The incorporation of energy-efficient solutions in automobiles is a key driver that will support the global market growth. Governments of most countries are promoting the use of energy-efficient vehicles to curb emissions and fuel consumption. Low power consumption by headlights reduces battery drain, ensuring longer service intervals for consumers. Emerging economies such as India are witnessing the implementation of stringent emission regulations, which is promoting the production of energy-efficient vehicles.
Most of the prominent OEMs are investing heavily in electric vehicles. Laser diodes are ideal to be used in EVs as they consume some of the least amounts of energy (other than the cooling power required) to operate. This allows their use without any significant impact on the charging cycles of EVs. Hence, the growing adoption of EVs across the world will act as a crucial factor for the rising demand for automotive laser headlight systems during the forecast period.
An increase in R&D spending on headlight technology is a key trend positively impacting the global market growth. The automotive industry has witnessed several innovative products in the lighting segment since the adoption of incandescent lights. There is no significant technological difference between LEDs and OLEDs. OLEDs are the advanced versions of LEDs and are more flexible, energy-efficient, and thin. They can emit different colors compared with LEDs. They can be used as signal lights, taillights, and interior lights in vehicles. Audi is the frontrunner in the adoption of LED lighting technology.
In addition, the vendors in the market have increased their investment in R&D of technologies such as OLED and laser lighting panels. They are motivated to invest in R&D to develop technologies for cost-effective production, considering the significant potential of the market. Moreover, vendors are developing technology standards for every product through an effective R&D process. Such factors will increase the amrket gorwth during the forecast period.
The adoption of LED lighting in automobiles will be a major factor that will negatively impact the global market growth. The technology for automotive headlights is developing at a rapid pace. The development of automotive headlamps is primarily aimed at increasing efficiency and reducing energy consumption. Senior executives at AUDI have been quoted as saying that LED headlights look promising enough to warrant a lack of pressure to replace them with new technologies such as lasers. Given the versatility of LEDs and the fact that vendors like Mercedes Benz have only just discovered their utility, it is unclear how quickly the same competitors would adopt laser technology.
Moreover, vendors can achieve high profit margins through LED headlamps owing to their premium pricing. As the demand for LED headlamps is increasing in the global automotive industry, LED technology will give tough competition to laser technology in headlight applications. Hence, the adoption of laser lighting technology will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
