The market experiences significant growth due to technological advancements meeting consumer preferences and safety concerns. From luxury vehicles to buses and freight trucks, LEDs, including halogen, xenon/HID, and advanced materials like indium gallium nitride and aluminum gallium indium phosphide, illuminate the road ahead. Compliance with regulations by bodies like the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) ensures safety, reducing collisions and fatal crashes. Despite the high cost, fleet managers prioritize LED projector headlights for their vehicles, ensuring optimal visibility and safety for car users, including those in robo taxis. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The growing popularity of ambient lighting in automobiles is notably driving market growth. To enhance the appearance of cabins at night ambient lighting is used. This uses light pipes, light rings, LED pin spotlights, and diffuser lenses that are integrated into the vehicle's console, door panels, instrument panels, and seat frames. LEDs are used for ambient lighting in cabins owing to their small size and lower energy consumption.
Furthermore, automotive OEMs have been increasing the number of light sources to make vehicles look premium. However, bright lights in automotive cabins can distract drivers, and therefore, the luminance value of cabin lighting is maintained below 0.1 cd/m square. Automotive OEMs such as Audi are continuing research on ambient lighting to determine optimum colors and brightness levels. The ambient lighting improves comfort as it illuminates necessary functions in the dark. Moreover, drivers and passengers can control the intensity and color of ambient lighting. Thus, such factors will boost the market during the forecast period.
The growing adoption of adaptive lighting systems is an emerging trend in the market. Adaptive lighting systems augment the distribution of light according to the driving circumstances. These systems are also being adopted in vehicles owing to their additional safety and comfort features. They are used in both the front and rear lighting of vehicles. LED technology is becoming a crucial enabler for the efficient and reliable operation of these systems when compared with other technologies. Hence, the popularity of these adaptive systems is a positive trend for the growth of the market in focus.
Furthermore, developments by prominent companies are enabling automotive OEMs to offer adaptive lighting systems. For instance, in 2022, Porsche, a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG, showcased new HD matrix LED headlight technology. The innovative headlight technology offers functions that include low and high beams, glare-free high beam, adaptive highway high beam, dynamic safety zone, and sign glare reduction. Hence, such factors will fuel the market growth during the forecast period.
Rising prices of raw materials are major challenges impeding market growth. Aluminum, copper, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and paper are some of the raw materials used in automotive LEDs. Prices of these materials have been experiencing an upward trend in recent years. Furthermore, the rising price of crude oil is increasing the price of PVC.
Since the prices of the raw materials are subject to fluctuations, manufacturers find it difficult to maintain stock, which increases the operational cost. The high prices of raw materials increase the price of LED lights when compared with other types of automotive lighting. This acts as a crucial challenge for the growth of the global market. Furthermore, innovations in these systems and efficient design changes are of prime importance for manufacturers. Therefore, these factors will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
