The automotive steering system market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $37.94 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electric vehicle penetration, autonomous driving development, software-defined vehicles, demand for energy-efficient steering, integration with vehicle electronics. Major trends in the forecast period include rapid adoption of electric power steering, integration of steering with adas, shift toward steer-by-wire systems, demand for lightweight steering components, growth of software-controlled steering.

The automotive steering system market is poised for growth due to the increasing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles. These vehicles are designed to maximize mileage per unit of fuel, achieved through technological advancements and engineering innovations aimed at reducing fuel consumption. There's a rising awareness of the environmental impact of vehicle emissions, especially greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, which contribute to climate change. Fuel-efficient vehicles emit fewer emissions per mile, making them environmentally friendly. Automotive steering systems play a role in meeting the demand for fuel-efficient vehicles by incorporating lightweight materials, advanced control algorithms, optimizing tire alignment, enhancing vehicle aerodynamics, and reducing energy consumption through technologies such as electric power steering (EPS). For instance, data from the Environmental Protection Agency in December 2023 showed that electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCVs) constituted 4% of production in 2021, rising to 7% in 2022, with a projected increase to 12% in 2023, indicating the growing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles and its impact on the automotive steering system market.

Leading companies in the automotive steering system market are developing advanced electric steering systems tailored for specific low-volume vehicle manufacturers. These systems offer precise and responsive steering control, improve fuel efficiency, enhance driver safety with features such as lane-keeping assistance, and reduce overall weight and complexity. For instance, in September 2023, Titan Motorsport and Automotive Engineering launched an advanced steer-by-wire system featuring a bespoke electric motor and control system, scalability for various applications, and high tuneability for precise steering responses, representing significant advancements in electric steering technology.
