Steering Column Control Modules Global Market Report 2025

The steering column control module market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $18.42 billion in 2024 to $19.92 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising sales of electric vehicles (EVs), increasing vehicle ownership, greater adoption of electronic power steering systems, a surge in demand for driver assistance features, and growth in luxury and premium vehicle sales.

The steering column control module market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $26.89 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing integration of autonomous driving systems, a shift toward electric vehicles (EVs), growing demand for steer-by-wire technology, the implementation of stricter vehicle safety regulations, expansion of automotive electronics, and greater software integration. Key trends during this period include integration with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), wider adoption of steer-by-wire technology, improved electronic control units for enhanced vehicle communication, miniaturization and modular designs for better space efficiency, and increased use of lightweight materials to boost fuel efficiency.

The rapid proliferation of electric and autonomous vehicles is expected to significantly propel the growth of the steering column control modules market in the coming years. Electric vehicles (EVs) rely on electric powertrains, while autonomous vehicles employ advanced technologies to operate with minimal or no human intervention. This growth is primarily driven by environmental concerns, as cleaner transportation solutions help reduce emissions and combat climate change. Steering column control modules play a vital role in supporting electric and autonomous vehicles by facilitating precise communication between advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and steering functions, ensuring smooth and responsive vehicle control. For example, according to Kelley Blue Book, a US-based Cox Automotive company, EVs accounted for 7.6% of the total U.S. vehicle market in 2023, a marked increase from 5.9% in 2022. Moreover, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) projects that 4.5 million self-driving vehicles will be on U.S. roads by 2030. Consequently, the widespread adoption of electric and autonomous vehicles is a key driver of growth in the steering column control modules market.

Leading companies in the steering column control module market are developing innovative solutions such as motor-driven steering systems to improve steering precision, responsiveness, and overall vehicle performance. Motor-driven steering systems utilize electric motors to assist steering, replacing traditional hydraulic systems. These systems enhance fuel efficiency, reduce maintenance needs, and integrate seamlessly with vehicle sensors and electronic control units to support advanced driving features. For instance, in April 2025, Nexteer Automotive, a US-based provider of advanced steering solutions, launched its High-Output Column-Assist Electric Power Steering (HO CEPS) system. This product delivers up to 110 Nm of steering assist, extending its applicability beyond compact cars and small SUVs to larger, heavier vehicles that typically require more complex steering systems. This innovation provides automakers with increased flexibility to balance performance, cost, and development timelines across a broader range of vehicle platforms while maintaining steering precision and efficiency without resorting to premium under-hood EPS solutions.

In September 2024, Rane Holdings Ltd., an India-based automotive components manufacturer, acquired a 51% equity stake in NSK Ltd., a Japan-based manufacturer of steering column control modules, for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition aims to strengthen Rane Holdings' position in the steering systems market by leveraging NSK Ltd.’s advanced technologies and expanding its product portfolio to meet the growing demand for components tailored to electric and autonomous vehicles.

The steering column control module (SCCM) is an electronic device that manages and coordinates multiple functions on the steering column, including turn signals, wipers, cruise control, and steering angle sensors, to ensure smooth communication with a vehicle’s onboard systems. It serves as a central hub for input devices located on the steering column, enabling the integration and operation of driver controls and safety features.

The primary locations for steering column control modules are on the steering wheel and around or below the steering wheel. The “on the steering wheel” position refers to user interface controls such as buttons and switches that manage functions like audio, cruise control, and driver assistance systems. SCCMs are used in various types of vehicles, including passenger cars, commercial vehicles, heavy trucks, buses, and off-road vehicles, supporting functions such as steering control, wiper control, lighting control, cruise control, and turn signal control. These modules are distributed through different sales channels, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket, and are utilized by end users like automotive manufacturers and suppliers.
