Electric Vehicle ECU Market Future Projections and Industry Insights of the 2019-2025

Electric vehicles (EVs) are automobiles that run using power from a battery, wherein the power is converted to useful operation by an electric motor, with very little or no requirement of any kind of additional fuel. Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) require power electronics and electrical machines (PEEM) to function. These electronics devices allow the vehicle to use energy from the battery and assist in the propulsion of the vehicle, either in combination with an engine or on their own. In BEVs, the inverter (power electronics) takes direct current from the battery and converts it to alternating current (AC) before sending it to the motor. The electric motor (electric machine) uses the AC to power the wheels for propulsion by creating torque (mechanical power).

Read Report Overview: Electric Vehicle ECU Market

In electric vehicle electronics, an electronic control unit (ECU) is an embedded system that controls one or more electronics in an electric vehicle. EVs are making a significant impact on power systems and environment with miniaturized components and the reduction of greenhouse gases. EV ECU provides operation and gearshift strategies, torque coordination, high-voltage coordination, charging control, thermal management, monitoring, and much more for electric vehicles.

The global electric vehicle (EV) ECU market is projected to reach $17.77 billion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 22.49% during the forecast period 2019-2024. The growth of the EV ECU market is driven by the increasing adoption of electric vehicles, the growing demand for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and the rising popularity of infotainment systems in electric vehicles.

The market is segmented by ECU type, EV type, and region. By ECU type, the market is segmented into body domain module, motor control unit, battery management system, transmission ECU, infotainment ECU, and others. The body domain module segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand for advanced safety features and comfort features in electric vehicles.

The major factors hindering the market growth is the decentralized ECU architecture. Factors such as autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control, and potentially even autonomous driving capability will decrease the number of ECUs per vehicle. The decentralization of ECU will also affect the weight and cost of vehicle. For instance, the centralization will optimize wiring which reduces the overall weight of the vehicle and increases the efficiency. The centralization of ECU requires simpler protocols and fewer connections as compared to multiple ECUs.

By region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period, owing to the rising demand for electric vehicles in China and India.

Competitive Landscape

Earlier, the composition of automobiles was limited to mechanical machine before the introduction of the electronics in the automotive industry. An electronic component unit (ECU) plays an important role in the automotive electronics and as it controls one or more electrical system in electric vehicle. In the present scenario, electric vehicles have multiple ECUs depending upon the features in the vehicles. Moreover, the changing consumer behavior toward the environment and sustainable development is boosting the growth of electric vehicles, thus proliferating the market of electric vehicle ECUs.
