The growing demand for automated vehicles is a significant factor contributing to the anticipated expansion of the multi-domain controller market in the future. Automated vehicles, which operate without human intervention by sensing their surroundings, utilize multi-domain controllers to efficiently manage the complex data required for automated features. According to Capgemini's data in 2023, autonomous cars are expected to represent 15 percent of global car sales, with an annual projection of 95 million autonomous cars being sold by 2035. Therefore, the increasing preference for automated vehicles is expected to propel the multi-domain controller market.

The rising demand for electric vehicles is poised to drive the growth of the multi-domain controller market. Electric vehicles (EVs), powered by electricity instead of traditional internal combustion engines, introduce greater complexity due to advanced power electronics, battery management systems, and electric propulsion. Efficiently managing these diverse domains necessitates advanced control systems such as multi-domain controllers. According to the International Energy Agency, global EV sales continued to rise in 2022, with 2 million electric cars sold in the first quarter, representing a 75% increase from the previous year. By the end of 2021, there were approximately 16.5 million electric vehicles on the world's roads. Hence, the surge in demand for electric vehicles is a driving force behind the multi-domain controller market.

A key trend gaining popularity in the multi-domain controller market is product innovation, with major companies focusing on enhancing the computing power of their offerings. For example, ZF Friedrichshafen, a German automotive company, launched a multi-domain capable edition of the ZF ProAI high-performance controller in January 2023. This controller allows the execution of ADAS, infotainment, or chassis functionality on different domain-based boards and supports the simultaneous operation of two operating systems. Despite its compact size, the new multi-domain edition ZF ProAI boasts high energy efficiency of 5 TOPS per watt.

Major companies in the multi-domain controller market are also introducing innovative products such as AI domain controllers to maintain their market position. An AI domain controller employs advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to manage and process data for specific functions within a domain, such as the automotive domain for self-driving cars. Ambarella, Inc., a US-based AI vision silicon company, launched the CV3 AI domain controller family in January 2022, offering the automotive industry's highest AI processing performance, up to 500 eTOPS, and a significant boost in CPU performance compared to the previous generation.

A multi-domain controller is a sophisticated microprocessor designed to manage multiple features and functions within a vehicle. Its role involves providing the necessary computing power to operate the driver cluster, infotainment system, and other user interfaces in the vehicle.

The primary bus systems associated with multi-domain controllers include Controller Area Network (CAN) and CAN FD (Controller Area Network Flexible Data Rate), Ethernet, FlexRay, and Local Interconnect Network (LIN). Controller Area Network (CAN) is a communication system designed for vehicle-to-vehicle communication, facilitating real-time communication between various microcontrollers and devices without the need for a host computer. Bit sizes, such as 32-bit, 64-bit, and 128-bit, are employed in heavy commercial vehicles, light commercial vehicles, and passenger cars. These controllers find applications in various functions, including Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS) and safety, body and comfort, cockpit, and powertrain.
