Pickup Truck Steering System Global Market Report 2025

The pickup truck steering system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.8 billion in 2024 to $12.69 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising production of pickup trucks, increased demand for light commercial vehicles, growing adoption of hydraulic power steering systems, rising disposable income, and the expansion of the logistics industry.

The pickup truck steering system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.74 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of electric power steering, the rise in electric pickup trucks, growing demand for fuel-efficient systems, expanded use of steer-by-wire technology, and the rise in commercial fleet operations. Major trends during the forecast period include the adoption of electric power steering (EPS), growth in steer-by-wire technology, integration with autonomous driving systems, enhanced off-road steering capabilities, and increased focus on customization and drive mode selectivity.

The increasing demand for light-duty trucks is expected to drive the growth of the pickup truck steering system market. Light-duty trucks, used primarily for personal transport and light commercial purposes, combine utility, comfort, and fuel efficiency. Their rising popularity stems from their versatility, offering passenger comfort alongside cargo capacity, making them ideal for personal and small business use. As light-duty trucks gain traction, the need for advanced steering systems that enhance maneuverability, safety, and ease of driving becomes essential. For example, in February 2025, the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), a US-based environmental research organization, reported that in 2024, light and medium trucks comprised 13% of all heavy-duty vehicle sales in Europe. Zero-emission light and medium trucks (3.5-12 tonnes) accounted for 10% of sales in this segment across the EU in 2024, up from 6% in 2023. Thus, the growing demand for light-duty trucks is propelling the pickup truck steering system market.

Leading companies in the pickup truck steering system market are developing advanced steering technologies to improve precision, fuel efficiency, and compatibility with electric and autonomous vehicles. These innovations aim to enhance safety, comfort, and overall vehicle performance. For instance, in November 2024, RIDDARA, a China-based automaker, launched the RIDDARA RD6 EV pickup truck in Thailand. Built on the Multiplex Attached Platform (M.A.P.), the RD6 combines pickup utility with SUV-style comfort and design. It features fast acceleration, a driving range of up to 455 km (NEDC), and advanced driving modes, offering a practical and sustainable option for urban and outdoor use.

In February 2025, RACL Geartech Limited, an India-based manufacturer of precision automotive components, partnered with ZF Rane to develop and supply critical parts such as ring gears, sun gears, drive gears, and planetary gear assemblies for Electric Power Steering (EPS) systems in passenger vehicles. This collaboration targets a major American pickup truck manufacturer, supporting RACL Geartech’s expansion into the North American market and growth in the EPS segment domestically and internationally. ZF Rane specializes in steering and occupant safety solutions, including steering systems for pickup trucks.

A pickup truck steering system is a collection of components that enables the driver to control the vehicle’s direction by turning the front wheels. It generally consists of the steering wheel, column, gear, and linkages, and may incorporate hydraulic or electric power assistance to facilitate easier handling.

The main types of steering systems in the pickup truck steering system market include mechanical steering systems, power steering systems, and electronic power steering (EPS) systems. Mechanical steering systems are traditional manual steering mechanisms where the driver’s input is directly transmitted to the wheels through mechanical linkages without hydraulic or electric assistance. These systems for pickup trucks are manual or non-assisted and rely solely on mechanical linkages to steer the front wheels. Key components of pickup truck steering systems include the steering gear, steering column, power steering pump, rack and pinion, and ball joints. The technologies used encompass hydraulic steering, electromechanical steering, and variable rate steering. Pickup truck steering systems are applied across vehicle types such as light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty pickup trucks. The end-user industries include commercial fleet operators, construction and mining, agriculture, and individual consumers.
