Global Dual-Pinion type Electric Power Steering System (DP-EPS) Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Dual-Pinion type Electric Power Steering System (DP-EPS) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1,993 million in 2025 to US$ 3,192 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2026 to 2032.

Dual-Pinion type Electric Power Steering (DP-EPS)—often also described as Dual Pinion-Assist EPS—is an EPS architecture in which the steering gear uses two pinions: a primary pinion focused on steering feel and vehicle dynamics, and a secondary pinion dedicated to applying motor assist to the rack. By separating the assist path from the steering input path, DP-EPS enables higher assist capability and greater packaging flexibility without sacrificing steering performance.

Upstream, DP-EPS is supplied as a mechatronic system that combines a steering gear (rack, pinions, housing) with an electric motor, ECU/control unit, sensors (e.g., torque/angle), and a reduction/drive mechanism. Downstream, DP-EPS is commonly positioned for vehicles with higher steering loads and for programs that need under-hood packaging freedom—including the ability to place the motor/controller with more flexibility—while still aiming for premium steering feel.

In 2025, global sales of Dual-Pinion type Electric Power Steering (DP-EPS) reached approximately 6,128 K units, with an average global market price of around US$ 316/unit. Production capacity varies significantly among manufacturers, with gross profit margins ranging from approximately 8% to 15%.

The outlook for DP-EPS is tightly linked to the structural shift toward larger, heavier vehicles and more constrained under-hood packaging. As SUVs and crossovers remain strong and vehicle platforms move toward higher axle loads and tighter packaging, steering systems must deliver higher assist and stable rack behavior while preserving a premium steering feel. DP-EPS addresses this by splitting responsibilities between the primary and secondary pinions, making it an attractive engineering solution across the mainstream “high-load yet feel-sensitive” passenger-vehicle band.

Growth is further supported by the combined effects of electrification and driver assistance. Electrified platforms tend to increase steering loads, favoring higher-output and more controllable EPS architectures; at the same time, advanced driver-assist functions raise expectations for lateral-control capability, diagnostics and functional robustness. Suppliers highlight tighter steering control-unit integration and redundancy concepts to improve safety and assist continuity, reinforcing DP-EPS adoption on higher-content vehicle programs.

Competitive boundaries are also becoming clearer: in higher-output ranges, DP-EPS can substitute for rack-assist solutions in some programs, and OEMs typically trade off cost, packaging, steering feel and feature requirements. For suppliers, success depends on delivering scalable platform families (covering different output/NVH/software targets) and proving stable industrialization and quality in high-volume OEM launches—factors that ultimately shape DP-EPS adoption pace and share.
