Automotive Steering Torque Sensor Market Global Report 2026

The automotive steering torque sensor market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.27 billion in 2025 to $2.48 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing adoption of electric power steering systems, increasing demand for improved steering control, rising vehicle production across passenger and commercial segments, increasing focus on vehicle handling and stability, and expanding adoption of electronic steering control systems.

The automotive steering torque sensor market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.5 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for high-precision steering torque measurement, increasing adoption of sensor-based steering systems in electric vehicles, rising demand for compact and lightweight torque sensors, growing preference for non-contact steering torque sensing, and expanding demand for advanced steering control systems. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of high-accuracy steering torque measurement, increasing demand for compact steering torque sensors, rising preference for non-contact torque sensing systems, increasing integration of torque sensors with electric power steering systems, and growing demand for reliable real-time steering torque detection.

The increasing vehicle ownership is expected to propel the growth of the automotive steering torque sensor market going forward. Vehicle ownership refers to the possession and use of motor vehicles, including passenger cars, multipurpose vehicles, pickup trucks, vans, and other road vehicles, by individuals or organizations for transportation purposes. Increasing vehicle ownership is driven by rising disposable incomes, which strengthen consumers' purchasing power and allow more individuals to afford personal vehicles. Increasing vehicle ownership drives demand for automotive steering torque sensors, as a larger vehicle fleet increases the need for electronic power steering systems that use torque sensors to measure driver steering input and deliver precise steering assistance, improved handling, and enhanced vehicle safety. For instance, in April 2026, according to the Department for Transport (DfT), a UK-based government department responsible for transport policy and infrastructure, comparing 2025 with 2024, the UK recorded 2,617,000 vehicles registered for the first time, representing an increase of less than 1%, while the number of licensed vehicles reached 42.3 million. Therefore, the increasing vehicle ownership is driving the growth of the automotive steering torque sensor market.

Key companies operating in the automotive steering torque sensor market are concentrating on developing advanced sensing solutions, such as inductive torque and angle sensors, to improve steering precision, enhance functional safety, and enable dependable contactless sensing in electric power steering systems. Inductive torque and angle sensors refer to electronic sensing devices that employ electromagnetic induction to accurately measure steering torque and angular position without physical contact, providing dependable performance in demanding automotive environments. For instance, in June 2025, Infineon Technologies AG, a Germany-based semiconductor company, launched the XENSIV TLE4802SC16-S0000 inductive sensor designed for electric power steering systems, including torque and steering angle sensors. The sensor provides high-precision torque and angle measurements, SENT/SPC digital output, stray-field robustness, AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification, and ISO 26262 compliance, supporting precise and reliable steering control in automotive applications.

In July 2026, Gabriel India Limited, an India-based manufacturer of automotive components, acquired a 30% minus one share stake in HL Klemove India Private Limited from HL Klemove Corporation for approximately $98.44 million and formed a joint venture with the company. Through this acquisition, Gabriel India seeks to strengthen its presence in automotive electronics and broaden its capabilities in torque and torque-angle sensor technologies for steering applications. HL Klemove India Private Limited is an India-based automotive electronics company providing torque/torque-angle sensors, including torque-only sensors and torque-and-angle sensors, for electric power steering systems.
