Active Power Steering Global Market Report 2025

The active power steering market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.84 billion in 2024 to $11.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for luxury and premium vehicles, increased interest in autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles, greater adoption of electric vehicles, the expanding use of electric power steering in passenger cars, and a growing focus on fuel efficiency and emissions reduction.

The active power steering market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.1 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to the rising installation rate of electric power steering (EPS) systems in commercial vehicles, increasing investment in steer-by-wire technologies, a stronger focus on advanced vehicle dynamics and stability control, the expansion of smart mobility and connected vehicles, and the growing demand for lightweight vehicle components. Key trends during this period include technological innovations in automotive components, advancements in EPS technology, innovations in sensor technology, a shift toward steer-by-wire systems, and the development of advanced steering technologies.

The rising demand for electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the active power steering market in the coming years. Electric vehicles (EVs) are cars powered fully or partially by electricity, utilizing electric motors and rechargeable batteries instead of conventional internal combustion engines. The surge in EV adoption is attributed to advances in battery technology that have greatly extended driving ranges and shortened charging times. Active power steering improves electric vehicles by optimizing steering response and boosting energy efficiency. This results in better vehicle handling, increased battery range, reduced driver fatigue, and seamless integration with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), providing a safer and more comfortable driving experience. For example, according to the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, global electric car sales increased from 14 million in 2023 to 17 million in 2024, showing strong year-over-year growth. Therefore, the expanding demand for electric vehicles is propelling the active power steering market forward.

Leading companies in the active power steering market are focused on developing innovative products such as electric and hydraulic power steering systems to enhance vehicle handling, improve fuel efficiency, and meet the rising demand for advanced driver-assistance technologies. Electric and hydraulic power steering systems are technologies designed to assist drivers by reducing the effort needed to steer vehicles. For instance, in April 2025, Nexteer Automotive, a US-based automotive company, introduced a high-output column-assist electric power steering (HO CEPS) system. This system delivers enhanced steering support specifically for larger and heavier vehicles while improving energy efficiency and overall vehicle handling. The HO CEPS system is engineered to provide higher torque output, making it ideal for trucks and SUVs. By combining advanced control algorithms with powerful electric motors, the system increases steering precision, reduces driver effort, and enhances vehicle control. It also supports fuel efficiency and compatibility with electric vehicles by minimizing parasitic power loss compared to traditional hydraulic systems.

In March 2024, ZF Friedrichshafen AG, a Germany-based automotive component supplier, acquired a majority stake in Rane Steering Systems Private Limited for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, ZF plans to expand its passenger car and commercial vehicle business within India. The move will enhance cooperation with the Rane Group to introduce new technologies faster and localize operations as part of ZF’s Refresh India strategy. Rane Steering Systems Private Limited, headquartered in India, manufactures active power steering systems, including both manual and electric power steering (EPS) columns.

Active power steering is an advanced vehicle steering system that dynamically adjusts the steering effort based on driving conditions such as speed, load, and road surface. It improves driver control and comfort by utilizing sensors and electronic controls to optimize steering response in real time.

The primary types of active power steering include electric power steering systems, hydraulic power steering systems, and electro-hydraulic power steering systems. An electric power steering (EPS) system uses an electric motor instead of a traditional hydraulic pump to assist the driver in turning the steering wheel. These systems are used in both passenger cars and commercial vehicles and are distributed through original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as well as the aftermarket.
