The expansion of the automotive industry is fueling the embedded system market growth. The key players in the market are partnering to develop high-performance embedded systems used in autonomous vehicles. For instance, in May 2022, Magna International Inc. partnered with BlackBerry Limited to develop next-generation ADAS solutions for automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Magna International Inc. is leveraging BlackBerry Limited’s various QNX software platforms, such as QNX Software Development Platform, QNX Platform for ADAS, and QNX OS for Safety in design engineering, validation and performance optimization roles, and systems integration. The partnership helps Magna International to develop high-performance and secure embedded systems for ADAS, autonomous driving, and infotainment systems, driving the market.

Technological giants worldwide are highly focused on research and development of new technologies. IoT is positioned at the core of the next-gen software technologies in the embedded system market. Embedded systems have a wide range of applications in the IoT sector. They are used to collect data, control and monitor devices, and communicate with users. An embedded system is capable of monitoring a room's temperature and adjusting the thermostat. It can also check a car's performance and alert the driver prior to any damage occurring. Embedded systems are a vital component of the IoT ecosystem and provide dependable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective benefits to businesses and individuals. Furthermore, IoT-based embedded systems are simple to upgrade and update offer a high level of security and are tamper-proof services to the users, which allows users to access the most recent features and functionality regularly.

IoT-based embedded systems can collect data from physical devices to help the user make intelligent decisions and communicate the results to the physical devices. The significant benefits offered by embedded systems are making them the future of connected devices and services. The extensive adoption of IoT is fueling the market growth. For instance, according to the Cisco Visual Networking Index, in 2022, there were more than 28 billion network devices enabled with embedded systems and powered by IoT. The network devices help users to improve connectivity and security and reduce additional operational costs of the business. The integration of embedded systems with IoT devices and platforms is enabling new applications and services in areas such as smart homes, smart cities, and industrial IoT. Also, the expansion of smart cities and smart home projects increases the demand for IoT-based embedded systems among consumers.

The embedded system market is broadly segmented into five major regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South America (SAM). Asia Pacific held the largest market share in 2022, followed by North America and Europe. Further, APAC is expected to register the highest CAGR in the market from 2022 to 2030.

Embedded systems play a crucial role in the consumer electronics industry. They are highly used in various consumer electronics devices such as smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, printers, smart TVs, gaming consoles, home appliances, wearable devices, digital cameras, smart speakers, and home security systems. These systems offer the essential speed and accuracy to ensure the seamless working of devices. Home security systems use peripheral sensors with embedded systems to ensure the safety and security of the house. Home appliances such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, and washing machines use embedded systems to collect input from users and control the appliance according to user specifications. They also use sensors to collect information about appliance functioning and modify settings accordingly.

The top five companies in the market Intel Corporation, Qualcomm Technologies Inc., Texas Instrument, STMicroelectronics, and Infineon Technologies AG. The above listing of key players is derived by considering multiple factors such as overall revenue, current well completion equipment and services portfolio, new product launches, market initiatives, investment in technology up-gradation, mergers & acquisitions, and other joint activities.
