According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Clock Springs market size was valued at US$ 3347 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 4172 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 3.2% during review period.
A clock spring, also called a power spring or spiral spring, is a flat metal strip wound in a spiral to store rotational energy, providing controlled torque for retraction, retrieval, or powering devices in a compact space, famously in watches, but also in cars for airbag/horn connections and in various mechanical systems needing smooth, circular motion. It works by winding around an arbor (center shaft) and uncoiling, releasing energy, with its core function being to allow continuous electrical connection (like in steering wheels) while the wheel turns.
Global clock spring production is projected to reach 94 million units by 2025, with an average price of $34.6 per unit. Gross margins typically range from 20% to 30%.
The upstream supply chain for clock springs mainly includes metal materials such as copper alloys, stainless steel, or high-elasticity steel strips, as well as engineering plastics, resins, conductive slip ring materials, and basic electronic components. Upstream costs are significantly affected by metal prices and material performance requirements. Downstream applications are concentrated and highly dependent on the automotive industry, forming the core of the demand side. Steering wheel systems in passenger and commercial vehicles dominate, used for the continuous transmission of signals and power for airbags, horns, multi-function buttons, and steering wheel heating. As the integration of steering wheel functions increases, the value per vehicle continues to rise. In new energy vehicles, steer-by-wire and advanced driver assistance systems drive demand for clock springs with higher reliability and longer lifespan. Additionally, there are smaller applications in construction machinery, special vehicles, and some industrial rotary connection scenarios, but the scale is relatively limited. Downstream customers are mainly OEMs and Tier 1 automotive parts suppliers, whose procurement emphasizes functional safety, durability, and consistency. They typically lock in supply relationships through long-term contracted suppliers and platform-based supply chains, resulting in high barriers to entry in the industry.
The development trend is characterized by highly integrated and modular designs, supporting more signal channels and data transmission, while evolving towards lightweighting, miniaturization, and high durability to adapt to smart cockpits and electrification platforms. Driving factors primarily stem from the recovery of global automotive production, the trend towards multi-functional steering wheels, and the stringent safety regulations requiring airbag system configurations. Obstacles include the continued pressure to reduce vehicle costs, long technology certification cycles, and the potential substitution risk from new energy vehicles for new wiring harnesses and wireless solutions.
