Automotive Steer-by-Wire System (SbW) Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Vehicle Type (Passenger cars, Light Commercial Vehicles, High Commercial Vehicles), By Component Type (Steering Actuator, Feedback Motor, Angular Sensors), By Drive Type (ICE, Electric) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The stringent government emission regulations have led automakers to make vehicle fuel-efficient and also compile with the rules. Owing to this, many automobile manufacturers are downsizing the vehicle to make it fuel-efficient by adopting advanced technologies. The steer-by-wire system replaces mechanical steering connection linkage with electronics, algorithms, and actuators between road wheels and handwheels. Thus resulting in lowering the overall weight of the steering system. The steer-by-wire also provides enhanced maneuverability with a variable steering ratio for the wide range of driving performance and comfort. Growing demand for the superior ride and driving comfort among the consumers is also expected to drive the automotive steer-by-wire system market over the forecast period.

The increasing awareness among the people about advanced technologies is also expected to propel the growth of the market. The high malfunction chances of the steer-by-wire are likely to hamper the growth of the steer-by-wire market. The high cost of this system is also expected to restrain the growth of the market over the forecast period.
