According to a new report, published by KBV Research, The Global Active Power Steering Market size is expected to reach USD 37.9 billion by 2033, rising at a market growth of 14.4% CAGR during the forecast period.
Growing demand for enhanced vehicle handling, improved driving comfort, fuel efficiency, and advanced driver assistance capabilities is driving adoption of active power steering across passenger and commercial vehicles. The market is being strengthened by electric vehicles, autonomous driving technologies, lane-keeping assistance, parking assistance, software-defined vehicle platforms, steer-by-wire systems, sensor integration, and intelligent steering technologies. Automakers are shifting from conventional hydraulic steering systems toward electronically controlled architectures that improve maneuverability, reduce energy consumption, and enable adaptive steering response. Rising safety expectations and demand for precise steering control are further expanding the role of APS across modern vehicle platforms.
The Passenger Car segment acquired the highest revenue share in the Global Active Power Steering Market by Application in 2025, thereby, achieving a market value of USD 28.4 billion by 2033. Passenger cars represent the major application area as automakers increasingly integrate electronically controlled steering to improve comfort, maneuverability, vehicle stability, and compatibility with driver-assistance systems. Adoption is also supported by electric and hybrid vehicle platforms that require efficient and software-compatible steering architectures. Active steering improves the driving experience by enabling smoother control across parking, lane assistance, and variable-speed driving conditions. Growing integration of ADAS features in passenger vehicles is further increasing the importance of precise steering actuation.
The Electric segment acquired the highest revenue share in the Global Active Power Steering Market by Type in 2025, thereby, achieving a market value of USD 24.9 billion by 2033. Electric active power steering is gaining strong preference due to its energy efficiency, reduced mechanical load, compatibility with EVs, and ability to support software-controlled steering functions. These systems help automakers reduce energy losses and support fuel-efficiency and EV-range optimization goals. Electric steering architectures also provide a stronger foundation for ADAS integration, steer-by-wire development, and intelligent chassis control. As vehicle platforms become more electrified and software-defined, electric APS is becoming increasingly important for modern mobility systems.
The North America segment recorded the highest revenue share in the Global Active Power Steering Market by Region in 2025, thereby, achieving a market value of USD 13.1 billion by 2033. The region benefits from advanced automotive electronics adoption, ADAS penetration, vehicle electrification, and strong demand for software-controlled chassis systems. Automakers and suppliers across North America are integrating active steering technologies to improve safety, maneuverability, driver comfort, and compatibility with autonomous driving functions. Demand is also supported by premium vehicle platforms, EV development, and increasing use of electronic vehicle-control systems. Continued investment in intelligent steering, steer-by-wire, and vehicle motion-control technologies is expected to maintain North America's leading market position throughout the forecast period.
