Expanding Passenger Vehicle Sales With Uptake of Advanced Technologies Drive Chinese Steering Systems Markets

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Supported by rising demand for passenger vehicles, the total market for steering systems in China will register strong year on year growth. In this scenario, advanced technologies such as electronic power steering (EPS) systems, which offer benefits such as adaptive steering and greater fuel economy, will gain significant market share.

Frost & Sullivan (http://www.automotive.frost.com) finds that the Chinese Steering Systems Markets earned revenues of $563.3 million in 2005 and estimates it to reach $1,219.5 million in 2012.

We will send you the information via email upon receipt of the above information.

"Anticipating the promising future of advanced technologies such as EPS, more suppliers will start its mass production in China," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Arden Dai. "Backed by foreign assistance, some suppliers have already mastered the design and development of this technology even as a supply chain will soon be available."

However, the high cost of EPS systems, including column electronic power steering systems (CEPS), pinion electric power steering systems (PEPS) and rack electric power steering systems (REPS), will restrain adoption levels.

"The lack of a complete and mature supply chain will pose another hurdle to the more widespread adoption of EPS," cautions Mr. Dai. "For instance, the ECU and torque sensor developed by local suppliers is still immature and is mainly dependent on imported products, which ultimately increase system costs."

From a competitive standpoint, the shift from mainstream manual steering (MS) and hydraulic power steering (HPS) technologies to newer ones such as EPS holds growth potential for current suppliers and new entrants as well. Moreover, the emergence of these new technologies holds promise for both system and component suppliers.

"The expected localization of new steering technology opens a window for component suppliers in China," says Mr. Dai. "Moreover, the localization of EPS technology and increased production volumes could bring down prices in the next three to five years."
