North America Adaptive Steering Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

North America Adaptive Steering Market Outlook

The North America adaptive steering market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% between 2024 and 2032. The market is being aided by advancements in steering technology and the robust growth of the automotive sector.

Key Takeaways

• Electric power steering systems are 90% more efficient than hydraulic power steering systems in terms of energy consumption.

• Steer by wire technology is expected to gain significant popularity over the forecast period.

• Direct adaptive steering systems are expected to dominate the market demand.

Adaptive steering systems control the steering ratio of on-road vehicles by utilising a precision-controlled actuator, which can add/subtract the number of steering inputs received from the driver and automatically adjust the number of turns made by the front tyres of the vehicle. They stiffen and relax the steering system according to vehicle speed, which facilitates vehicle parking in tight spots and ensures a smooth journey at high speeds.

The market is driven by the global shift towards automation in the automotive industry aimed at boosting road safety. Moreover, the increased focus of automotive companies on ensuring customer satisfaction is driving innovations in interior vehicle design, which is also expected to leverage the North America adaptive steering market growth in the forecast period.

Key Trends and Developments

Development of active steering technology; increasing demand for adaptive steering from commercial vehicle manufacturers; growing popularity of electric power steering systems; and rise of haptics-based automated driving systems are the major trends impacting the market growth.

North America Adaptive Steering Market Trends

Steer-by-wire technology relies on the working of electronic sensors installed within the steering wheel, which monitors the driver inputs and sends electronic signals to the steering gear. These signals are checked by the vehicle’s control units, which consider the speed and the yaw rate of the vehicle to turn the car. Such innovations in adaptive steering design are expected to drive the North America adaptive steering market growth  in the forecast period.

Commercial vehicles’ components must be sturdy and able to tolerate shocks and vibrations of long, arduous journeys. To ease the driving experience of people, automotive companies integrate adaptive steering wheel systems into trucks, which reduces the impact of muscular strain on humans while enhancing road safety.

Market Segmentation

“North America Adaptive Steering Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:

Direct adaptive steering systems are expected to dominate the North America adaptive steering market share in the forecast period

Direct adaptive steering enables drivers to travel on bumpy roads easily while maintaining a tight grip on the steering wheel. This system interprets the steering inputs as electronic signals and guides the vehicle on its own while maintaining independent control over the angle of the tires, besides the steering force. It also provides a relaxed driving experience on highways by making small adjustments in steering automatically.

Rapid innovations in standard power steering systems, including the electronic power steering system, are expected to propel the North America adaptive steering market expansion over the forecast period.

Competitive Landscape

Major players in the North America adaptive steering market are researching upcoming technologies to boost the potential of innovative ADR management systems.

Other North America adaptive steering market players include Robert Bosch GmbH, ZF Friedrichshafen AG, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, and Nexteer Automotive Corp., among others.

North America Adaptive Steering Market Analysis By Region

The United States of America is expected to dominate the market in the coming years. This can be attributed to rising research and development activities, which facilitates rapid innovations in automotive and steering wheel design. The focus of the American government on making its automotive sector a world leader is also likely to lead to the North America adaptive steering market  in the forecast period.

The increase in the demand for heavy-duty commercial vehicles in Canada is also expected to favour the market growth. The growing adoption of active steering technology is expected to facilitate this trend in upcoming years.
