Next-Generation Automotive Lighting Market - A Global and Regional Analysis: Focus on Application, Product, and Country-Level Analysis - Analysis and Forecast, 2022-2031

Next-Generation Automotive Lighting Industry Overview

The global next-generation automotive lighting market is projected to reach $38.85 billion by 2031 from $12.11 billion in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 13.83% during the forecast period 2022-2031. The growth in the global next-generation automotive lighting market is expected to be driven by technological advancements in automotive lighting systems and increasing sales of luxury vehicles around the world.

Market Lifecycle Stage

In the automotive industry, lighting plays a critical role, and its applications in the automotive sector are rising rapidly, powered by safety and aesthetics. The rapid technological progress in the automotive lighting field shows that basic light sources based on incandescent and gas-release bulbs have shifted to modern-day technologies such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), laser technology, and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The vehicle industry is highly involved in incorporating LED lamps into cars as these lamps use less energy and last longer than halogen and high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps. In addition, LED lighting offers longevity and power, which makes it superior to all other lighting systems.

The global next-generation automotive lighting market is in the growth phase. The implementation of next-generation automotive lighting is increasing in luxury vehicles. As a result, the global next-generation automotive lighting market is expected to flourish in the forecast period.

Impact

The global next-generation automotive lighting market is driven by several factors, such as increasing production and sales of passenger cars, rising autonomous vehicles, and advanced technologies.

Moreover, increasing awareness regarding advanced lighting systems and autonomous cars and growing safety concerns are expected to increase the adoption of next-generation automotive lighting systems globally. However, currently, the higher cost concerns, along with an increase in relative costs of raw materials since the LED revolution, are gradually restricting the growth of the market.

Impact of COVID-19

The outbreak of COVID-19 disrupted the global supply chain. It interrupted not only global production facilities but also worldwide vehicle sales. The suspension and sale of manufacturing equipment have affected the manufacture of lighting parts for automobiles. In addition, the research and development budget allocation was affected substantially, which prevented the development of innovative solutions for the next-generation automotive lighting market. The outbreak of COVID-19 also resulted in a significant decline in vehicle production and sales, negatively affecting the demand for next-generation automotive lighting solutions.
