Market Definition:
The passenger car brake caliper is a critical component of the vehicle's braking system. Its primary function is to house the brake pads and pistons, and upon actuation of the brake pedal, to exert force on the brake pads, pressing them against the brake rotor. This friction between the pads and the rotor slows down or stops the rotation of the wheels, thereby decelerating or halting the vehicle. Brake calipers are typically made of materials like cast iron or aluminum and are designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures generated during braking. The market for passenger car brake calipers encompasses original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that install these components in new vehicles and the aftermarket, which caters to the replacement and repair of brake calipers in existing vehicles.
