Microcontroller Embedded Systems Market Share

ID: MRFR//0406-HCR | 145 Pages | Author: Swapnil Palwe| April 2024

The latest trends in embedded technologies across various sectors are evident in the microcontroller embedded systems market. One of these has been a push to integrate microcontrollers into different electronic devices ranging from consumer electronics to industrial machinery.

At the same time, the industry is witnessing an increasing reliance on sophisticated microcontroller architectures. As conventional ones become more powerful as well as energy efficient they now provide superior performance and functionality in embedded systems. These designs have found numerous applications such as Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets or even Automotive Systems thus making ARM based architectures popular due to their scalability and versatility.

However, this trend is leading to increased inclusion of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) characteristics among other things within microcontroller based solutions. This necessitates that microcontrollers can carry out complex computational tasks supporting neural network processing given the growing popularity of AI/ML applications.

Embedded systems connectivity is a significant catalyst that influences market sentiments. The rise of the Internet of Things and desire for interconnected devices has led to more emphasis on microcontrollers with built-in communication capabilities like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet among others. This connectivity trend enables smooth data sharing among embedded systems and therefore enables the development of smart environments where gadgets are able to communicate, work together as well as share information.

Moreover, there is a geographic shift in demand for embedded systems due to their growing usage in emerging markets. With industrialization and automation taking root in areas such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America, the use of microcontroller-based embedded systems is increasing for many applications. Manufacturers have targeted these markets through regional customization with local languages or low cost products leading to growth of global market for microcontroller-embedded-systems.

The automotive sector constitutes one of the main factors shaping market trends within this domain. With modern vehicles incorporating countless embedded systems ranging from CPU’s (Central Processing Units) controlling engines to an infotainment system in the car body design of any automobile. The shift towards electric cars by automakers, self-driving cars and connected vehicles demands for very sophisticated microcontroller solutions that can handle complex tasks.

Security issues are becoming important when considering market trends in this sector of microcontroller embedded systems. As more devices get connected on a daily basis, people become even more concerned about threats coming from cyber space. Consequently, manufacturers now include such security features as hardware encrypted based protection and secure boot mechanisms into their controllers in order protect unauthorized access to their own devices as well as potential vulnerabilities. In some applications regarding medical equipment and essential infrastructure data integrity plus user privacy should be put into consideration.

Cost efficiency remains one major determinant influencing trends in the Microcontroller Embedded Systems industry globally today with regards to price reduction means while still ensuring quality output since they tend not only focus on advanced features but affordability of MCU solutions should be considered too. Hence, manufacturers have been optimizing production and using affordable materials in their microcontroller embedded solutions as well as offering scalable products with advanced features but cost-effective ones. This trend is of utmost importance in industries where costs are a major consideration.
