The automotive steering system is responsible for controlling the vehicle's steering action, enabling the vehicle to turn accurately according to the driver's wishes. The steering system has evolved from manual steering (MS) to mechanical hydraulic power steering (HPS), and then to electronic hydraulic power steering (EHPS), and is currently developing towards electric power steering (EPS).
In the past, manual steering required the driver to directly manipulate the steering wheel to turn the front wheels. With the introduction of hydraulic power steering, the driver's operation became easier. Subsequently, the electro-hydraulic power steering system further improved steering accuracy and responsiveness. Now, electric power steering systems (EPS) have become mainstream. EPS no longer relies on hydraulic power devices but provides steering assistance through an electric power steering device. In the future, steer-by-wire (SBW) technology is expected to further drive the development of steering systems. At the same time, SBW can be combined with autonomous driving technology to achieve fully automatic steering and more advanced driving assistance functions.
Frost & Sullivan (Frost & Sullivan, abbreviated as 'Frost & Sullivan') has released the 'Global and China Automotive Steering System Market Development Analysis Report' through research and observation of the steering systems in the automotive industry. The report aims to provide a detailed analysis of the application of steering systems in passenger and commercial vehicles (including both OEM and aftermarket markets), offering insights into the industry.
