The market expansion is fueled by increasing demand for advanced, safer, and more efficient steering technologies, alongside the rising adoption of electric and hybrid light-duty trucks and the growth of commercial and logistics operations. Fleet operators and individual buyers are prioritizing driver comfort, vehicle maneuverability, and safety, making modern steering systems essential for reliable handling across diverse road conditions and operational settings. Innovations such as electric power steering (EPS), hydraulic-assisted systems, adaptive steering modules, and lightweight, high-strength components are transforming the functionality of these trucks. High-quality materials, including aluminum alloys, high-strength steel, and corrosion-resistant coatings, ensure durable, long-lasting steering solutions. Expanding urban logistics, last-mile delivery services, ride-sharing fleets, and demand for trucks with enhanced handling and safety features are accelerating market adoption globally.
The steering gear segment held a 26% share in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.2% from 2026 to 2035. Steering gears are critical for precise vehicle control, stability, and maneuverability across pickups, vans, and light commercial trucks. They offer robustness, compatibility with hydraulic, electric, and electro-hydraulic architectures, and reliability under heavy-duty and variable load conditions, making them a preferred choice for OEMs and fleet operators.
The OEM segment held 78% share in 2025 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 2.3% through 2035. OEM channels integrate steering systems into new trucks, ensuring the use of certified, high-quality components that meet safety and performance standards. These systems offer seamless vehicle compatibility, enhanced driver comfort, durability, and precision. OEM installations are favored for their reliability and alignment with advanced technologies such as EPS, ADAS, and vehicle telematics.
China Light Duty Truck Steering System Market held a 33% share, generating USD 443.5 million in 2025. Growth is driven by strong production of pickups and light commercial vehicles, investments in advanced automotive technologies, and the adoption of EPS, steer-by-wire, and ADAS-integrated steering solutions. Government support for new energy vehicles and stricter safety regulations are further boosting the use of modern steering systems.
