The automotive industry is witnessing significant advancements in lighting technology, with innovations like center stack lights and head-up displays (HUDs) enhancing the styling and individualization of cars. Interior lighting, adaptive lighting systems, and headlights are also evolving, especially with the electrification of vehicles. As electric and hybrid vehicles expand, there's a focus on adaptive lighting to meet the needs of autonomous vehicles, reflecting major trends in the automotive market. Moreover, in this industry is undergoing significant changes with the advancements in autonomous vehicles and innovations in adaptive lighting. Sales of automobiles are also affected by the expansion of electric vehicles, which are becoming increasingly popular due to their environmental benefits and technological advancements.
The growing popularity of ambient lighting in automobiles is the key factor driving the market. Ambient lighting involves the use of light pipes, light rings, LED pin spotlights, and diffuser lenses that are integrated into the vehicle consoles, door panels, instrument panels, and seat frames. The adoption of ambient lights is increasing in modern vehicles to give them an aesthetic appeal. LEDs are extensively used for ambient lighting in cabins owing to their small size and lower energy consumption. Automotive OEMs are increasing the number of light sources in their vehicles to increase the feel of a premium vehicle.
However, bright lights in automotive cabins can distract drivers, and, therefore, the luminance value of cabin lighting is maintained below 0.1 cd/m2 (candela per square meter). Automotive OEMs, such as Audi and BMW, are continually researching ambient lighting to determine optimum colors and brightness levels. Further, ambient lighting improves comfort as it provides direction and illuminates the necessary functions in the dark. Thus, the increased adoption of ambient lighting will be a crucial driver for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The growing popularity of OLED lighting technology is the primary trend shaping the market. Since the era of incandescent lights in vehicles, automotive interior LED has seen numerous innovations, with OLED lighting emerging as a standout option. Offering efficient, lightweight, and visually pleasing illumination without harsh shadows or the need for reflectors, OLED technology initially found traction in luxury models from OEMs like Audi and BMW.
Furthermore, although initially limited by cost, advancements have made OLEDs more flexible, energy-efficient, and capable of emitting a wider range of colors than LEDs. Their thin profile allows for seamless integration into various vehicle components, ensuring uniform and glare-free illumination throughout the interior. As luxury brands continue to seek differentiation, collaboration with leading vendors is driving the adoption of OLED lighting in premium vehicles, further fueling its popularity and market growth.
Rising prices of raw materials is a challenge that affects the market. In recent years, raw material prices vital for automotive interior LED lighting, such as aluminum, copper, PVC, and paper, have been steadily increasing, driven primarily by the rising cost of crude oil, affecting PVC costs. Additionally, materials like rolled steel, aluminum, electronic components, and resins are utilized in LED light manufacturing, subject to price fluctuations, posing challenges for manufacturers in maintaining stock and increasing operational costs.
Consequently, such factors contribute to higher LED light prices compared to other lighting types, hindering market growth. To address this, vendors focus on enhancing quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, while industry-wide LED adoption aids in achieving economies of scale and reducing costs. However, ongoing innovations and design efficiencies remain crucial for overcoming these challenges in the market.
The market forecasting report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their market growth analysis strategies.
