Automotive Centralized Control ECU Market Size And Forecast

Automotive Centralized Control ECU Market size was valued at USD 62.3 Billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 87.2 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 4.30% from 2019 to 2026.

The market is growing due to increased acceptance of autonomous driving technology in the form of driver-assisted technologies such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), blind-spot detection, park assist, and Lane Departure Warning (LSW) systems. The Global Automotive Centralized Control ECU Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Automotive Centralized Control ECU Market Definition

A small device in the body of a vehicle called an electronic control unit (ECU) is in charge of controlling a specific function. Today’s vehicles may include 100 or more ECUs, which manage tasks ranging from the basic (engine and power steering control) to the luxurious (power windows, seats, and HVAC), as well as security and access (such as door locks and keyless entry). ECUs are also in charge of passive safety systems like airbags, as well as fundamental active safety features like automated emergency braking. Depending on its role, an ECU gets data from various sections of the car.

When a passenger presses the door lock/unlock button on a car door or on a wireless key fob, for example, a door lock ECU receives input. Crash sensors and sensors that detect when someone is seated in a specific seat would provide input to an airbag ECU. In addition, forward-facing radars that detect when the vehicle is approaching an impediment too quickly would provide input to an automatic emergency braking ECU. The ECU would then communicate with actuators, instructing them to take action in response to the inputs.

The door lock ECU in our instances would trigger an actuator to lock or unlock the associated door. Depending on the location of the passengers, the airbag ECU would decide which airbags to deploy and then command the actuators to do so. To avoid a collision, the automated emergency braking ECU would apply the brakes. Space is becoming an issue as vehicle makers seek to add features and functions. That is, each new feature necessitates the creation of a new ECU, and OEMs are running out of space. This method of incremental improvement is also inefficient.

Global Automotive Centralized Control ECU Market Overview

As having more electronic control units per vehicle affects the economy, many automakers are partnering with OEMs to condense ECUs without compromising functionality. As a result, space is saved and the vehicle’s weight is reduced, lowering fuel consumption. Consumer awareness of the need to reduce fuel usage has resulted in a significant increase in demand for hybrid and battery electric vehicles. Hybrid electric vehicles use several power sources to lower fuel consumption while still providing a pleasant, smooth, and silent driving experience for the user. Due to the growing electric vehicle power train and battery management systems for electric vehicles, there is a significant demand for mass transit electric vehicles in addition to passenger cars.

Furthermore, regulatory agencies in a number of countries have enacted strict fuel emission laws in order to improve road safety. The European Commission and China, for example, together launched the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), which requires the deployment of automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning systems, ensuring the widespread use of active safety systems. China and Europe have also enacted stringent laws in order to lower their carbon footprint and promote the usage of electric vehicles as a viable alternative to conventional automobiles. These steps are expected to help the market thrive in the future. Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and augmented reality (AR) are projected to dramatically revolutionize the driving experience within the next decade.

BMW has already installed the augmented reality dashboard in their vehicles. By 2020, nearly 70% of the company’s cars will have AR dashboards, which will improve the human-machine interface even more. Furthermore, market growth is expected to be boosted by investments in the development of these technologies for improved vehicle performance. In the future years, demand for ECUs is likely to rise due to a growing focus on the manufacture of autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles with enhanced driver support systems and predictive vehicle technologies. Furthermore, in emerging economies, increased consumer awareness of car safety features such as airbags and anti-lock brake systems (ABS) is driving demand for automobiles with active and passive safety systems.
