Carbon Brush Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Type (Graphite Brush, Electrographic Graphite Brush, Silver Graphite Brush, Metal Graphite Brush, Others), By End-User Industry (Automotive, Household, Electrical, Security and Defence, Petrochemical, Energy, Others), By Application (Motors, Generators/Alternators, Grounding Devices, Signal & Power Transmission, Others) and Region Forecast 2020-2031

Carbon Brush market size was valued at US$ 2,310.5 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 2.1% from 2024-2030. Carbon Brush is a small block of carbon utilized to transfer current between the immovable and moving components of an electric motor and generator. The copper wires used to make carbon brushes facilitate the flow of electrical current through the loop that rotates objects. The ability of these brushes to withstand high temperatures is another crucial aspect of their utility as a product. In the market, the signal and power transmission segments hold the largest market. In windmills, metallurgy, and elevators, carbon brushes are frequently employed for signal and power. The increasing consumer interest in passenger vehicles armed with smart technologies in the automotive industry is driving the market. The development of worldwide carbon brush is expected to be significantly influenced by the adoption of electrical hand tools in many machine-based industries.

Moreover, the ongoing research with the implementation of the Coulomb-viscous friction force model as a prediction model to prevent the carbon brush wearing capacity under different currents, pressure, salt concentrations, and temperatures has opened huge opportunities for its use in different conditions and industries. But COVID-19 pandemic led to a disrupted supply chain, labor shortage, and inconsistent manufacturing activity, hampering the carbon brush severely. However, the product demand is anticipated to increase in the forecasted years owing to the increased demand for automobiles and electronics for the increasing population, urbanization, developing infrastructure, and increasing key players in the market.

Key Developments:

• In February 2020, Helwig Carbon Products, Inc., acquired J. Ream Manufacturing, Inc., a brush holder product line. Additionally, clients will have the choice to upgrade to newer models that incorporate Helwig Carbon's innovations, such as constant force springs, brush wear indications, and rapid disconnects.
• In March 2019, Aupac, a Japan-based carbon brush manufacturer, set up a new production facility in Pune, India.
