Automotive Lighting Market Growth, Trends, and Analysis by 2031

The automotive lighting market size is projected to reach US$ 31.40 billion by 2031 from US$ 21.30 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.97% in 2023–2031. The surge in the sales of premium and luxury cars is driving the automotive lighting market, and it is also providing growth prospects to lighting suppliers.

Automotive Lighting Market Analysis

The automotive lighting ecosystem consists of the following major stakeholders, namely: raw material suppliers, automotive lighting manufacturers/OEMs, and end-users. The raw material suppliers include vendors who provide key raw materials components for automotive lighting such as copper, aluminum, LEDs, and Laser diodes, among others. Automotive lighting manufacturers/OESs such as Osram-Continental, Lumileds, Hella, Valeo, and Automotive-Lighting, among others, integrate and develop automotive lighting for various types of vehicle types. Automotive OEMS share the vehicle-specific headlight, taillight, and signaling lights or blueprints with the vendors. The vendors come up with unique quotations to bid for the supplier's agreement. The vendor who got selected then provides the vehicle-specific lighting systems throughout the tenure of the tender agreement. OEMs integrate these lighting components into their final vehicle.

Automotive Lighting Market Overview

Currently, LED matrix lighting solutions dominate the total automotive lighting implementations. The matrix laser technology is anticipated to further enhance roadway illumination through its high resolution characteristics. The matrix laser technology is based on the LaserSpot for high-beam lamps. With the matrix laser technology, it has become possible to converge the projector technology in the headlamps of the passenger cars. The luminance factor of the lasers is approximately five-times greater than other light sources available in the market, and therefore, the laser headlamps provide higher beam ranges to the vehicle drivers. The beam range of a typical laser headlight ranges above 500 m. The BMW i8 and BMW 7 are the other car series of passenger cars that feature laser-integrated headlights.

Automotive Lighting Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing sales of premium and luxury car owing to rising disposable income

In the developed countries where consumers have huge disposable incomes, it has been witnessed that with the rise of the vehicular population, consumer preferences for buying passenger cars differs. As a result, cost- and fuel-efficiency are no longer the primary criteria for the purchase of these cars; instead, the purchases more depend on the comfort and luxury provided with them. Moreover, consumers are increasingly evaluating lighting systems and car ergonomics while making the selections.

Growing demand for LED automotive exterior lighting

As per the data from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), despite only 25% of the total driving time of passenger vehicles at night, ~50% of all passenger vehicle fatalities occur in the dark. This has been mainly due to the inappropriate visibility and improper illumination on roads, and insufficient illuminations provided by the headlamps of the vehicles. Safety concerns have bolstered the automakers to look for a safer alternative. The LEDriving fog lights by OSRAM are remarkable in terms of innovation, design, and performance. Moreover, Philips has AirFlux and AirCool technologies to offer, which help control the heat produced by LED fog lights. These are smart cooling systems that avert heat from the light's critical component, thereby increasing heat resistance and effectively extending the lifespan of LEDs.
