Dubai, UAE – November 26, 2025 — Kings Research has released its latest report, “Global Embedded System Market: Size, Share, Trends & Forecast 2025–2032.” The report provides a detailed analysis of embedded system technologies, segmentation by component, function, system size, and application, regional insights, and competitive landscape.
The study serves as a strategic resource for technology providers, manufacturers, automotive and industrial solution providers, and investors seeking actionable insights into the evolving embedded systems market.
According to Kings Research, the global embedded system market was valued at USD 103.34 billion in 2024, is projected to grow to USD 110.48 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 184.36 billion by 2032, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.62% during the forecast period. The growth is driven by increasing adoption of embedded systems in automotive electronics, industrial automation, IoT devices, and consumer electronics.
Embedded systems are specialized computing systems designed to perform dedicated functions within larger mechanical or electrical systems. They integrate microcontrollers, microprocessors, sensors, software, and communication interfaces to enable smart functionalities.
Applications span across automotive control units, industrial automation machinery, medical devices, consumer electronics, and telecommunications infrastructure. With the global push towards smart cities, connected devices, and Industry 4.0 manufacturing, embedded systems have become critical for real-time control, reliability, and operational efficiency.
Kings Research underscored key trends reshaping the embedded system market landscape. Among them are:
1. Automation & Industrial Robotics Surge
The global push toward industrial automation continues to strengthen demand for embedded systems: as of 2023, there are 4,281,585 industrial robots in operation worldwide, a 10% increase over 2022, according to the International Federation of Robotics (Source: ifr.org). This rising robot population, each relying on embedded processors, sensors, and control modules, underlines the structural growth in demand for embedded hardware and software platforms across manufacturing industries.
2. Sustained Annual Robot Installations
New industrial robot deployments remained robust in 2023, with 541,302 units installed globally, the second-highest annual figure on record. For companies building embedded systems, this translates into increased orders for controller boards, real-time operating systems (RTOS), sensor modules, and integration services, as more factories upgrade or expand automation.
3. Asia‑Pacific as Growth Engine
In 2023, 70% of all newly deployed industrial robots worldwide were installed in Asia, highlighting the Asia‑Pacific region’s growing investment in manufacturing automation and smart factory infrastructure. This strong regional shift supports your positioning of Asia‑Pacific as the fastest‑growing region for the embedded systems market.
4. Industrial Modernization & Industry 4.0 Momentum
The steady increase in the use of robots, and therefore embedded control and sensor systems, shows that businesses around the world are making investments in modernization and scalability. The size of robot deployments indicates that the need for lifecycle support, integration, and embedded system components will continue to be structural rather than cyclical.
The embedded system market offers substantial growth prospects for manufacturers, investors, and technology providers:
- Operational Efficiency: Embedded systems enable real-time monitoring, automated control, and predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and optimizing processes.
- Product Differentiation: Advanced embedded solutions, including AI-enabled processors and IoT connectivity, help companies develop smarter, more competitive products.
- Cost Optimization: Automation and intelligent control reduce labor and operational costs while improving resource utilization.
- Regulatory Compliance: Supports adherence to automotive safety standards, industrial regulations, and environmental requirements.
- Innovation Enablement: Facilitates the development of connected devices, smart factories, and Industry 4.0 solutions.
- Scalability: Flexible embedded platforms allow integration across multiple applications, from automotive and industrial to consumer electronics and healthcare.
Regional Outlook
