Electric power steering offers adjustable power, good steering control, and lesser fuel consumption. Due to this, the use of electric power steering is gradually increasing in commercial vehicles. As the structure and performance requirements of commercial vehicles are different than passenger cars, a single motor driving electric power system used in passenger cars would not be able to provide enough power and torque for a commercial vehicle.
Global Electric Power Steering (EPS) System Market was valued at US$ 27,733.11 Mn in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.9% over the forecast period to reach US$ 44,303.29 Mn in 2030. Asia Pacific accounted for over 33.4% of the global electric power steering (EPS) system market revenue, in 2021.

Electric power steering has emerged as an alternative to conventional steering systems such as electro-hydraulic and hydraulic systems. Electric power steering assists the driver with the help of an electric motor. This motor only turns on at the time of steering to help the driver, thus offering better fuel efficiency.
Moreover, electric power steering system eliminates the need for power steering pump that uses around 10HP load, especially in heavy vehicles. The EPS system consumes less than 80% energy than the conventional hydraulic system and increases the fuel efficiency of the vehicle by 2-3%, according to Coherent Market Insights, 2021. Owing to these benefits the use of electric power steering system is increasing across the globe.
Market Dynamics
The automotive industry is transforming, especially in the field of personal mobility, vehicle electrification, car connectivity, and autonomous driving. The increasing consumer demand for connected vehicles, digitalize in-car systems, and advanced driving assistance systems is expected to drive the global electric power steering (EPS) system market growth over the forecast period.
Moreover, the increasing popularity of advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) such as lane keep assist, lane departure warning, park assist, among others are expected to drive growth of the global electric power steering (EPS) system market in the near future.
Companies are introducing fail-safe operation technology to cope with the problems and malfunctions in electric power steering. Currently, Electric Power Steering (EPS) is equipped with an electromechanical control system that incorporates a dual circuit ECU and a motor in the steering mechanism. This system helps to maintain a vehicle’s movement and to stop it safely at the time of failure of the primary system. For instance, in May 2017, at JSAE Automotive Engineering Exposition, the largest exposition in Japan for automotive engineers Denso, a global automotive components manufacturers and Bosch, a multinational engineering and technology company showcased electric power steering system with a fail-safe mechanism composed of a dual circuit ECU and motor.
