By functionality, market has been segmented into four segments, namely stand alone, real time, networked and mobile. Real time embedded systems garnered the maximum revenue in 2014. These systems have the ability to operate under constrained environments with strict deadline, where processing power and computer memory is restricted. The extensive usage of real time embedded systems across various sectors including the commercial, military, government, medical, cultural infrastructures and educational sectors is fuelling the growth of the market.

在功能上，市場可以劃分成四大塊，分別是單機、實時、網絡和移動。實時嵌入式系統在2014年市場份額最大，這些系統在嚴格期限的受限環境中，通常是處理能力和計算機內存有限的情況下，仍然具有操作能力。包括商業、軍事、政府、醫療、文化設施和教育部門等各個行業對嵌入式實時系統的廣泛使用，助長了市場的增長。

By microcontrollers, market has been divided into: small scale, medium scale and large scale embedded systems. Medium scale embedded systems occupied the largest share of the market globally source held and accounted for more than 50% of the market in 2014. Medium scale embedded systems are supported by 16 and 32 bit microcontroller or microprocessor and they help to reduce size, cost and power consumption of the systems. Most of the advanced embedded systems are based on this technology.
 
以微控制器種類劃分，市場可以分為小型、中型和大型嵌入式系統。中型嵌入式系統占據全球市場的最大份額，2014年其份額占整個市場的50%以上。中型嵌入式系統主要是16位和32位微控制器或微處理器，它們有助于減少尺寸、成本和系統功耗。最先進的嵌入式系統往往是基于該技術。

By types, embedded system is classified as embedded hardware and embedded software. In 2014, embedded hardware segment was the larger contributor to the market. Dominance of the market by embedded hardware is expected to continue during the forecast period. However, the embedded software segment is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period, owing to strong need for superior quality of embedded software controllers by safety-critical end-use industries such as medical and defense.  

以類型劃分，嵌入式系統分為嵌入式硬件和嵌入式軟件。2014年，嵌入式硬件占據市場的大頭。嵌入式硬件的市場主導地位，在報告預測期內將繼續保持。然而，嵌入式軟件市場有望在預測期內取得顯著增長，因為一些關鍵安全終端行業，比如醫療和國防，對嵌入式軟件控制器的卓越品質有著強烈的需求。
 
By applications, market is classified into seven segments, namely: automotive, telecommunication, healthcare, industrial, consumer electronics, aerospace and defense, and others. The automotive sector held the largest share of the market accounting for more than 18% in 2014. Embedded systems are used widely in the automotive sector and are found in a vehicle’s engine, navigation system, body electronics and infotainment systems. Automotive sector is expected to retain its position throughout the forecast period owing to increasing penetration of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). In addition, increasing demand from other end user industries such as consumer electronics and healthcare is also expected to positively impact the market in the coming years.
 
在應用上，市場分為七大領域，分別是：汽車、電信、醫療保健、工業、消費電子、航空和國防，以及其他。2014年，汽車行業市場份額最大，占據了18％以上。嵌入式系統廣泛應用于汽車領域，在汽車引擎、導航系統、車身電子和信息娛樂系統中比較常見。在預測期內，汽車行業將繼續保持其市場地位，因為混合動力電動汽車和電動汽車的普及加快。另外，其他一些終端用戶行業，如消費電子和醫療保健的需求也在上升，將對未來幾年的市場產生積極的影響。

The global embedded system market has been divided geographically into four broad regions, namely North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World. North America acquired the largest share of the global market in 2014 and accounted for more than 36%.
