Automotive Engine Management System Market

Market Overview

The global automotive engine management system market size was valued at USD 144 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 260 billion by 2026 with an anticipated CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period, 2019–2026.

An automotive engine management system consists of a fuel pump, an engine control unit, and sensors, among other components. These components are essential for the efficient working of the engine and transfer the engine performance to the engine management system.

Market Dynamics

The global market for automotive engine management systems is growing at a considerable rate and is expected to retain the momentum during the forecast period. The increasing number of vehicles and preference for safety and luxury are among the key factors responsible for the growth of the global automotive engine management system market. The growing rental industry and increasing average time spent in vehicles have laid the foundation for the automotive engine management system market to prosper. In today’s world, people spend more time on the road traveling in their private vehicles or by other means of public transport. Therefore, the increasing amount of time spent on traveling by people is driving the growth of the global automotive engine management system market.

The increasing popularity of private vehicles over public transport is also expected to boost market growth. The implementation of stringent regulations associated to emission control by several government institutions such as European Commission (EU) and the U.S. Environment Protection Association (EPA) around the globe is expected to propel the market for engine management systems.
