With rising vehicle electrification, the complexity of control systems is increasing. This has created the need for a good physical control system to manage & coordinate the operation of multiple vehicles, thereby fueling the demand for BCM. Further, electric vehicles are equipped with safety systems and features to protect passengers and ensure safety. The BCM is responsible for integrating and controlling various safety features, including airbags, anti-lock braking systems (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC) and collision avoidance. As electric vehicles are important to safety, there is a growing demand for BCMs that can effectively manage these safety functions.

A Body Control Module (BCM) is an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that controls various electrical & electronic components related to the body and the interiors of a modern car. It acts as a central hub or "brain" that controls and coordinates functions such as lights, power windows, central locking, climate control, wipers, horn, voice recording, and other functions.

The high development and integration costs can hinder body control module market growth during the forecast period. Building and integrating an advanced BCM with the necessary functionalities can be expensive for automakers. The expenditure on hardware & software development, testing, and collaboration adds to the total cost of production. These high costs can limit the use of BCMs, especially in low-cost areas.
