Meeting the Demand for Driving Comfort: Surge in Vehicle Sales Propels Growth in the Global Power Steering Market

DUBLIN, Nov. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Power Steering Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global power steering market reached an impressive valuation of USD 29 billion in 2022 and is set for strong growth in the forecast period, with a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.76% through 2028.

The surge in demand for vehicles worldwide is a key driver fueling the expansion of the automotive steering system market, which is witnessing remarkable technological advancements, including Steer by Wire (SbW) and control technology.

The automotive steering system, a critical component governing vehicle motion, has evolved from manual to power-assisted steering, enhancing vehicle control. As the demand for vehicles grows, so does the need for steering systems, resulting in intense competition in the market.

Key Market Drivers

1. Increase in Demand for Automobiles: The persistent growth in the automobile market, especially in developing nations such as India, China, and Brazil, is driving the demand for steering systems. Major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) investing in these regions, like China, the world's largest car market, further contribute to this growth.
2. Adoption of Power Steering Systems: The shift from manual to power steering systems has significantly impacted the automotive industry. Power steering systems, incorporating hydraulics and electronics, enhance driving experience and vehicle efficiency.
3. Power Steering Systems' Cost Factor: While power steering systems offer benefits, their higher cost compared to manual systems, attributed to components like electric motors and hydraulic pistons, can affect overall vehicle pricing.
4. Consumer Preference for Driving Comfort: Consumer demand for driving comfort has led to the adoption of advanced systems, including power steering, to enhance driving quality. Adaptable steering systems cater to varying road conditions, further satisfying customers.

Key Market Challenges
