The global automotive lighting market size was valued at $32.31 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $58.59 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.3% from 2021 to 2030. 

Lighting plays a vital role in automotive vehicles to illuminate the vehicle path, thus allowing the driver to get a clear visibility of the road. Along with meeting the need for illuminating the path of the driver, the lighting system also helps other vehicle drivers and pedestrians on the road to detect the vehicle’s size, position, and direction of movement. It adds aesthetic looks to both, the interior and exterior parts of the vehicle and, at the same time, increases the conspicuity of the vehicle. The lighting system comprises lighting and signaling devices. This lighting equipment is placed at different locations in the vehicle, such as front, rear, top, and interiors. In 2018, HELLA GmbH & Co. developed integrated OLED technology for the rear combination lamps of the new Audi A8, which offers a homogenous appearance and individually controllable segments.

Electric Vehicle is projected as the most lucrative segments

Growing Emphasis Toward Road Safety

Road accidents are a significant concern globally, especially while driving on roads with heavy traffic and terrible weather conditions. Therefore, the demand for safety features and adaptive lighting systems has increased, owing to an upsurge in road traffic collisions. Hence, the rise in concern regarding road accidents leads to the installation of adaptive & advanced lighting systems to detect objects on the road, thereby, enabling the driver to take appropriate actions. Moreover, the adoption of intelligent, high-resolution LED headlights allows the driver to take every conceivable bend on the road with the aid of sensors to illuminate oncoming traffic, which leads to an essential contribution towards, reducing the risk of accidents specially while driving at night. Thus, huge investments by automotive manufacturers in R&D and innovation to develop automotive lighting systems that are compatible with driver assistance systems & proximity sensors increase the demand for automotive lighting systems in the market. 

According to World Health Organization, nearly 1.25 million people die in road accidents each year, including a major share to improper lighting systems in the vehicle. HELLA GmbH & Co., one of the leading manufacturers of automotive lighting, developed full-LED high beam headlamps for commercial vehicles, ensured by EdgeLight technology, which offers conspicuous flasher function with an overview to increase road safety and increase the driver’s visibility. In addition, Valeo in alliance with the Japanese lighting specialist, Ichikoh, designed and launched a picture beam monolithic adaptive lighting system to provide drivers with an exceptional and unique anti-glaring function to improve comfort and safety of the vehicle. Thus, growing emphasis on road safety fosters the growth of the automotive lighting market.

Side lighting is projected as the most lucrative segments

Increase in Implementation of Government Regulations

Road traffic injuries remain a significant public health problem due to insufficient lighting on roads as well as the absence of effective lighting system in vehicles. Meanwhile, governments across the globe have formulated stringent regulations relating to the use of effective lightings in automobiles. In September 2021, the Canadian Vehicle Lighting Regulation introduced a new lighting standards, such as tail lights with daytime running lights (DRLs), side marker lights to turn on automatically in the dark, and dark dashboards to alert the driver to turn on lights.

Furthermore, some of the U.S. states, including California, Kansas, and Arizona allow neon under glow car lights with restrictions on a particular color and location. For instance, Arizona traffic laws only allow amber or white lights on the side portion of the vehicle. In addition, numerous countries are taking active initiatives to curb CO2 emission levels in vehicles. Thus, the government's stringent regulations for safety & security are anticipated to boost the growth of the automotive lighting market.    

High Cost of LED Lights

The high cost of LED lights is a crucial concern for the automotive lighting market. Nowadays, LED bulbs are used with projector headlights, which are more expensive than reflector headlights and require more space within the vehicle. Meanwhile, halogen, xenon, and LED lights are commonly used lighting technologies in high-end or premium vehicles, owing to their benefits, such as reduced power consumption, cooler temperatures, and longer self-life of LED lights. However, halogen lights have a major disadvantage of heating and energy-wasting, whereas LED bulbs are attributed with their high production cost materials such as indium gallium nitride, aluminum, gallium indium phosphide, and aluminum gallium arsenide. In addition, the complicated installation procedure for the acquisition of LED lights requires a high cost as compared to other options. This eventually increases the cost of LED lights used in automobiles; thus, restraining the growth of the market during the forecast period.
