Global Electric Steering Market (USD Million), 2021 - 2031
In the year 2024, the Global Electric Steering Market was valued at USD 27,179.47 million. The size of this market is expected to increase to USD 41,959.70 million by the year 2031, while growing at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.4%.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted global markets, particularly due to supply chain disruptions caused by widespread lockdowns and halted economic activities. Manufacturing units and OEM plants ceased production to comply with social distancing measures, leading to a sharp decline in the demand for passenger vehicles. However, as economies gradually reopened, demand rebounded, especially in markets like China and India, where there was a notable shift from public transport to personal vehicles, driving up the demand for passenger cars.
Amidst this, electric power steering (EPS) systems emerged as a notable alternative to traditional steering systems like hydraulic and electro-hydraulic systems. The increasing popularity of self-driving vehicles has fueled the demand for EPS systems worldwide. Vehicles equipped with EPS tend to be lighter, enhancing fuel efficiency. Nonetheless, the higher cost of EPS systems compared to conventional steering systems, coupled with the potential for increased vehicle recalls due to sensor or component malfunctions, may impede market growth.
EPS systems offer significant fuel efficiency advantages, thanks to the elimination of belt-driven hydraulic or manual pumps that run constantly. This translates to fuel savings of up to 0.4 liters per 100 kilometers and a reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 7 grams per kilometer.
The Asia-Pacific region, despite experiencing sluggish growth in the Chinese market, remains the world's largest automotive market. It is poised to lead the automotive EPS market, buoyed by its extensive network of automotive suppliers, particularly in China and India, which maintain robust global supply chain capabilities.
