Introduction
The global automotive steering wheel market is witnessing steady growth anchored by rising vehicle production and enhanced safety mandates. According to a report by Stratview Research, automotive steering wheel market  key segments such as passenger cars, small-diameter wheels, and traditional (normal) technology types remain dominant through the period to 2025.

Key Features
Modern steering wheels incorporate more than mechanical control—they include airbag integration, multi-function switches, premium materials and safety-compliance elements. According to the report, “small-sized steering occupies the largest share… due to its high use in passenger cars, especially in hatchback and mid-size sedan cars”. Also, while the “normal steering wheel” remains the dominant technology type, “control embedded steering wheel is expected to grow at a faster rate”.

Applications
The market spans vehicle types: passenger cars, light commercial vehicles (LCVs), and medium & heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Stratview indicates that the passenger car segment is expected to remain the most dominant, driven by higher production volumes and growing demands for safety and comfort. Regionally, the Asia-Pacific market is projected to lead, supported by rapid growth in countries such as China and India.

Trends
Key trends shaping the market include:

• The shift from large to small-diameter wheels, thanks to compact vehicle designs and greater focus on ergonomics and comfort.
• Growth of control-embedded steering wheels, aligning with rising infotainment, safety and driver-assist system integration.
• The Asia-Pacific region emerging as a high-growth zone thanks to increasing vehicle build and ownership rates.

Opportunities
Significant opportunities exist in retrofitting older vehicles with upgraded wheel technologies, expanding penetration of control-embedded wheels in premium and mass segments, and leveraging growth in emerging markets. Also, materials innovation and safety-compliance driven upgrades present supplier advantages.
