The rising demand for automobiles is expected to propel the growth of the pitman arms market going forward. Automobiles are motorized vehicles powered by internal combustion engines, electric motors, or alternative fuels designed for personal transportation. The pitman arm is a critical component of an automobile's steering system, converting the driver's rotational steering input into lateral movement, which directly influences the vehicle's front wheels. For instance, according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), in October 2023, the Indian automotive industry produced 2,621,248 units, including passenger cars, three-wheelers, and two-wheelers. During this period, 389,714 passenger vehicles, 76,940 three-wheelers, and 189,579 two-wheelers were sold, reflecting significant year-over-year growth across all segments. As vehicle production and sales continue to grow, the demand for pitman arms is expected to increase, driving market expansion.

The growing focus on vehicle safety is expected to propel the growth of the pitman arms market going forward. Vehicle safety involves various measures aimed at reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. Pitman arms contribute to vehicle safety by converting the rotational motion of the steering wheel into lateral movement, enabling drivers to control the direction of the vehicle. For example, a Spring 2023 Global Mobility Consumer Survey by S&P Global Inc. revealed that car buyers increasingly prioritize advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) as essential for safer driving. Consumers now expect ADAS features, such as blind spot warnings, forward collision alerts, rear-view cameras, and automatic emergency braking, to be standard across both luxury and mainstream vehicle segments. With vehicle safety continuing to be a top concern for consumers, the demand for pitman arms, a key component in the steering system, is likely to rise, thereby driving market growth.

Major companies operating in the pitman arms market are focusing on developing new products to gain a competitive edge. For example, in October 2024, Lisle Corporation, a U.S.-based manufacturer of pitman arm pullers, introduced three new models: the 41450, 41490, and 41610. These models are designed to efficiently remove stubborn pitman arms, which are critical components in vehicle steering systems. The 41450 model is built for medium-duty trucks, utilizing high-strength cast steel construction to prevent damage during removal. The 41490 model is specifically tailored for M100 and M110 Sheppard models, while the 41610 model offers versatility for a broader range of applications. These new releases enhance Lisle's product portfolio, providing automotive repair professionals with more reliable and efficient tools, thereby strengthening their position in the market.

In June 2023, inMusic Brands Inc., a U.S.-based company specializing in music technology and audio equipment, acquired Moog Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition expands inMusic Brands' portfolio with innovative companies focusing on performance and production instruments. Moog Inc., a U.S.-based company manufacturing Pitman arms for vehicle steering systems, is expected to benefit from the acquisition, addressing ongoing challenges faced as a small manufacturing business.

The pitman arms market consists of sales of rack-and-pinion steering systems, power steering, and worm and roller steering. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

A pitman arm is a crucial steering component present in automobiles and trucks, responsible for converting the angular motion generated by the steering box sector shaft into the linear motion necessary for steering the wheels. Pitman arms play a key role in connecting the steering linkage, ensuring precise steering control, and contributing to safe and predictable steering performance and maintenance.

The primary types of steering mechanisms associated with pitman arms include manual steering gear, recirculating ball, and parallelogram steering gear. A manual steering gear, also referred to as a manual steering mechanism or system, enables the driver to control the vehicle's direction by physically turning the steering wheel. Various materials used in the construction of pitman arms include steel alloys, iron alloys, and carbon composites. These components are incorporated in various types of vehicles, including commercial vehicles, passenger cars, and electric cars, and are distributed through different sales channels such as online and offline.
