Friction materials are composite materials with complex multi-ingredient combinations, resulting in intricate formulations. Their formulation is influenced by manufacturing parameters such as mixture sequence and duration, molding pressure, time, temperature, and heat treatment time.

Friction materials primarily include organic fibers like resin, rubber, and aramid; sintered metals such as steel, brass, and copper; and ceramics. Nowadays, environmental concerns have shifted focus towards using alternative fibers in friction products. Manufacturers are increasingly eyeing on replacing asbestos and other carcinogenic materials with eco-friendly alternatives in composite friction materials.

According to some key players in friction material industry, the shift towards environmentally friendly friction materials has inspired significant research into utilizing natural waste as reinforcement. The current trend in friction material industry is to use animal or agricultural waste as raw materials for high-performance friction composites. Agricultural fibers, derived from waste, are attractive particularly due to their low cost, high resistance, availability, environmental friendliness, and durability. These fibers have proven effective in manufacturing composite materials for friction products.

The growing number of vehicles and congestion in road traffic are driving the demand for global friction material market. The Asia Pacific region, particularly, is experiencing rapid growth in the automotive and transportation sectors, with China and India leading this growth in demand for friction materials
