ECU Market: Overview
The electronic control unit (ECU) is a combination of various regulating units that adjust actuators on the ICE in order to provide minute control over the functionalities such as oxygen content in the ICE, engine speed, and coolant temperature, among others. The ECU system is connected in tandem with the electronic system for computerized and precise examination of the engine components. The ECU in turn monitors and controls signals from a range of signals it receives from various mechanical components such as manifold air pressure sensor, throttle sensor, brake sensor and adjust the functionality to keep systems running at an optimum length.
ECU Market: Growth Factors
Collaboration between the automotive industry and OEMs for increased reliability of automobiles in a bid to keep them safe has driven the market growth for the ECU market. During the recent year due to limitations of technological advancements made in the field, every component would have to be wired to a different ECU unit. However, today’s integrated ECU units can perform several functions of multiple ECUs from one unit. Furthermore, reasons pertaining to increased demands from customers for increased safety factors beyond the traditional means, government regulations for reduction of fuel usages, raised adaptabilities of electric vehicles, ease of driving, and lower maintenance cost is pivotal in driving the growth of the ECU market in the sector.
Additional technological advancements in similar fields such as the ability of cell phone devices to connect with your vehicle to provide real-time data push the market in a positive manner. An increased concern for advanced driving assisting features also increased the footprint of the ECU market. Autonomous driving kits often contain a whole batch of interconnect ECUs to make sure hand’s free driving is possible and secure. The rise in the trend of autonomous vehicles along with a widened governmental and local body understanding of the technology will further increase the revenue generated by ECU substantially.
However, frequent counts of control safety features and the high costs associated with the ECU products might dampen the growth of the market to a fair share.
ECU Market: Segmentation
The global ECU market can be segmented on the basis of capacity, vehicle types, applications, propulsion, and regions.
On the basis of capacity, the ECU market can be segmented into 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit. The 32-bit unit has immense application scenarios in engine control systems, automotive power tools, infotainment systems, ADAS, display HUD’s and transmission-based systems to name a few. However, the 64-bit controller is expected to witness the highest growth CAGR during the forecast period owing to expanding performance demands from the consumer and the higher capabilities of the unit. On the basis of vehicle types, the market can be segmented into passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and others. The passenger vehicles dominated the market share in terms of revenue and is further expected to grow with the highest rate CAGR across the forecast period. Increasing customer demands for safer and viable options with advanced electronic support and the overall trend of deploying ECU in passenger cars is expected to push the category. On the basis of application, the market can be segmented into ADAS & safety, infotainment and communication, powertrain, body control and systems and others. On the basis of application, the category can be further broken down into ICE, battery-powered and hybrid. The ICE category is expected to retain the highest growth market share due to increased production across emerging economies. However, the electric and hybrid subcategories are expected to witness the highest growth CAGR due to various adoptability options from the world government over electric power.
