Automotive Door Control Unit Market Scope
The door control unit is a generic term for an embedded system that controls a number of electrical systems related to an advanced motor vehicle. An advanced motor vehicle consists of a number of Electrical Control Units, and the Door Control Unit is an important one among them. The door control unit (DCU) is responsible for controlling as well as monitoring various electronic accessories in a vehicle's door. Since most of the vehicles have more than 1 door, generally DCUs are present in each door independently. A door control unit associated with the driver's door has some added functionalities. These additional features are the outcome of complex functions like driver door switch pad, locking, child lock switches, etc., which are associated with the driver's door. In a maximum of the cases, the driver door module acts as a master and others act as slaves in communication protocols.
According to AMA, the Global Automotive Door Control Unit market is expected to see growth rate of 7.7%Automotive Door Control Unit is a fragmented market due to the presence of a large number of established competitors. The key players are highly focused on developing and innovating new strategies to maintain their market position and customer base. The companies are also planning strategic activities like partnerships, collaboration, mergers, and acquisitions which will help them to sustain in the market and maintain their competitive edge
