The automotive MCU market will have a CAGR of 3% during 2017-2021 with the 32-bit segment having a CAGR of 6.6%, says Digitimes Research.
Renesas and NXP are the top-2 suppliers with market shares of 31% and 27% respectively.
Many suppliers are developing multi-domain controllers (MDC) which can help reduce the number of ECUs used and address the problems such as poor data transmission efficiency and high complexity of automotive electronics resulting from the adoption of too many ECUs.
Vehicles equipped with MDCs are expected to hit the market from 2020 on, Digitimes Research indicates.
Over the long term, Level 3 and above autonomous vehicles will adopt a decreasing number of both ECUs and MCUs, and instead, they will employ simplified central processing architectures and high-performance automotive processors.
This is expected to start undermining the growth momentum for the automotive MCU market after 2025.
