Embedded Computer Market Report by Component Type (Software, Hardware), End Use Industry (Automotive/Transportation, Industrial Automation, Information and Communication Technology, Healthcare, Utilities, and Others), and Region 2024-2032


The global embedded computer market size reached US$ 46.4 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 87.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7% during 2024-2032.

An embedded computer is controlled by a real-time operating system (RTOS) and placed within a larger machine or equipment. It receives electronic data through sensors, which are processed by the microprocessor, and passes the information to mechanical components that operate the required task. It is commonly used in television (TV) sets, motor vehicles, telephones, digital cameras, washing machines, microwaves, and dishwashers. It is compact, cost-effective, easy to manage, improves performance, and transfers information in real-time as compared to conventionally used computers.

Embedded Computer Market Trends:

The embedded computer is used in anti-lock braking systems (ABS), cruise control, and other major components of passenger and electric vehicles (EVs). This, in confluence with the growing number of fatal road accidents and the increasing focus on improving passenger and driver safety, represents one of the major factors bolstering the market growth. In addition, the embedded computer is incorporated into medical devices to diagnose and treat several chronic conditions. This, along with the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and significant improvements in the healthcare infrastructure, is contributing to the market growth. It can also be attributed to the introduction of smart wearables, such as fitness watches, bands, and trackers, with increased battery life, multiple sport modes and health tracking functionalities. Furthermore, due to the growing environmental concernsand energy security among the masses are increasing the adoption of renewable energy around the world. Apart from this, the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) to transmit data over a network, solve complex problems and improve machine-to-machine (M2M) communications is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry players.
