The headlight market is segmented into technology, vehicle type, vehicle propulsion, sales channel, and region. By technology, the global market is divided into halogen, LED, and Xenon. By vehicle type, it is bifurcated into passenger cars and commercial vehicle. By vehicle propulsion, it is categorized into ICE vehicle and electric vehicle. By sales channel, the market is segmented as OEM and aftermarket. By region, the market has been analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
Some leading companies profiled in the headlight market report comprises Continental AG, De Amertek Corporation, Hella GmbH & Co. KGAA, Hyundai Mobis Co., Ltd., Johnson Electric Holdings Limited, J.W. Speaker Corporation, Marelli Holdings Co., Ltd, Robert Bosch GmbH, Stanley Electric Co., Ltd., and Valeo.
Adoption of advanced driver assistance system
Automotive headlight is an essentaial part of advanced driver assistance system, which changes the vehicle lighting pattern during a drive on a turning road to compensate for the road curvature and enhance the night visibility. In addition, in bad weather conditions, the intelligent lighting of ADAS plays a vital role as it provides enhanced visibility while driving in bad visibility conditions. Moreover, factors such as adoption of autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles, high demand for safety features, and increased requirement for comfort drive the growth of advanced driver assistance system, which directly compliments the growth of the headlight market.
Rise in concern toward road safety
The demand for safety features has increased due to surge in number of road accidents around the globe. Vehicles with efficient light enables the vehicle driver to take appropriate required actions. Rise in concern regarding road accidents globally, fuels the demand for better safety features in vehicles, eventually leading to incorporation of advanced lighting systems, which supports the growth of the market. Advanced lights are primarily installed to enhance the visibility on curve roads and improve the vehicles conspicuity in critical conditions. Further, as per the World Health Organization’s published data in June 2021, nearly 1.3 million people die in road traffic accidents each year that comprises a significant portion owing to improper lighting system in vehicle. These factors boost the demand for headlights in vehicles. Therefore, increase in concern toward road safety drives the growth of the headlight market.
High cost and configuration complexity
Increase in need for operational efficiency, enhancement in overall safety, and greater visibility are expected to fuel the demand for headlights. However, intelligent headlamps are connected with steering of vehicle that allows it to automatically adjust according to the driving situation. This eventually increases the cost of headlamps to be used in automobiles.
Increase in integration of advanced technology in vehicle
The demand for vehicles equipped with advanced technology has increased. This has led the vehicle manufacturers to develop and install latest components in the upcoming vehicle models. For instance, companies, such as Hyundai Mobis developed the driving beam linked to advanced driver assistance system. Moreover, automobile manufacturers across the globe are focusing toward manufacturing vehicles equipped with advanced technologies, such as adaptive lighting system, intelligent ambient lighting, and various other systems, which ensure safety and increase comfort while driving. This is expected to increase the demand for headlights. Thus, increase in demand for advanced technology in vehicle create opportunities for the headlight market.

Analyst Review
The headlight market is expected to witness significant growth, owing to adoption of intelligent lighting system in modern vehicles to provide greater visibility.
Countries, such as China, India, and Japan are projected to report a significant growth rate as compared to the developed regions. This is attributed to rise in demand for luxury vehicles, adoption of autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles, and advancements in technology in in Asia-Pacific headlight markets.
The LED based highlights are expected to experience growth during the forecast period. A light emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source that emits light when current passes through it. LED lights are tiny bulbs that generate light with the movement of electricity. Absence of filament or gas for heating, reduces the temperature of bulbs and requires less electricity for lighting. This allows LEDs to be placed in plastic cases with higher durability as compared to glass.
