Executive Summary
According to this report titled, 'Automotive Electronic Control Unit (ECU) Market,' the automotive electronic control unit (ecu) market was valued at $87.7 billion in 2020, and is estimated to reach $142.2 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2021 to 2030.An electronic control unit (ECU), also known as an electronic control module (ECM), is an embedded system in automotive electronics that controls one or more electrical systems or subsystems in a car or other motor vehicle. The significant applications of these control units in vehicle technology include, the advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) due to the requirement to control driving operations. It can also control passive and active safety functions, such as airbags and automatic emergency braking, thus driving product adoption. Furthermore, expansion of distribution and dealership networks by manufacturers globally gained profits and strengthened their industry presence. For instance, in March 2020, Robert Bosch GmBH & Nikola Motor Company formed a partnership to develop a fuel cell truck, which provides higher computing power for advanced functions. The reducing number of independent units supports future innovations by delivering a scalable platform for the complex e/e architecture, which is essential to support the advanced features of Nikola's trucks.
In addition, the automotive electronic control unit (ECU) market has witnessed significant growth in recent years, owing to rise in automotive production coupled with increasing safety standards, rise in installation of infotainment systems in vehicles, and increase in production of autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
