An embedded system is recognized as a microprocessor-based computer hardware system along with software that is structured to perform a specific function, either as a part of a whole large system or as an independent system. At the core of the embedded system a circuit is designed to further carry out computation for real-time operational functions. Embedded system functions to control the device and allows the user to interact with it. They function on one or more than one functions at a time. These systems work by integrating a rugged motherboard into an industrial enclosure, along with embedded OS software and I/O (output and input) to attain a function in an embedded atmosphere. There are three basic types of embedded system, small scale, large scale and medium scale. Basic difference between microcontroller and microprocessor is that in microprocessor bit handling is very less in amount as compared to microcontroller because it offers various kinds of bit handling instruction. Embedded system software uses basic software such as C++, C, ADA ETC. Some might use OS such as LINUX, TreadX, RTOS, OSE etc. 

Embedded Systems Market Dynamics

Growth in demand for ADAS in EV and hybrid vehicles is uplifting the market growth of embedded system market. These systems are playing a major role in reconstructing the automotive industry. Embedded systems use ADAS technology which are implemented in hybrid and electric vehicles. The growth in demand for hybrid and electric vehicles due to surging awareness among masses about the diminishing state of the atmosphere has further led to the growth of the embedded system market. Whereas, the factor which is continuously hampering the market growth is the vulnerability of embedded systems to security breaches and cyber threats. Embedded systems consists of important data which could be critical to banks, military forces, healthcare and data centers. Therefore, it is very necessary to protect such devices from unknown resources and cyber threats. Major reasons due to which these devices are prone to cyber threats is the long device lifecycle, irregular security updates, attack replication and remote deployment. Furthermore, development of 5G based embedded services is acting as the market opportunity for many key players. But every aspect has some negative aspect as well, high energy consumption of compact embedded system acts as challenge for various key players in the market. The compactness of embedded system to implement different functionalities in them further leads to design complexity which leads to increased consumption of energy.

COVID 19 Impact on Embedded Systems Market

Covid-19 not only affected the operations of various industries which offers embedded system and solutions, but also hampered the company businesses using these product and solutions. The decline in demand for electronic devices due to lockdown has globally impacted the semiconductor market. The declination in global demand and exporting procedures for automotive vehicles is also anticipated to hamper the semiconductor market which led to slowing down the demand for the embedded system. Healthcare sector is the most benefitted sector during the pandemic period. This factor positively uplifts the embedded system as different embedded hardware’s are used in the development of advanced ventilators and other medical equipment’s.
