Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in its recent global electric vehicle ECU market report from 2017-2021. The market research report also lists 11 other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
Competitive vendor landscape
The electric vehicle (EV) ECU market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 46 percent by 2021, owing to the rising number of favorable policies by governments around the globe. Based on the specifications of the EV, ECU manufacturers develop and produce ECUs. Prices of ECUs are expected to reduce due to economies of scale with the rise in demand for EVs. This will intensify the competition among existing players in the market, says the research firm.
According to Neelam Barua, a lead analyst at Technavio for automotive electronics, “There are immense possibilities for growth in this market. Automotive ECU manufacturers can diversify into EV ECU manufacturing to cater to the potential increase in demand for EVs during the forecast period, which will help the market to grow further.”
