Rise in Integration of EPS and Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) is Driving the Middle East & Africa Automotive Steering System Market

The automotive industry has reacted to the global demand to reduce emissions by accelerating the electrification of several typically mechanical systems. Anything from supercharging to power steering has been electrified to minimize emissions while also improving safety, simplifying operations, and providing a better driving experience. Electronic power steering systems have many advantages over their hydraulic counterparts, including reduced weight, maintenance, and fuel consumption, as well as improved variable steering response at various speeds. Simultaneously, the simplicity of integrating features such as electronic stability control and self-parking is fueling their demand. Owing to the versatility of EPS, many manufacturers are working on integrating it with other smart systems already in use in ADAS to increase vehicle safety and enhance the driving experience. For instance, Maserati switched its Ghibli, Quattroporte, and Levante models to electronic power steering in the models introduced in 2018, allowing new driver assistance systems. Similarly, Nexteer Automotive Corporation also introduced EPS that ensures safety through driver assistance by the integration ADAS systems with the electronic power steering systems.
