This motor vehicle steering and suspension components (except spring) market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future state of the industry.
The motor vehicle steering and suspension components (except spring) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $98.44 billion in 2023 to $106.84 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several key factors, including the mass production of automobiles, the development of road infrastructure, innovations in steering and suspension systems, and the implementation of automotive safety regulations. These factors have collectively contributed to the expansion of the motor vehicle steering and suspension components industry.
The motor vehicle steering and suspension components (except spring) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $147.5 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several key factors, including the increasing adoption of electric and autonomous vehicles, the use of lightweight materials in steering and suspension components, the development of enhanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), a focus on improving ride comfort and handling, and the effects of global urbanization on the automotive industry. Significant trends expected in the forecast period encompass the use of electric power steering (EPS), the integration of adaptive suspension systems, the adoption of air suspension systems, efforts to enhance durability and longevity of components, and a growing emphasis on environmentally friendly materials in the production of steering and suspension systems for motor vehicles.
The growth of the motor vehicle steering and suspension components (except spring) market is notably influenced by the poor quality of roads. These components play a pivotal role in maintaining the stability of motor vehicles, particularly on rough and uneven road surfaces. The wear and tear induced by potholes and inadequate road conditions contribute to the deterioration of steering and suspension components, subsequently elevating the risk of accidents. As per data from the U.S. National Transportation Research Group (TRIP), approximately 71% of roads in the San Francisco-Oakland area were in poor condition, resulting in an average annual cost of $1,049 for drivers in vehicle operating expenses. The absence of standardized road maintenance leading to rough roads with potholes fuels the demand for the motor vehicle steering and suspension components (except spring) market.
Anticipated growth in new vehicle sales stands as a significant driver propelling the motor vehicle steering and suspension components (except spring) market. These components are integral in ensuring precise control over vehicle direction and maintaining tire-road contact for optimal ride comfort and stability. Recent statistics from MarkLines Co, a Japan-based advertising agency company, highlight the surge in US new vehicle sales, reaching 1,340,921 units in September 2023, reflecting a substantial 19.3% increase compared to the figures from September 2022. This rise in new vehicle sales significantly fuels the growth of the motor vehicle steering and suspension components market.
The increasing popularity of electric vehicles across the globe poses a restriction on the growth of the motor vehicle steering and suspension components (except spring) market. The growing adoption of electric vehicles necessitates specialized steering and suspension systems tailored for these new vehicles, thereby reducing the demand for traditional motor vehicle steering and suspension components. Manufacturers will need to adapt and innovate to meet the unique requirements of driverless and electric vehicle models. As per the International Energy Agency (IEA), Norway alone hosts approximately 5 million electric passenger cars, backed by government incentives such as exemptions from road tax, reduced VAT on sales, toll discounts, parking benefits, and access to bus lanes. The overall costs involved in adjusting to the evolving demands stemming from the rising popularity of electric vehicles act as a constraint on the growth of the motor vehicle steering and suspension components market.
The latest industry trend revolves around the implementation of cutting-edge suspension systems featuring the newly developed Magnetic Ride Control (MRC or MagneRide) technology pioneered by General Motors (GM). This innovative magnetic damper technology significantly enhances the suspension system's performance, providing a smoother and more refined driving experience. The MRC employs a specialized fluid infused with magnetized particles, functioning as electronically controlled shock absorbers that adapt to real-time changes in driving conditions and speed. These shock absorbers dynamically respond to varying terrain, synchronizing with automobile sensors every five milliseconds. Cadillac, in line with this technological wave initiated by General Motors, integrated the latest magnetorheological fluid technology into its new models, the 2022 CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing. This incorporation aims to offer the fastest reactive suspension technology, delivering a seamless driving experience in vehicles.
