IHS Markit expects the global power steering systems (PSS) market to grow at a CAGR of 1.8% from 2016 to 2023, to reach a market size of more than USD26 billion by 2023. The change is more prominent in the dominant electronic power steering (EPS) market, with an expected rise of 3.8% (CAGR) for the forecast period.
