An automotive electronic control unit (ECU) is embedded in vehicles to control electronic systems and subsystems. It also assists in collecting input from its sensors or other ECUs and relying on actuators to manage the functionalities of automobiles. Some of the commonly integrated automotive ECU are the powertrain control module (PCM), engine control module (ECM), parking aid module, transmission control module (TCM), skid control module, and seat belt control ECU.

Automotive Electronic Control Unit (ECU) Market Trends:

At present, there is a considerable rise in the sales of electric vehicles (EVs) across the globe. This, in confluence with the thriving automotive industry, represents one of the key factors impelling the growth of the market. Moreover, automotive ECU comprises in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems that offer handset integration and head-up display for driver assistance, interior personalization, and cloud-based infotainment. It also enables users to customize their cars and infotainment systems with user experience data, music, apps, themes, and colors of their choice to enhance their driving experience. Besides this, governing authorities of numerous countries are mandating the incorporation of safety systems in a vehicle, including an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and adaptive front lighting system (AFS), to increase road safety. This, coupled with the increasing adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in vehicles to reduce vehicular accidents and fatalities, is escalating the demand for automotive ECU around the world. Furthermore, key players operating in the industry are focusing on product innovations to offer better services, which is positively influencing the market. Other factors, including technological advancements and rising safety concerns among the masses, are projected to stimulate the market growth in the upcoming years.
