“Steering Wheel will account for the largest and fastest-growing component racing simulators market by 2030.”
The steering wheel is estimated to be the leading and fastest-growing component in the racing simulator market over the forecast period. An usual steering wheel commonly includes buttons, paddle shifters, rotary knobs, and digital displays and closely copy the ones seen in real race cars. The advanced steering system incorporates force feedback technology to imitate the resistance and vibrations felt while driving on various surfaces or making maneuvers. Steering wheels featuring on-board displays offer customization options, allowing users to tailor the displayed information through provided software. There are different types of styles, choices, and customization options available in steering wheels including licensed steering wheels from BMW, McLaren, and Porsche. However, owing to the higher cost, these steering wheels with advanced control mechanisms are installed in the mid- & full-scale racing simulators. Companies like Logitech, Thrustmaster, and Fanatec are at the forefront, offering steering wheels with features such as magnetic sensors for precise control, direct drive systems for unparalleled force feedback, and compatibility with virtual reality setups for an even more immersive experience. Hence, to make the virtual racing experience more engaging and connected to reality, several advancements are on broad leads to influence consumer preferences and drive the extended demand for advanced steering wheels in mid- to full-scale racing simulators.
