Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/03/2016 -- Automotive ECU or Electronic Control Unit is a family of computer systems that controls and maintains the entirety of electronic, electrical and mechanical systems of a vehicle. ECU can be classified based on the functions such as Engine Control Module (ECM), Body Control Module (BCM), Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM), Powertrain Control Module (PCM), Transmission Control Module (PCM), Suspension Control Module (SCM), Door Control Unit (DCM), Battery Management System (BMS), General Electric Module (GEM) and others. Automotive functions ranging from the movement of the windows to the amount of air-fuel mixture required for each engine cylinder has an ECU system embedded with it which is recorded, analyzed and stored in the microcontroller. Technological advancements in automotive technology has led to an increase in implementation of complex ECUs in a vehicle. Some of the automobile models running today on the roads have more than 80 different ECUs present in it.

Automotive ECU Market Dynamics

Increased demand for technologically advanced vehicles like hybrid cars in the developed and developing countries is one of the major factors driving the growth of ECU market. Government regulations to reduce fuel usage and increasing demand for better mileage of the vehicles by the general public is another major factor leading to high growth of ECU market in the automotive industry. The steady growth of alternative vehicle choices such has the hybrid and pure electric cars in the developed nations has contributed significantly to the ECU market due to high complexities of these vehicles over conventional vehicles. Driver safety, security concerns, ease of driving, low maintenance demanded by the customers are also some of the factors driving the growth of ECU market.
