The CAN technology is supported by many suppliers and manufacturers all over the world who provide CAN controllers, CAN interface boards, CAN analyzing software tools and higher layer protocols.

As was emphasized previously, many major semiconductor manufacturers, including Motorola, Philips, Intel, Infineon, among, sell CAN chips, and the fact that millions of them are used in automobiles guarantees low chip prices and long-term availability.

The use of CAN in most of European passenger cars and the decision by truck and off-road vehicle manufacturers for CAN led to the availability of CAN chips since 1987.

Other high volume markets, like domestic appliances and industrial control, also increase the CAN sales figures and guarantee the availability for the future.
