Global Column Assist Type Electronic Power Steering (C-EPS) Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Column Assist Type Electronic Power Steering (C-EPS) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 7125 million in 2025 to US$ 8127 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.9% from 2026 to 2032.
Column Assist Type Electronic Power Steering (C-EPS) is an EPS architecture where the electro-mechanical assist unit (electric motor + reduction/assist mechanism) is mounted on the steering column, applying assist torque directly to the column shaft so the driver’s input is amplified before being transmitted through the intermediate shaft to the steering gear/rack.
Upstream, a C-EPS module is essentially a mechatronic column assembly: motor and inverter/ECU, torque/angle sensing, reduction gearing, bearings, housings and a crash-safe steering column structure.
Downstream, C-EPS is delivered by steering Tier-1s as a column/assist module into OEM vehicle platforms, and is especially prevalent in mini/compact vehicles and other applications where under-hood space is limited and required assist levels are moderate—while “high-output” column-assist variants can extend coverage to heavier segments. As part of the broader EPS family, it also supports modern vehicle functions and is positioned by suppliers as an enabler for automated-driving related steering functions.
In 2025, global sales of Column Assist Type Electronic Power Steering (C-EPS) reached approximately 35.5 million units, with an average global market price of around US$ 205/unit. Production capacity varies significantly among manufacturers, with gross profit margins ranging from approximately 8% to 15%.
Column-Assist EPS wins on cockpit-oriented integration: the assist unit is mounted on the steering column, which aligns well with modular interior assembly and typically delivers a cost-effective, packaging-friendly solution for compact vehicle platforms. Leading suppliers explicitly position column-assist EPS for small and mid-sized vehicles and emphasize efficiency and low-maintenance advantages versus hydraulic steering, supporting its long-standing penetration in entry-level and value-focused segments.
Its outlook is shaped by a push–pull between vehicle mix and feature requirements. Demand from cost-sensitive markets and urban-oriented small cars continues to favor column-assist solutions, backed by mature manufacturing scale. In contrast, the shift toward heavier SUVs and electrified platforms raises steering loads and moves some programs to pinion-assist or dual-pinion architectures. To defend and extend its sweet spot, suppliers keep upgrading C-EPS with brushless designs, tighter motor/controller integration and more advanced control/diagnostics for driver-assistance needs—helping it stay competitive wherever steering assist requirements remain moderate.
