The COVID-19 outbreak and its effects on the electric steering market are outlined in the report, which provides an in-depth analysis post the coronavirus disease outbreak.
COVID-19 Analysis
Since the onset of the novel coronavirus, there has been a notable drop in vehicle sales in the space of just a few months, owing to the shutdowns across regions as well as the oil price fluctuations. Renowned automotive OEMs are adopting multiple tactics to mitigate the negative impact of the pandemic on their businesses by analyzing their dealerships to resume services. The short-term impact of COVID-19 in the automotive sector has led to shutting down of assembly plants in the United States (US), manufacturing interruptions across Europe and ceased export of Chinese components, in the face of the lockdown situation. After the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, the demand for commercial vehicles has significantly plummeted following the shutdown of almost every non-essential service across the globe.
However, till the time a COVID-19 breakthrough is not achieved, the electric steering industry can remain resilient, as a result of the ongoing efforts by leading companies to curb revenue losses by adopting recovery tactics such as mergers and acquisitions and more. Despite the significant impact of the COVID-19 impact on the automotive industry, online sale of vehicles can emerge as one of the growth boosters in the electric steering market.
Primary Drivers and Main Barriers
Some years back, electric steering was a common feature only in high-end vehicles or sports utility vehicles. However, over the years, the electric steering’s reliability has risen considerably, leading to its integration in almost all the segments of vehicle. Since the modern electric steering is more compact and has higher number of airbags and controlling features, its demand has mounted exponentially in recent years.
The growth of the electric steering market is dependent on the automobile manufacturing industry. The rigorous research and development for product innovation by several automotive companies also positively influences the worldwide market. The emergence of robust and more advanced steering mechanism has led to higher sales in the market. The intense competition among vendors and the resulting increasing focus on the development of self-driven, auto-pilot or electric vehicles benefits the electric steering market. Sensor has emerged as one of the most significant trends in the electric steering market, as it helps detect the torque and motion of the steering column.
Market Segmentation
The electric steering industry can be considered for type and vehicle type.
The types of electric steering are Column Assist Electric Power Steering or C-EPS, Pinion Assist Electric Power Steering or P-EPS and Rack Assist Electric Power Steering or R-EPS.
The vehicle types included in the study are commercial and passenger vehicles.
