Pitman Arms Market Overview:
A Pitman arms are used as a basic transmission component in the steering wheel mechanism of vehicles. Pitman arms are used to convert the angular motion of the shaft into linear motion used to steer the vehicles into the desired position. Drag link, ball joint, and idler arm are the main components of the pitman arm system. The drag link transfers the motion from the steering box to the central link which causes it to move in the left and right direction. The idler arm is used to hold the drag link in its position.
Increase in commercial vehicle production and hence increasing sales of the vehicles across the emerging economies across the globe are the factors considered to drive the pitman arms market growth. Moreover, increasing consumer preference towards SUV’s and sedan cars owing to their durability and high scale performance is the key supporting factor considered to drive the pitman arms market during the forecast period.
Market Dynamics:
Easy installation of the pitman arm system and increasing demand for commercial vehicles in the manufacturing and transportation sector across the globe are the factors considered to drive the pitman arm market growth. Furthermore, increasing development in the steering system owing to the demand for low-cost system for vehicles are the supporting factors driving the Pitman Arms market growth during the forecast period.
Increasing adoption of rack and pinion type of the steering system is the key restraining factor for the pitman arm market because rack and pinion type arrangement does not need any linkages as it works on gears and pinion type system. Furthermore, increasing raw material cost for Steel alloys and Iron and high import charges on above mentioned materials increase the demand for low cost and corrosion-resistant materials is the factor expected to create opportunities in the Pitman Arms market. Increasing use of carbon composites as an alternative for high carbon steel alloys is the factor expected to boost the pitman arms market growth opportunities during the forecast period.
Segment Analysis:
Commercial vehicles are dominating the Pitman Arms market:
Commercial vehicles were accounted for approximately increasing consumer demand for commercial vehicles owing to increasing use of heavy commercial vehicles in the transportation sector and manufacturing industry are the factors attributing pitman arms market growth across the globe. Furthermore, commercial vehicles manufacturers are still relying on pitman arms system of steering wheels for its high output to power ratio and easy adoption in heavy and light commercial vehicles.
According to Daimler Corporation, commercial vehicle sales are increased by 18% from the year 2020-2024 accounted for approximately 68% market share in 2025 owing to the increasing rate of production post-pandemic and high withstanding ability of commercial vehicles for a long period of time.
Use of Carbon Composite in Pitman Arms Market:
Carbon composites are gaining popularity as the replacement for metals used in the pitman arms system. High corrosion resistance and improved work dynamics of the steering mechanism are the factors attributing market growth of the carbon composite segment. Weight transfer is the main issue considered while manufacturing a steering mechanism and mechanical linkages should withstand the immense movement of the steering and wear and tear along with them. Wearing of mechanical linkages causes accidents on higher scales and therefore, carbon composites are being used nowadays to avoid the probable linkage failure.
According to National Road and Safety Organization, failure of steering system is the second most common cause of accident and accounts for approximately 32% accidents per year across the globe.
