Automotive Pedals Market Report 2026

The automotive pedals market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2.5 billion in 2025 to $2.6 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to vehicle production growth, transition from mechanical pedals, safety regulations, standardization of pedal layouts, mass adoption of passenger vehicles.

The automotive pedals market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.05 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electric vehicle expansion, autonomous driving integration, demand for pedal sensors, lightweight vehicle design trends, smart cockpit development. Major trends in the forecast period include shift toward electronic accelerator pedals, lightweight pedal material adoption, integration with drive-by-wire systems, improved ergonomic pedal designs, demand from electric vehicles.

The rising number of distracted-driving crashes is expected to propel the growth of the automotive pedals market going forward. Distracted driving includes behaviors such as mobile phone usage, interaction with in-vehicle screens, and cognitive distractions that divert a driver’s attention from safe vehicle operation. The increase in such incidents is driving demand for more responsive, ergonomic, and safety-oriented pedal systems that enhance braking accuracy and reduce driver reaction time during sudden or critical situations. Automotive pedals contribute to improved safety by offering optimized pedal force, reduced travel distance, and enhanced tactile feedback, helping drivers maintain better control of the vehicle in emergency scenarios. For instance, in April 2024, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a US federal government agency, 3,308 fatalities and an estimated 289,310 injuries were attributed to distracted-driving crashes in 2022, highlighting the ongoing severity of distraction-related road accidents across the United States. Therefore, the increasing number of distracted-driving crashes is driving the growth of the automotive pedals market.

Major companies operating in the automotive pedals market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as advanced brake pedal position sensors, to enhance vehicle safety and improve driver control. A brake pedal position sensor is a component that detects the position and movement of the brake pedal and transmits real-time data to the vehicle’s electronic control systems. For instance, in October 2024, Melexis, a Belgium-based microelectronics engineering company, launched the MLX90424 brake pedal position sensor. This sensor features an integrated wake-up function that improves automotive safety and energy efficiency. It is designed to deliver precise linear displacement measurements of up to 30 millimeters and can be powered directly by a 12-volt battery, eliminating the need for additional voltage regulators and simplifying system design while reducing component costs. By combining two position-sensing integrated circuits and a wake-up switch into a single compact package, the MLX90424 streamlines assembly compared to conventional systems that rely on separate sensors and switches.

In September 2024, British American Tobacco (Zambia) Plc, a Zambia-based manufacturing company, partnered with IKERLAN, a Spain-based technology research and transfer center, to develop a brake pedal sensor for Volvo cars. This collaboration aims to meet stringent requirements for safety, reliability, and electronic integration in modern vehicles by combining BATZ’s expertise in automotive component manufacturing with IKERLAN’s advanced capabilities in sensor technology and electronic systems.
