Parent Market Analysis
Our Technavio Research categorizes the global automotive steering gearbox market belonging to Auto Components industry. Our research report has extensively covered external factors influencing the parent market growth potential in the coming years, which will determine the levels of growth of the market during the forecast period.
Automotive Steering Gearbox Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post-COVID-19 era. The growing demand for high torque and performance in trucks is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the increasing cost of raw materials may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the automotive steering gearbox industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help deduce end goals and refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Automotive Steering Gearbox Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the market is the growing demand for high torque and performance in trucks. Technological advancements in commercial vehicles are comparatively slower than in passenger cars, but they are growing nonetheless. These improvements have raised the demand for higher torque, better steering control, and improved responsiveness of steering systems in the heavy-duty truck market, especially in Class 8 trucks [with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of more than 33,001lb]. These requirements in steering systems are met with developments in steering gears. For instance, TRW Automotive, a subsidiary of ZF Friedrichshafen, offers TAS series power steering gears for medium and heavy-duty on-highway commercial vehicles. The TAS series power steering gears are designed to meet the specific demands of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles as they have higher torque. Other benefits include increased reliability at low operating temperatures as these steering gears make use of automatic poppets for easy installation and an automatic bleed system to improve the lifespan of steering systems. These steering gears cost more than conventional steering gears but also ensure higher profit margins for manufacturers. Thus, with the demand for higher torque and performance growing, advancements in steering gears are expected to increase. Improvements in steering gears are expected to drive the global automotive steering market during the forecast period.
Key Automotive Steering Gearbox Market Challenge
The increasing cost of raw materials will be a major challenge for the market during the forecast period. The growing need for improving fuel efficiency is pushing automotive manufacturers to reduce vehicle weight without compromising on performance. A widely used material to replace iron and steel is aluminum. Most vehicle components are being replaced by aluminum as it is lightweight, and performance is superior. However, rising prices of this metal are exerting pressure on automotive components manufacturers. Decisions to slap sanctions on suppliers of aluminium have increased the cost of the material. The price of aluminum was up 23.5% in April 2018 from January 2018 and is expected to increase further during the forecast period. Therefore, manufacturers of automotive steering system components, including steering columns and steering gearboxes, which are made of aluminum, are expected to come under tremendous cost pressures, which will hinder the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
