The global market value of friction products was approximately 19 billion U.S. dollars in 2018. Five years later, by 2023, this figure is forecast to increase to around 24 billion U.S. dollars. The two main types of friction materials are dry friction materials (such as non-asbestos organic, semi-metallic, low-metallic and asbestos friction materials), and wet-friction materials such as paper.
