The current research work focuses on the variability of brake pads’ composition in Malaysian automotive aftermarket, and the correlation with price after the phasing out of asbestos. Survey was done in four of Selangor districts, in order to study the price variation of brake pads for the same passenger vehicle. In total, 13 of semi-metallic brake pads with variation of price group were selected for elemental composition study. For this purpose, a scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray mapping and spectrum was used to identify and analyse different constituents. From the study, the material composition of the brake pads does not influence the commercial price of brake pads in the market. Furthermore, expensive brake pads do not necessarily contain the highest fibre content. Metals are used widely due to their high density, hardness and good thermal conductivity.
