Automotive Steering Sensors Market Global Report 2026

The automotive steering sensors market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.3 billion in 2025 to $7.91 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%.The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the growing adoption of electronic power steering technologies, increasing demand for enhanced vehicle maneuverability, expanding integration of vehicle stability control systems, rising utilization of electronic steering components, and increasing emphasis on automotive steering safety.

The automotive steering sensors market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.75 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for highly accurate steering sensing, growing adoption of advanced steering assistance capabilities, rising need for redundant steering sensor configurations, increasing demand for dependable steering input monitoring, and greater integration of steering sensors with vehicle control systems. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of high-precision steering angle sensors, increasing demand for integrated steering torque and position detection, expanding use of redundant steering sensing configurations, rising demand for compact and robust steering sensors, and increasing adoption of real-time steering input detection.

The rising vehicle production is expected to drive the growth of the automotive steering sensors market going forward. Vehicle production refers to the manufacturing and assembly of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and other motor vehicles incorporating mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems. Vehicle production is increasing due to growing transportation requirements, as individuals and businesses increasingly depend on vehicles for commuting, freight transportation, and other mobility needs. The expansion of vehicle production contributes to the demand for automotive steering sensors, including steering angle, torque, and position sensors, which are utilized in electronic power steering, ADAS, and autonomous driving systems. For instance, in March 2024, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), a Belgium-based automotive association, global car production totaled 76 million units in 2023, marking a 10.2% increase compared with 2022, while global new car sales rose by nearly 10% in 2023 compared with 2022. Therefore, the rising vehicle production is driving the growth of the automotive steering sensors market.

The increasing adoption of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is expected to drive the growth of the automotive steering sensors market going forward. Advanced driver assistance systems refer to electronic vehicle systems that employ sensors, cameras, and software to support drivers in safe driving and parking by improving vehicle awareness, automating specific driving functions, and minimizing the likelihood of collisions. The demand for advanced driver assistance systems is increasing due to growing concerns regarding road safety and the need to reduce traffic accidents through real-time driver assistance and automated safety functions. As advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) increasingly improve vehicle safety, automation, and real-time decision-making by accurately monitoring steering, braking, throttle position, and wheel speed, automotive steering sensors have become essential for delivering precise, dependable, and contactless steering angle and position detection. For instance, in October 2024, according to the MITRE Corporation, a US-based not-for-profit organization, advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have recorded substantial market expansion, with 10 of the 14 ADAS features achieving more than 50% penetration by the 2023 model year and five features exceeding 90% adoption. Therefore, the increasing adoption of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is driving the growth of the automotive steering sensors market.

Key companies operating in the automotive steering sensors market are focusing on developing advanced products such as inductive steering sensors to enhance steering precision, functional safety, electromagnetic interference immunity, and reliability in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and electric power steering (EPS). Inductive steering sensors are non-contact position and torque sensing devices that use electromagnetic induction to accurately measure steering angle and torque, providing greater accuracy, improved immunity to stray magnetic fields, and enhanced durability compared with conventional magnetic or contact-based steering sensors. For example, in June 2025, Infineon Technologies AG, a Germany-based semiconductor company, launched the XENSIV TLE4802SC16-S0000, an inductive sensor designed for high-performance automotive chassis applications. The sensor integrates a coil system driver, signal conditioning circuits, and a digital signal processor (DSP) into a single package to deliver high-precision torque and angle measurements with robust stray-field immunity. It supports SENT and SPC digital communication protocols, features overvoltage and reverse polarity protection, complies with ISO 26262 for functional safety, includes built-in cybersecurity against man-in-the-middle attacks, and is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 for operation across temperatures ranging from -40°C to 150°C.
