An automotive graphics display controller is a device used to control and manage the display of graphics and information on various vehicle screens, such as instrument clusters, HUDS, Multimedia screens, etc. It is responsible for processing and rendering the graphic output of the video content on the vehicle, providing a clean U.I. for the driver and the passenger. It provides high-speed, real-time, high-resolution graphics and video output and can also have touch and gesture recognition.

In July 2022, Socionext introduced a smart graphic display controller unit for functional safety. These devices are essential in a wide range of automotive, especially in passenger cars and commercial vehicle segments.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Automotive Graphics Display Controller Market

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the automotive graphic controller market considerably. The market witnessed high supply chain disruptions affecting the production of controller components. The lockdown restricted the traveling and movement of goods, leading to inventory shortages and delays in the provision of raw materials.

Many automotive manufacturers temporarily shut down their production units, leading to delays and backlogs of orders. Also, there was a decline in demand for the vehicles due to the shutdown, which decreased demand for the vehicle's graphics display controller unit. There has been a high shift to online sales in graphics display controller units. This meant manufacturers needed to prioritize features that were available at that time, like infotainment systems and display screens, which, after the pandemic, increased the demand for automotive graphics display controller units. With increased demand and more focus on advanced features such as ADAS, the demand and sales of these systems is expected to continuously grow as car manufacturers introduce more and more advanced features in their vehicle and autonomous vehicles gain momentum.

Analysis by Product

The in-vehicle center stack display, commonly known as a multimedia system in the middle of the dashboard, has a certain type of display controller that runs the car's LCD, LED, or OLED panel. These panels are the majority of the time most manufactured display graphics controllers. These units are also used in electric and hybrid vehicles and are expected to drive growth in the automotive graphics display controller market.

Analysis by Vehicle Type

The passenger cars segment is accepted to achieve the highest growth rate due to ramped-up production of small vehicles after COVID-19 and increased sales of four-wheelers and compact cars. Passenger cars use various controllers for displays, such as multimedia, driver assistance, ADAS, parking cameras, etc. On the other hand, these controllers are used in EVs on various displays, such as charging indicators, battery management, and power distribution displays. Thus, the increased demand for E.V.’s and the high popularity of digital monitoring features are expected to drive growth in the automotive graphics display controllers market.

Analysis by Application

The HUDs and ADAS systems will achieve the highest growth rate due to the increasing popularity of these systems in the automotive industry. Advanced safety systems are emphasized more nowadays, increasing the demand for HUDs and ADAS warning system displays. This will lead to high production and sales of the associated graphics display controller unit.

Analysis by Size

5-10 inch LED graphics display controller units will have the highest growth because they are the largest-selling and most standardized product in the passenger vehicle segment. The typical vehicle has 5-10 inch display units powered by these graphics display controller units.

Analysis by Region

The highest growth rate is expected in the Asia Pacific market due to the presence of major manufacturing units. High automation and the presence of major manufacturers of E.V. will have a rising impact on sales of these graphics display controllers in the Asia Pacific region. Thus, rapid adoption of electric vehicles and affordability will bode well for regional growth.
