Automotive Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering Market Segment Analysis - By Application
The application segment is segmented into Commercial Vehicle and Passenger Vehicles. The passenger vehicle is expected to grow at 7.1% CAGR through 2026 due to increased demand for sedans, luxury sedans, and mid-range vehicles that have robust steering systems to ensure seamless drivability. Commercial Vehicle market is also expected to grow at a fast pace as electro-Hydraulic power steering saves more fuel compare to hydraulic power steering.
Automotive Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering Market Segment Analysis - By Component
The component is segmented into Steering motor, Sensors and other. Automotive Electro hydraulic steering system is driven by the growing adoption of sensors. Sensors are anticipated to grow at a fast rate of 7.5% during the forecast period. Measuring the steering wheel position angle and rate of turn provide critical information are collected by the sensors in the power steering. The scan tool will typically display this information in degrees. The steering angle sensor is a part of a sensor cluster in the steering column. The sensor cluster will always have more than one steering sensors, few sensor clusters have three sensors to confirm the data. Clusters and sensor modules are connected to a Controller Area Network bus that connects various modules in the vehicle.
Automotive Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering Market Segment Analysis – By Geography
APAC region has the highest share in production of both commercial and passenger vehicles thus resulting in market share of 35.5% in 2020 in the eletro hydraulic steering market. ROW is expected to grow its market share at fastest rate due to increased sales of luxury vehicles in the region. North America and Europe are providing the stable demand among the segmented regions. Europe is one of the key maturing regions that will generate creditable opportunity in the global automotive electric power steering market over the forecast period due to the existence of significant automotive manufacturer presence.
Automotive Electro- Hydraulic Power Steering Market Drivers

The growing demand for sport utility vehicles and other passenger cars are the major factors which are driving the need for Electro Hydraulic steering market. The deployment of mass production techniques and the use of technology such as artificial intelligence, machine learning are further boosting the automobile industry which will in turn drive the growth of the market.
Increased Focus on Automotive Safety
To improve the safety of the vehicles, companies have started developing impact absorbing steering columns. Companies such as NSK are involved in developing collapsible columns which can absorb load during a collision. The company is also developing pivot tilt steering column and Telescopic Steering Column for Trucks which adds rigidity for heavy vehicles. Robert Bosch’s steering column system technology, Servo electric enables driver assistance functions and helps to reduce the vehicle’s fuel consumption. The production of this technology marks the first time that Bosch is producing this innovative steering system in Mexico.
Automotive Electro- Hydraulic Power Steering Market Challenges
Increased Automation in power steering has in turn increased the price of the cars; this will affect the sales due to its high cost with potential preference for non-power steering systems due to potential cost factors. Challenges also faced in upgrading the vehicles from the traditional steering to electro hydraulic steering as the cost of the upgrading is too high. This will result in resistance from the vehicle owners to change their steering systems.
Automotive Electro- Hydraulic Power Steering Market Landscape
