The global automotive electric power steering market size is predicted to surpass US$ 30 Bn by 2030, expanding at a Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.1% from 2021 to 2030. 

Rise in demand for advanced safety features in vehicles, including lane assistance and blind spot detection, is projected to fuel the demand for electronic components in vehicles. This, in turn, is likely to propel the automotive electric power steering market across the globe. The growing consumer trend toward advanced drive assist systems in vehicles is prompting vehicle manufacturers to integrate the electric power steering in their vehicles. Rise in sales of vehicles across the globe due to decline in tax rates on vehicles is also a key factor fueling the demand for electric power steering in vehicles. High demand for electric vehicles due to enactment of stringent emission norms is anticipated to further drive the automotive electric power steering market across the globe. Major vehicle manufacturers are reducing their vehicles’ weight to enhance fuel-efficiency, which is likely to propel the demand for electric power steering systems in vehicles.

Drivers

Rise in adoption of advanced electric components in vehicles to improve safety features is likely to boost the automotive electric power steering market. Vehicle manufacturers are using an increased number of electric components and systems in their vehicles to improve the quality and driving experience of their vehicles. Manufacturers are employing electronic devices and systems to increase the efficiency of their vehicles and monitor the working of all major components in order to identify faults, initially, before they become severe.

Penetration of electric power steering system is anticipated to rise at a notable pace during the forecast period, as the technology offers various advantages over the existing hydraulic power steering technology, including low maintenance cost and assistance in providing higher fuel efficiency.

Challenges

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a majority of businesses across the globe to crumble, owing to the forced shutdown of production and manufacturing activities. This has led the global economy to contract to its lowest growth rate. Majority of businesses in every industry is codependent and part of major supply chain in the market. Disruption in supply chain attributing to stoppage of transportation and shipping services, and reduced demand for vehicles across the globe are likely to cause the global automotive industry to contract in Q1 and Q2 of 2020.

The automotive electric power steering system comprises a large number of electronic components, and the failure of electronic is a major factor restraining the automotive electric power steering market. Furthermore, a few consumers prefer hydraulic power steering system over electric power steering system, which, in turn, is estimated to hamper the electric power steering market.

PID Control Method Holds Potentials in Overcoming Operational Issues of EPS

Electric power steering (EPS) systems are being associated with energy savings, lightweight attributes, and smart driving. However, operational issues in these systems such as model uncertainties and external interference are being addressed by manufacturers. Hence, companies in the automotive electric power steering market are anticipated to team up with scholars and researchers who offer guidance on various control theories, which are improving the ergonomics of EPS.

Companies in the automotive electric power steering market are gaining a strong research base in the flexible PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control method that provides real-time tracking ability. PID control method is considered a gold standard for improving the steering stability and sensitivity. PID parameters can be adjusted in real-time according to the operating environment, which makes the response capability of EPS system more fast and accurate.

OEMs Reduce Development Lead Time by Reviewing Control Program in EPS

Innovations in motor control units are facilitating improved handling and safety of vehicles. Japan-based DENSO Corporation— a global automotive components manufacturer, announced that it has developed a new EPS motor control unit (EPS-MCU), which has featured in TOYOTA NEW HARRIER that was launched in June 2020. The decline in the size of EPS systems is enabling cost and fuel savings.

Companies in the automotive electric power steering market are increasing efforts to reduce development lead-time by reviewing and reforming how the control program is adapted in different vehicles. Software innovations in the EPS-MCU are becoming prominent so that it automatically integrates into the vehicle after the unit is installed at the vehicle factory.
