Automotive microcontrollers are integrated chips, which enable control over the automobile functioning. Compact microcontrollers comprising least component designs are integrated into automobiles for performing activities that need functionalities such as monitoring and controlling. The automotive microcontroller is a microcomputer integrated on a chip with the CPU as the core. It fully controls various electronic systems in the car, including but not limited to multimedia devices, audio systems, navigation devices, suspension and other key components. It can be said that the automotive microcontroller is the "brain" of the car, playing the core functions of "thinking, computing, and controlling".

The global key manufacturers of Automotive Microcontrollers (MCU) include Infineon Technologies, NXP Semiconductors, Renesas Electronics, Microchip Technology, etc. In 2023, the global top four players had a share approximately 76.0% in terms of revenue.

The demand for automotive controllers with higher capacities and performance is increasing from the automotive industry. Vendors of the automotive microcontrollers have been focusing on catering to the needs to increase customer base. For instance, Renesas Electronics developed a flash memory technology for automotive microcontrollers. The technology allows microcontrollers to achieve higher capacity, faster readout speeds, and over-the-air (OTA) support. These beneficial factors are expected to boost the adoption of automotive microcontrollers with new flash technology, which is one of the key automotive microcontrollers (MCU) market trends. OTA is crucial in maintaining the safety and security of vehicles. Therefore, the trend will have a positive influence on market growth over the forecast period.

Technological innovations have an important role in driving the growth of the market. To sustain in the competitive market, vendors should develop new ideas and technologies and stay up-to-date with the advanced technologies.

Automated electronic control technologies for automotive systems such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), electronic stability control (ESC), and electronic control unit (ECU) have been evolving year after year. The new trend in the automotive industry is to manufacture vehicles that feature advanced technologies with the optimized weight-cost ratio.

Automotive microcontrollers (MCU) is the core component of the automotive electronic system. Under the "new four trends" of automotive electrification, intelligence, networking and sharing, major automobile manufacturers have continuously increased their requirements for the architectural integration and functional complexity of automotive MCUs, and the market is expanding.
