Global Automotive ECU Market

Automotive ECU is also referred as Automotive Electronic Control Unit which is defined as an embedded system of the vehicle for controlling various electrical subsystems. The automotive ECU can able to interpret a number of signals received from the sensors like manifold air pressure sensor, brake sensor, throttle sensor, and adjusts the various systems accordingly.



Automotive ECU is a family of computer systems which controls and maintains the entirety of electronic, mechanical, and electrical systems of vehicles. The growing adoption of autonomous driving technology in the form of driver assisted technologies including ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking), park assist, and Lane Departure Warming systems, has been propelling the market growth.

Market Drivers

The increase in preference for fuel efficient electric vehicles, self driving cars, and vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology is expected to drive the global automotive ECU market growth during this forecast period. The increase in awareness among consumers associated with the reduction in fuel consumption has led to substantial growth in demand for battery electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. HEVs are driven by multiple power sources which reduce the consumption of fuel and give the consumer smooth, positive, and quiet driving experience. This is expected to boost the global automotive ECU market growth.

The growing demand for technologically advanced vehicles in the developed and developing countries is one of the major driving factors which expected to propel the global automotive ECU market growth during this forecast period. Furthermore, the government rules and regulations to reduce fuel usage & the increase in demand for better mileage of the vehicles by the consumers will positively influence the market growth. The increase in penetration of advanced ECU systems with the provision to connect with the smartphones will support the market growth.

Market Restraints

The increase in complexity of automotive ECU is a major market restraint which expected to hamper the global automotive ECU market growth. Failure of the ECU may invalidate the engine’s fuel timing, and setting which will limit the growth of the global automotive ECU market over the forecast period.
