The multi-domain controller, or multi-domain control unit, is an integrated electronic control unit that improves the functionality and performance of vehicles by providing the vehicle system, i.e. IC engine or electric, with a large amount of data. However, this data further helps vehicles in several processes including automatic driving. This vehicle control unit deals with large data that is generated from integrated sub-electronic systems and connected vehicles for efficient and smooth vehicle operations. The multi-domain controller that is used in vehicles reduces the network space and density, which was previously caused by the process of multiple automotive electronic controller parts in a vehicle. Moreover, domain controller units offer improved user experience, active safety and security, and smart vehicle architecture. Domain controllers receive inputs from different radar sensors and cameras around the vehicle, which further creates a model of the surrounding by using the received data. The software application further decides what actions need to be taken based on the models. Rising electrification of vehicles has increased the need to manage complex vehicle electronics and its architecture. Similarly, increase in adoption of advanced technological features by consumers and auto manufacturers has further increased the electronic and control unit’s complexity in a vehicle, which is anticipated to increase the multi-domain controller market size in the near future.

Increase in Adoption of Advanced Technological Features in Premium and Luxury Vehicles
The adoption of premium and luxury vehicles is increasing among consumers as these vehicles offer advanced safety features, autonomous-driving options, advanced connectivity solutions, and modern powertrain electrification. Integration of technologically advanced features in the vehicles offers convenience for handling advance driver assistance system, engine & powertrain, and chassis, body & cockpit control system. However, manufacturers integrate ADAS domain controller, chassis domain controller, and other controllers, which gather information in real-time and further take action accordingly. Moreover, these features enable the application of Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), 5G network, and advance sensor solutions to improve safety and comfort in the vehicle. These advancements are enhancing the complexity in premium and luxury vehicles, which in turn boosts the requirement for multiple controllers. Therefore, technological upgrade of premium and luxury vehicles drives the growth of the automotive multi-domain controller market.
Vehicle Electrification Boosts Demand for Multi-domain Controllers Worldwide
Demand for electric vehicles across the globe is rising due to rising emission norms, scarcity of IC engine fuels, and increase in adoption of green technology. Availability of advanced EV models, new critical battery technology initiatives, and support policies by governments for adoption of EVs also boost the electric vehicle market. Electric vehicles are more advanced and have complex electronic architecture, which requires many electronic control units such as multi-domain controllers. Various multi-domain controller types offer benefits including improved vehicle durability, reliability, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and reduction in complexity and vehicle weight. Therefore, increase in vehicle electrification boosts the growth of the multi-domain controller market.

Increase in Demand for Advance Driver Assistance System (ADAS) & Safety Features in Vehicles
In terms of application, the multi-domain controller market has been classified into advance driver assistance system (ADAS) & safety, chassis & body control system, engine & powertrain, cockpit, and others. The advance driver assistance system (ADAS) & safety segment holds a dominant share of the multi-domain controller market in 2021. This is due to rapid urbanization, rise in disposable income of consumers, growth in traffic congestion, rise in investments in infrastructural development, and increasing government safety norms. ADAS & safety solutions require several controllers to collect information from different sensors and cameras in real-time and further offer data to vehicles in order to take certain actions as per the surroundings and also help in autonomous driving. Increase in use of chassis domain controller is expected to contribute to the multi-domain controller market share.
