Center and Drag Link Market to Grow with a CAGR of 5.50% through 2030

Rising demand for commercial vehicles, increasing emphasis on vehicle safety, and advancements in steering system technologies are the factors driving the market in the forecast period 2026–2030.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “Center and Drag Link Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2020-2030F”, The Global Center and Drag Link Market was valued at USD 1.21 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 1.67 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.50% during the forecast period.

The global Center and Drag Link market is evolving, driven by key factors such as growing vehicle production, increasing demand for advanced steering systems, and technological shifts in materials and manufacturing techniques. The continuous expansion of the automotive sector, particularly in the commercial vehicle segment, is driving the demand for durable, high-performance steering components. Center and drag links, which are essential for precise steering control, are increasingly being designed to meet the rising demands for vehicle safety, handling, and load-bearing capacity. With the rapid growth in the transportation and logistics sectors, the market for these steering components continues to thrive, particularly in the production of trucks, buses, and off-road vehicles.

Innovation is at the forefront of this market, with manufacturers focusing on the development of materials that enhance both performance and longevity. The demand for lighter, stronger, and corrosion-resistant materials, such as aluminum and advanced steel alloys, is pushing manufacturers to adopt new production methods. The increasing trend toward vehicle weight reduction to improve fuel efficiency and lower emissions is influencing the development of lighter steering components. Furthermore, innovations like heat-treated and anti-corrosive coatings are enhancing the durability of center and drag links, making them better suited for demanding environments and extended lifecycles.

The market is also experiencing shifts due to the increasing integration of electric power steering (EPS) systems. These systems offer improved energy efficiency, reduced maintenance, and better performance compared to traditional hydraulic systems, contributing to their growing adoption across vehicle platforms. As the automotive industry continues to evolve with electric and hybrid vehicle production on the rise, the demand for steering components designed to complement these next-generation vehicles is growing. Manufacturers are increasingly investing in smart, electronically controlled steering systems that integrate seamlessly with modern vehicle architecture. This shift is pushing the development of innovative drag link designs that ensure compatibility with electric power steering systems, further influencing market trends.
