Automotive Electronic Control Unit Market

The Global Automotive Electronic Control Unit Market size was estimated to be US$ 61 billion in 2019 and the expected CAGR through 2030 is 3.5%. Expansion of automotive industry, increased investment in research and development of advanced automotive electronic systems and increasing investment in development of autonomous vehicles are the major growth influencing factors of the global automotive electronic control unit market. The automotive industry has expanded significantly during past decade and has witnessed continuous advancement in vehicle control technology. An automotive electronic control unit is an embedded system responsible for monitoring and control of electrical and electronic subsystem in an automobile.

Emergence of automotive electronic control units has intensified the competition in the automotive industry globally with North America and Europe being the forerunners in technology development. Electronic control unit is used to control the sub-systems in an automobile for improved performance, enhanced safety and reduced carbon emissions. An automobile consists of different electronic control units such as engine control module (ECM), transmission control module (TCM), powertrain control module (PCM), central control module (CCM), brake control module (BCM or EBCM), central timing module (CTM), body control module (BCM), general electronic module (gem), suspension control module (SCM) and so on.

Depending on the electronic system architecture of an automobile, an automobile may consist of single electronic control unit to monitor and control all the sub-systems or dedicated electronic control units for all the essential sub-systems. To achieve high operational efficiency, automotive manufacturers are focusing on deployment of dedicated electronic control unit to control and monitor individual sub-system. This is anticipated to bolster the growth of the global automotive electronic control unit market. However, due to disruption in automotive supply chain and production activities across the globe amidst the COVOD-19 pandemic, the global automotive electronic control unit market is anticipated to witness reduced demand during coming years.

Asia Pacific contributed a dominating share to the global automotive electronic control unit market in 2019 and is anticipated to be a dominating segment throughout the forecast period owing to presence of major automotive electronics manufacturers across major countries in East Asia. Increased investment in development of advanced automotive electronic systems and control technologies by leading players operating in the market is anticipated contribute towards the growth of Asia Pacific automotive electronic control unit market during the forecast period. North America and Europe are anticipated to be at the forefront of technology development during forecast period.
