Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Market - Forecast(2021 - 2026)

 The increased demand for Commercial Vehicles and industrial vehicles is reflecting positively on the automotive powertrain control module (PCM) market. Due to the continuous depletion of fossil fuels, the stringent rules to operate automobiles in optimum manner have gained momentum. A PCM is one of the most important elements of an automobile. As per a report released by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), 98.9 million motor vehicles were produced globally in 2017.[1] The PCM market was valued at $29.53 billion in 2018 and is estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6.19% during the forecast period 2019-2025.

Asia-Pacific is the leading market for PCMs. The region is recognized for high sales of PCMs owing to the exponential growth of the automotive industry. ,. The emerging technologies have also contributed to the growth of the market. The APAC region accounted for 27.14% share of the global PCM market in 2018.

Global Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Market: Outlook

A power-train control module is an automotive component used in motor vehicles, general electric and hybrid vehicles. The control unit of a PCM consists of an engine control unit (ECU) and a transmission control Unit (TCU). The main functions of PCMs include the monitoring of the air-fuel ratio, and controlling the ignition time and the throttle valve.

A PCM acts as the brain of the vehicle and manages the charging, transmission, emission control, and communications systems along with other onboard control modules.

Global Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Market: Growth Drivers

·     PCM offers several benefits such as the lightness of weight, compactness, easy installation, and various other warning lights display for safety purposes. Therefore, PCM is gaining popularity among electric and hybrid car manufactures.

·     Rising demand for automatic transmission worldwide owing to various benefits it offers  such as less carbon emission, driving comfort, and fuel efficiency is driving the PCM market.

 

Global Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Market: Trends
