Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global DOT5.1 Brake Fluid market size was valued at US$ 489 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 739 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 6.1% during review period.
In 2025, the global production of DOT 5.1 brake fluid was approximately 82,000 tons, with an average selling price of approximately US$5,800 per ton. The production capacity in 2025 was 106,000 tons, with an average gross profit margin of approximately 15-25%. DOT 5.1 brake fluid is a high-grade, fully synthetic brake fluid with high dry and wet boiling points and excellent low-temperature fluidity. It is suitable for high-performance, heavy-duty vehicles and vehicles equipped with ABS, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the braking system under various conditions. It utilizes advanced alcohol ether borate ester synthesis technology, preventing the formation of air bubbles and vapor bubbles, and providing rust prevention and protection for brake system components.
The upstream raw materials for DOT 5.1 brake fluid mainly include basic chemical raw materials such as ethylene oxide/propylene oxide, boric acid/borate esters, and various high-performance additives (such as corrosion inhibitors, antioxidants, pH stabilizers, and dyes). Its downstream applications are directly in industries and scenarios with extremely high demands on braking system performance, primarily including the high-performance automotive manufacturing and modification industry, high-end passenger cars, heavy-duty commercial vehicles, motorcycle racing, and military and special vehicles.
DOT 5.1 brake fluid, as a high-performance brake fluid, holds a significant position in the braking systems of automobiles, motorcycles, and other vehicles worldwide. Compared to DOT 3 and DOT 4 brake fluids, DOT 5.1 has higher dry and wet boiling points, resulting in superior performance in high-temperature environments. It effectively prevents brake fluid vaporization and evaporation, reducing the risk of brake failure. This makes DOT 5.1 widely used in high-performance cars, racing cars, heavy-duty trucks, and demanding high-load driving environments, especially suitable for prolonged high-speed driving and aggressive braking situations.
With the increasing demands for safety, performance, and durability in the global automotive industry, the market demand for DOT 5.1 brake fluid is steadily growing. Furthermore, with the continuous advancement of automotive technology, the application of braking systems in high-temperature and high-humidity environments is becoming more common, further driving the demand for DOT 5.1 brake fluid. Although its price is slightly higher than DOT 3 and DOT 4, its superior performance ensures its continued widespread use in high-end vehicles and racing markets, giving DOT 5.1 brake fluid a promising market outlook.
