The electric power steering market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Recent years have witnessed robust growth in the market size of electric power steering. The market, which is projected to expand from $28.84 billion in 2024 to $30.75 billion in 2025, is expected to see a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. This past growth and projected ascent is due to several factors such as improved fuel efficiency and lowered emissions, elevated vehicle safety and control, regulatory standards and norms, a shift in consumer preferences towards a more comfortable driving experience, and the cuts in manufacturing costs.
The Electric Power Steering market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for electric power steering is predicted to witness significant expansion in the forthcoming years. It is expected to augment to approximately $41.01 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%.
This surge during the projection span can be ascribed to factors such as the incorporation with autonomous driving systems, increasing production of electric and hybrid vehicles, advancements in EPS, the customer's longing for a better driving experience and the heed to environmental regulations as well as fuel efficiency. Key trends expected during the forecast period cover the demand for quiet and fluid steering, improved connectivity and data amalgamation, concentration on energy efficiency, the evolution of dual pinion EPS and the embracement of steer-by-wire technology.
The surge in global electric vehicle demand is poised to significantly boost the electric power steering market. Electric vehicles primarily encompass an electric-powered motor and battery storage. The fight against COVID-19 and the aim for net-zero emissions have rapidly increased the adoption of EVs and hybrid vehicles. Given that electric power steering is an integral part of electric vehicles, their rise necessitates the expansion of electric power steering, thus elevating the demand in its market. For instance, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, noted in July 2023 that the sales of electric vehicles were 10 million in 2022, and projected an increase to 14 million sales in 2023. Consequently, heightened demand for electric vehicles is propelling the expansion of the electric power steering market.
