According to a report by fortune business insights, the global automotive electronic control unit Market (ECU) is expected to reach US $84 billion by 2027. According to the report, it will grow at a CAGR of 1.7% during the forecast period.

If the engine is compared to the "heart" of a car, the "brain" is ECU. The relationship between it and various parts of vehicle performance can be seen in the following figure:

As more and more car buyers choose to adopt integrated ECU, it will lead to the sustainable development of the market. The electronic control unit aims to automate the core functions of the vehicle, which not only improves its efficiency, but also makes them safer and more intelligent. Integrated or single system ECU has become a substitute for a variety of ECU systems.

Why does the centralized preference of users lead to cost reduction? The report pointed out: "the reason why ECU components are expensive is that each ECU system has a set of independent components, so it is expensive. While the integrated ECU is a unified system, so it naturally reduces the cost of components, which also makes the design easier.

Similarly, in terms of test cost, it is also an integrated ECU with lower cost. For multiple ECU systems, testing requires more time and money, which increases the development cost. The integrated ECU performs better in cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency, so manufacturers are promoting its adoption, thus driving the growth of the market. "
