material is used to increase or decrease friction, as well as to slow or halt the system. The friction material is mostly used in the braking system, more specifically in the brake linings and pads. The friction material is used to provide friction in situations where slow or restricted movement is required. Friction is the force that is a resistor between two contacts to keep items from moving. All three substance types—liquid, solid, and gas—can cause friction. Liquid friction is the term for friction that occurs between fluids.
