Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The increasing adoption of electric power steering is notably driving the market growth. The increasing demand for comfort and convenience for the driver and the need to improve the fuel efficiency of vehicles has brought about many developments in the automotive industry. Technological advancements in steering systems are allowing automotive manufacturers to adopt electric power steering and steer-by-wire systems. These transformations have paved the way for the further development of automotive steering system components, including steering columns and steering gearboxes, among others. The pump in a hydraulic power steering system is always on, even when the steering is idle, and this reduces fuel efficiency.
Moreover, an electric power steering system, including components such as automotive steer-by-wire system, costs more than a hydraulic power steering system, which is beneficial for manufacturers of automotive steering systems and steering components in terms of profit margins. Therefore, the growing adoption of automotive electric power steering systems will drive the revenue growth of the global automotive steering gearbox market during the market forecast period
Steering gear for steer-by-wire systems is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. The automotive steer-by-wire system has been developed to eliminate mechanical linkages between steering wheels and wheels of vehicles to enhance driving comfort and improve fuel efficiency. Other power steering systems have a mechanical linkage between steering components, including steering gears. In the steer-by-wire system, the steering wheel is attached to a steering wheel angle sensor that sends signals to the steering actuator. The pinion angle sensor allows the pinon to move over the rack with the help of the electric motor (power assist unit).
Further, as such technology is new on the market, profit margins are expected to be higher from sales of steer-by-wire systems during the forecast period. Thus, the development of the steer-by-wire system, which has a steering gear that works as an electrical actuator, will boost the growth of the global automotive steering gearbox market during the forecast period. Automotive steering torque sensors play a critical role in steer-by-wire systems, providing essential feedback and control over steering input and response. These sensors ensure precise measurement and transmission of steering torque data, enhancing the overall performance and safety of electronic steering systems. As steer-by-wire technology gains traction for its potential to improve vehicle handling and efficiency, the demand for automotive steering torque sensors is expected to increase, driving market growth and innovation in steering system technologies.
Increasing cost of raw materials is a significant challenge hindering the market growth. The growing need for improving fuel efficiency is pushing automotive manufacturers to reduce vehicle weight without compromising on performance. A widely used material to replace iron and steel is aluminum. Most vehicle components are being replaced by aluminum as it is lightweight, and its performance is superior. However, rising prices of this metal are exerting pressure on automotive components manufacturers. Decisions to slap sanctions on suppliers of aluminum have increased the cost of the material.
For instance, by 2030, it is anticipated that each vehicle will contain 556 pounds of aluminum. The higher demand will lead to the high price of aluminum metal. Therefore, manufacturers of automotive steering system components, including steering columns and steering gearboxes, which are made of aluminum, are expected to come under tremendous cost pressures, which will hinder the market growth and trends of the market during the forecast period.

The electric power steering segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The adoption of electric power steering is increasing as it is lightweight and highly efficient. This system has a variable power assist for providing additional assistance at lower speeds and reduced assistance at higher speeds. An electric power steering system does not require significant power when steering assistance is not needed. The need for additional power is calculated based on the torque applied to the steering wheel.

The electric power steering segment was the largest and was valued at USD 8.92 billion in 2018. There are different forms of electric power steering systems, and they are based on the position of the power assist motor. They include the column assist, pinion assist, direct drive, and rack assist types. Among these, the steering gear plays an important role in the pinion assist and rack assist types of electric power steering. In the pinion assist type electric power steering system, the power assist motor is connected to the steering gears pinion shaft. This type of electric power steering system works well for small cars. Although all types of electric power steering have gearboxes, their designs change based on the position of the power assist motor. The market research and growth of the automotive steering gearbox market by the electric power steering segment will depend on the adoption rates of electric power steering systems during the forecast period.
