Increasing use of advanced technology, such as sensors and traction control systems is boding well for the growth of the global automotive steering system market. However, according to an FMI study, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to
obstruct automotive production activities, worldwide, as some of the
most affected countries house major automotive production hubs, such as
Germany, the UK, India, and the U.S. The pandemic is likely to have a
measurable impact on consumer demand in the short term, with automotive
sales in Germany registering a 40% drop in Q1 of 2020. Tier-2, and
especially tier 3 suppliers of automotive steering systems are poised to
get adversely affected by pandemic-related disruptions.
The global automotive steering system market is projected to total US$ 23.2 Bn in 2022. With sales growing at a healthy 4.6% CAGR, the market size is projected to total US$ 33.3 Bn by 2030.
The global automotive steering system market is likely to experience a
V-shape recovery growth curve, owing to an increase in automotive
production in emerging countries such as China, Mexico, and India. As
such, the market will witness rapid resurgence post containment of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The global automotive steering system market value of US$ 23.2 Bn in 2022, and is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.6%
during the forecast period (2022–2030).
Key Takeaways of Automotive Steering Systems Study:
- Active safety technologies such as antilock breaking systems (ABS) and
electronic stability control (ESC) are becoming commonplace in the
automotive sector for improved safety; thus, fueling the demand for
automotive steering systems. - Increasing adoption of advanced technologies and power steering systems in mid-size, compact, and light
commercial vehicles (LCVs) is expected to positively influence the
automotive steering system market. - Electric power steering is expected to be highly preferred over other technologies, as it offers
simplified tuning, packaging flexibility, and engine-off steering
assist. - Key manufacturers in automotive steering system market are innovating automotive steering systems to increase control and
stability by using sensors and traction control systems for the
detection of vehicle skidding movements as well as to counteract them,
which complements the safety features of automotive steering systems.
“Autonomous vehicles and connected cars are rapidly becoming mainstays, and are
expected to pave the way for future-proof systems where computers would
replace human drivers, thus creating positive growth prospects for
players in the automotive steering system market. In addition, the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is likely to alter how key players establish
their supply chains in the coming years, where, putting more focus on
decentralization is likely to happen.”
