What Is Covered Under Automotive Lighting Market?

Automotive lighting is defined as lighting and signalling devices that are mounted on the front, rear, sides, and in some cases on the top of a motor vehicle that makes the vehicle more visible especially in low light conditions. The main technologies of automotive lighting are Halogen, Xenon/HID (high-intensity discharge lamp), and LED (light-emitting diode). A halogen is a chemical substance that reacts with metal to form a salt. Halogen lamps are lit by bulbs containing a halogen and an inert gas. The technologies are used in passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles for front/headlamps, rear lighting, side, and interior lighting.

What Is The Automotive Lighting Market Growth Forecast?

The automotive lighting market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $39.24 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electrification of vehicles, adoption of smart lighting systems, government incentives for energy-efficient solutions, rising demand for autonomous vehicles, integration of iot-enabled lighting systems. Major trends in the forecast period include AI-enabled vehicle lighting, smart adaptive headlamps, energy-efficient lighting solutions, connected lighting systems, predictive maintenance & diagnostics.

What Is The Driver Of The Automotive Lighting Market?

The growing trend of autonomous vehicles is expected to boost the growth of the automotive lighting market going forward. An autonomous vehicle refers to a vehicle that can function independently of human control. Autonomous vehicles require a range of advanced sensors, cameras, and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) systems for perception and navigation. These systems need high-quality and integrated lighting to operate effectively, especially in various lighting conditions. This demand for specialized lighting components supports the growth of the automotive lighting market.For instance, in September 2024, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, a Belgium-based automobile manufacturers association, reported that in 2023, the European Union produced 12.2 million cars, marking an 11.6% increase compared to 2022. Therefore, the growing trend of autonomous vehicles is driving the growth of the automotive lighting industry.

Global Automotive Lighting Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the automotive lighting market are developing new products such as micro-LED light engines to meet larger customer bases, more sales, and increase revenue. A micro-LED light engine is a display technology that consists of arrays of microscopic LEDs forming the individual pixel elements. For instance, in January 2023, Nichia Corporation, a Japan-based light emitting diode (LED) manufacturing company, together with Infineon Technologies AG, a Germany-based semiconductor manufacturing company, launched an integrated micro-LED light engine (µPLS light engine) for applications requiring high-definition (HD) adaptive driving beams. This product's unique characteristic is that it utilizes Nichia's proprietary internal LED chip and micro-LED technology as well as an integrated LED driver IC from Infineon that can independently drive all 16,384 micro-LEDs under pulse-width modulation (PWM) control. The µPLS light engine allows for modifications that may be digitally programmed at the factory or turned on as needed by the driver or the car's manufacturer.
