Automotive Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering Market Forecasts to 2028 - Global Analysis By type, Electric Motor, Electric Vehicle, Component, Application and Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Automotive Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering Market is accounted for $1.60 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $2.51 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period. An electric motor in an automotive electric power steering system assists the driver while driving the car. Sensors monitor the position and torque of the steering column, and a computer module applies assistive torque via the motor, which is connected to either the steering gear or the steering column. Through the employment of an electric motor directly attached to the steering gear or column, automotive electric power steering provides more help than traditional hydraulic power steering.

According to the ACEA European Automobile Manufacturers Association, the automotive sector on the EU suffered production losses amounting to 3.6 million vehicles worth around USD 110.6 billion, during the first half of 2020 alone.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increased production of automobiles

The automotive electro-hydraulic power steering system market is expanding due to its importance in the automotive sector. Growing production of power steering systems in APAC and the Middle East continues as the market's disposable income rises in tandem with population expansion, driving demand and vehicle production. The increase in vehicle sales due to improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions is likely to drive the global automotive electric power steering market. The utilisation of mass manufacturing techniques and technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning are further enhancing the vehicle sector, which will fuel market expansion.

Restraint:

High cost

Increased automation in power steering has raised the price of cars; this will have an impact on sales due to the high cost, with a potential preference for non-power steering systems due to potential cost issues. The cost of converting the vehicles from traditional steering to electro hydraulic steering has also presented challenges. As a result, vehicle owners will be reluctant to change their steering systems.

Opportunity:

Regulatory push toward efficient technologies

Manufacturing businesses are constantly innovating and manufacturing techniques to improve client luxury in their automotive vehicles. Furthermore, due to an increase in the incidence of accidents, the safety and security aspect has been prioritised. As a result, firms are adjusting to a better safety system, which is likely to promote the growth of the automotive electric power steering market over the forecast period.

Threat:

Maintaining market against steer-by-wire technology

The steering market in the automotive industry is constantly evolving in response to the changing dynamics of the sector. OEMs are innovating their conventional steering systems in response to the introduction of autonomous vehicles. Steer-by-wire technology is one such invention that will replace the complete steering mechanism in an autonomous car. This type of steering system will remove the steering linkage of a traditional electric power steering system.

COVID-19 Impact

The pandemic of COVID-19 had a devastating impact on the automobile sector. The supply chain was disrupted as several major economies around the world went into lockdown. All manufacturing units and OEM plants were obliged to suspend production and operations during this period. As economies recovered, the industry saw a boom in demand for passenger automobiles as consumer preferences changed from public transportation to personal vehicles.

The C-EHPS segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The C-EHPS segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. C-EHPS is a type of electro-hydraulic power steering system that uses a central solenoid to control the flow of oil to both the left and right side cylinders. This type of system is found in high-end luxury vehicles and is often used in conjunction with other driver-assist systems, such as electronic stability control (ESC) or all-wheel drive (AWD). The main benefit of a C-EHPS system is that it provides better feedback to the driver, allowing for more precise steering control.

The passenger cars (PC) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The passenger cars (PC) segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, because of rising demand for sedans, luxury sedans, and mid-range automobiles with strong steering systems to ensure smooth drivability. The phrase typically refers to a vehicle with four or more wheels that is intended for personal transportation. Passenger vehicles account for the vast majority of motor vehicles on the road in North America, Europe, and other industrialised countries. Furthermore, technological improvements in this industry are contributing to the expansion of this market.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period because they produce the most both commercial and passenger vehicles. Furthermore, regions such as China and India are good vehicle producers, and as the demand for more automobiles grows, so does the demand for electro-hydraulic power steering due to the necessity for better steering systems. Because of the existence of a significant number of suppliers and manufacturers, China is likely to be one of the important markets in this region.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, attributable to the presence of a high number of automakers and suppliers in this region. Furthermore, rising demand for passenger and commercial cars in countries such as the United States, Canada, and Mexico is fueling the expansion of the automotive electro-hydraulic power steering system market in North America. Because of the presence of major OEMs like as Volkswagen and Ford Motor Company, Mexico is expected to be one of the key markets in this region.
