Steering damper Market

Global Steering Damper Market – Overview

The automotive industry has been witnessing numerous transformations since the past couple of years. A sports performance vehicle is optimized for speed, acceleration, stability and cornering at higher speeds but at the expense of comfort and fuel economy compared to other vehicles. Usually, sports vehicles have comparatively shorter wheelbase for better maneuverability along with aggressive steering geometry. However, stability is achieved by compromising comfort.

As the name suggests, a steering damper, also known as steering stabilizer, is a shock absorber that is installed to damp the undesirable oscillation of steering mechanism of the vehicle, which is also known as motorcycle wobble. The steering helps to damp small impacts, irregularities, bumps and other events that may jostle the steering mechanism. The steering damper absorbs the shakes & jerks and dissipates the absorbed energy reducing vibrations.

The steering damper allows achieving desired stability while braking, accelerating and cornering and even simply riding at higher speeds. In short, steering damper helps to attain improved handling by modulating the driver’s input. Nowadays, different auto manufacturers are integrating ABS into small capacity vehicle as well, and it is anticipated that soon automotive manufactures will incorporate steering dampers for mid-range capacity vehicle as well. By considering the pointers mentioned earlier, the global market for steering damper is foreseen to auger well during the forecast period.

Global Steering Damper Market – Market Dynamics

Powerful engines, shorter wheelbase and aggressive steering geometry are the essential traits of a performance vehicle. The sole purpose of steering damper is to damp the amplitude of undesirable vibrations for better stability. As the vibration produced by smaller capacity engines are week which does not allows them to cause instability while riding. Smaller capacity engine vibrations are not significant enough because of the instability while riding. However, for engines with higher capacity, the vibrations are substantial.

The increasing trend of motorsport is one of the factors attracting the audience attention towards motorbikes with more top capacity engines, which is further foreseen to fuel the need for steering damper. The foremost steering damper manufacturers are investing significantly in motorcycle stability by effective integration of technology, design and workflow. Owing to the benefits mentioned above, the steering damper is anticipated to gain traction by the end of the forecast period.
