Multi-Domain Controller Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Vehicle Type (Light Commercial Vehicles, Passenger Cars), Bus System (Ethernet, Flexray), Bit Size (32-Bit, 64-Bit) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Multi-Domain Controller Market is accounted for $2.70 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $14.99 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 27.7% during the forecast period. On Microsoft Servers, a domain controller is a server computer that responds to security authentication requests such as logging in, checking permissions etc, within a Windows domain. A domain is a concept introduced in Windows Network whereby a user may be granted access to a number of computer resources with the use of a single username and password combination.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing Requirement for Automation Solutions

In recent years, due to growing necessity for automated machinery in industries has led to an upsurge in the implementation of the multi-domain controller for monitoring and controlling automobile functions. Continental developed an environment model that captures the vehicle environment using various sensors. The data from sensors such as cameras, radar and [laser-based], and LIDAR are joined with additional information such as the profile of the route ahead which is collected, evaluated, and interpreted by an intelligent control unit—Assisted and Automated Driving Control Unit (ADCU). Thus the rising requirement for automation solutions is propelling the market of the multi-domain controller.

Restraint:

Operational Failure In Extreme Climatic Conditions

The major restraint of the market is its operational failures in extreme climatic conditions such as extreme cold and extreme heat. In the occurrence of extreme heat, controllers tend to melt down or break, the resistance surges, and it makes the signal too weak, which is why failures occur. Whereas, when it is moved to an optimal temperature, resistance is reduced, and it gets stable. Additionally, extreme cold is also not approved for the multi-domain controller, as they stop performing.

Opportunity:

Rising Implementation of Automated Vehicle Across the Globe

Autonomous vehicles (L4-High Automation and L5-Full Automation) are those vehicles that do not require any human intervention for their functioning. The demand for such vehicles is anticipated to upsurge in the future as widespread R&D activities, and multiple strategic partnerships in the automotive industry have led to innovative developments that make them more reliable and sustainable. The demand for Multi-Domain Controllers (MDCs) is also expected to rise in proportion to the production of fully autonomous vehicles owing to their obvious advantages over electronic control unit ECUs such as centralized topologies and high bandwidth, which helps in simultaneously controlling all the functions in the vehicle.

Threat:

Lack of Skilled Labor

Due to rising product and integration complexity at the manufacturer’s end, increasing non-availability of skilled labor for high-speed communication links and automotive storage are the major factors among others that threaten the market growth. A lack of skilled labor can slow a company’s growth. Quality of work can be affected if employees don’t have the right skills. That can increase the cost of having to redo or having to pay for damages to third parties as a result of negligence on behalf of a poorly trained. There is no easy solution to tackling the skilled labor shortage: it will take a combination of training, education.

Cockpit Electronics segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

With the increasing demand to deliver an immersive user experience besides an instant need to make driving safer and more secure, the next generation of vehicle dashboard electronics would necessitate the merging of present and upcoming features to offer a rich end-user experience. The automobile cockpit is fast transforming from an analog-only domain to a fully digital cockpit and is increasingly referred to as eCockpit. The eCockpit coming up with loaded features with greater integration along with critical and highly useful benefits.

The 128-Bit segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The growth of the segment is attributed to the industry's moves toward the new priority of manufacturing self-driving cars and environment-friendly vehicles. The 128-bit MDCs have the highest bit rate and are hence the most suitable for ADAS and safety functions as they can respond the quickest. These MDCs start gaining momentum shortly (within 5-8 years) owing to the growing acceptance of autonomous vehicles.

Region with highest share:

The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share. The growth is attributable to increasing fleet and traffic, deployment of new production facilities, an increase in automotive sales owing to rising expenditures and upcoming passenger and commercial vehicles. The Asia Pacific includes developing economies, such as China and India, along with developed nations, such as Japan, and is the largest market for automobiles. In recent years, the province has appeared as a hub for automobile production. Infrastructural developments and industrialization in the emerging economies have opened new avenues, creating several opportunities for automotive OEMs. To gain a competitive advantage in the market, OEMs are offering advanced applications such as HMI, keyless entry, and an auto-park assist among others, which naturally increases the number of ECUs in vehicles. This, in turn, is expected to drive the growth of the market in the province. Additionally, the diverse governments in the province are set to present stringent environmental regulations, for OEMs, compelling manufacturers to reduce vehicle weight. All these factors are projected to fuel the growth of the market in the area.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR, as the province is home to a majority of global automakers and original equipment manufacturers who are developers of the multi-domain controller. Furthermore, the existence of major premium and exotic vehicle manufacturers coupled with the demand for cost-effective and efficient solutions is also likely to propel the market in the province during the forecast period. The market in the county is likely to expand at a significant pace during the forecast period.
