The global embedded system market by applications is divided into
seven segments, namely: automotive, telecommunication, healthcare,
industrial, consumer electronics, aerospace and defense, and others
(including government, office automation, and retail). The automotive
segment was the largest contributor in the embedded system market in
2014 and is expected to retain its position throughout the forecast
period. The extensive usage of embedded systems in various
applications in automobiles ranging from wiper controls to complex anti
lock systems, infotainment systems, engine control unit, and car-areanetwork (CAN) among others is fuelling the growth of this application
area.
Embedded system market has been bifurcated geographically into four
regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World.
