Americas: largest automotive TCU market

The automotive TCU market in the Americas is anticipated to grow during the forecast period primarily because of the high demand and volume sales of sports sedans and high-performance cars. In 2015, the sales of new vehicles gained momentum in the Americas. Multiple factors such as the decrease in gasoline prices, low interest rates, easy credit availability, a decrease in the unemployment rate, and the increase in vehicle lease have spurred the sale of new vehicles.

“Increased preference for fuel efficiency is driving the market for mid and compact-sized crossovers. Unlike SUVs, crossovers have lesser curb weight and higher fuel efficiency. Numerous product innovations and launching activities are undertaken by original equipment manufacturers to boost the SUV and crossover segments. The growing popularity of the SUV and crossover segment is expected to shift consumer buying preference from sedans to SUVs or crossovers. Light commercial vehicles such as pickup trucks and SUVs are popular due to their multipurpose applications and powerful engines,” says Keerthi Balu, a leadautomotive electronics research expert from Technavio.
