An aid for driving the car that the driver can use is an electric power steering system. An electric motor, sensors, a control module, wiring, connectors, a power supply, and an electronic input system are among the many components that comprise it. It is widely used in passenger cars, SUVs, crossovers, electric vehicles (EVs), performance cars, hybrid vehicles, lorries, buses, and other commercial vehicles. When compared to traditional power steering, electric power steering improves vehicle handling, maneuverability, and performance, as well as allowing drivers to effortlessly navigate through tight spaces. It also improves fuel efficiency, precision, maintenance costs, vehicle weight, and provides quieter and vibration-free operation.
Global Electro Hydraulic Power Steering Market Driving Factors and Challenges
One of the key reasons driving market expansion is the growing global demand for fuel-efficient automobiles. Electric power steering is a lightweight, compact, and long-lasting system that uses less power than standard hydraulic power steering, which improves vehicle performance, increases fuel efficiency, decreases weight, and increases trip range. Furthermore, increased public awareness of the negative environmental impact of fossil fuel consumption is serving as a growth-inducing force.
Furthermore, strong government laws to minimise pollution and greenhouse gas emissions are boosting product demand to improve vehicle performance and overall efficiency. Furthermore, the development of dual-pinion electric power steering designs is positively influencing market growth by providing a precise steering experience, reducing sensitivity to variations in steering load, and improving the feel, responsiveness, and accuracy of the steering mechanism.
Despite increased demand for electric power steering systems, this industry faces a number of obstacles. The higher expense of EPS vs traditional steering systems, as well as the lack of steering sensation, may hinder industry growth. The steering market is continually evolving due to the shifting dynamics of the automotive industry. In reaction to the introduction of driverless vehicles, OEMs are innovating their traditional steering systems. In an autonomous vehicle, for example, steer-by-wire technology will replace the entire steering system. With this type of steering system, the steering linkage of a standard electric power steering system is removed.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Electro Hydraulic Power Steering Market
The COVID-19 outbreak had a tremendous impact on the automotive industry as a whole. The outbreak has had a severe impact on the European vehicle industry, with the ACEA (European vehicle Manufacturers Association) reporting that car production losses in the EU had occurred. According to Boston Consulting Group (BCG), despite encouraging vaccine development news, significant risks remain, and the United States will take considerable time to recover to pre-COVID levels. This situation is expected to have an effect on the electric power steering system market, whose growth is directly related to vehicle production.
