Global Friction Shims Market is Expected to Reach US$ 1,443.4 Million by 2034, Growing at 7.2% CAGR | Fact.MR Report

Growing Adoption of Electric Vehicles and Renewable Energy Projects Boosting Demand for High-Performance Friction Shims


Rockville, MD , Dec. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, the global Friction Shims market is estimated to reach a valuation of US$ 720.2 million in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period of (2024 to 2034).

Thin friction shims are manufactured predominantly from stainless steel, aluminum, and copper to support improvements in friction, enhancements in grip, and structural stability in their respective mechanical assemblies. Thus, one of the key drivers that influence market growth is the rising adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles, which have growing requirements for lightweight and high-performance components to ensure efficiency and durability.

Friction shims provide real benefits related to torque transmittance and stability in highly thermally and mechanically strained EV powertrains and battery assemblies. Manufacturers focus on light material weight, including shims manufactured with aluminum and copper-based materials with a high strength-to-weight ratio, encouraged through government commitments to ambitious targets for emission reductions.

Another key driver in the market is the rapid growth of renewable energy projects, particularly within wind and solar fields. Friction shims are finding increasing applications in key components related to turbine assemblies, solar panel structures, and heavy machinery used in the installation process for renewable energy.
