Overview of the global bus steering system market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global bus steering system market will grow steadily during the next four years at a CAGR of above 5% in terms of units by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the improved steering and yaw motion control for reduced accidents as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The development of safety systems and the high-efficiency rate of driver assisted safety technologies have made roads a safer place due to the reduction in on-road accidents. The advanced steering assisted safety technologies makes the steering mechanism more balanced and suitable for driving at different speeds by lowering vehicle yaw and lateral motions. These systems improve the safety quotient of the vehicle by enhancing the overall handling capabilities at adverse conditions. Moreover, these systems also work in sync with other torque assisted safety technologies and driver assisted systems such as electronic stability control by varying the force and steering angles between the front and rear wheels.

One of the latest trends in steering systems that is slowly gaining popularity in the market is steer-by-wire technology. Rapid developments in technology and the rising demand for safe driving are compelling bus steering system manufacturers to develop steer-by-wire technologies, which can electronically steer the vehicles. Steer-by-wire technology offers advantages such as improved performance and lesser engineering and manufacturing costs for the manufacturers. It also supports advanced functions such as parking maneuvers and helps boost productivity.
