Global Automotive Watchdog Timers Market Research Report 2023

A watchdog timer (WDT) is a timer that monitors microcontroller (MCU) programs to see if they are out of control or have stopped operating. It acts as a “watchdog” watching over MCU operation.

A microcontroller (MCU) is a compact processor for controlling electronic devices. Integrated into a wide variety of electronic devices, MCUs come pre-loaded with program software whose commands are used to control electronic devices.

This makes safeguarding normal MCU operation essential. Should the MCU program, for some reason, run out of control or stop running altogether, the electronic device may behave erratically, which in the worst case could cause damage or an accident.

To proactively prevent such incidents, it falls to the role of the watchdog timer to constantly watch over the MCU to ensure it is operating normally.

According to Researcher's new survey, global Automotive Watchdog Timers market is projected to reach US$ million in 2029, increasing from US$ million in 2022, with the CAGR of % during the period of 2023 to 2029. Influencing issues, such as economy environments, COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine War, have led to great market fluctuations in the past few years and are considered comprehensively in the whole Automotive Watchdog Timers market research.

Automotive is a key driver of this industry. According to data from the World Automobile Organization (OICA), global automobile production and sales in 2017 reached their peak in the past 10 years, at 97.3 million and 95.89 million respectively. In 2018, the global economic expansion ended, and the global auto market declined as a whole. In 2022, there will wear units 81.6 million vehicles in the world. At present, more than 90% of the world's automobiles are concentrated in the three continents of Asia, Europe and North America, of which Asia automobile production accounts for 56% of the world, Europe accounts for 20%, and North America accounts for 16%. The world major automobile producing countries include China, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Germany, India, Mexico, and other countries; among them, China is the largest automobile producing country in the world, accounting for about 32%. Japan is the world's largest car exporter, exporting more than 3.5 million vehicles in 2022.
