Automotive Halogen Bulbs Global Market Report 2024

The automotive halogen bulbs market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.91 billion in 2023 to $11.69 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth observed in the historical period can be primarily attributed to the standardization of automotive lighting, increased vehicle ownership, the widespread popularity of halogen headlights, and the growing emphasis on road safety and visibility.

The automotive halogen bulbs market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.14 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the conversion to LED and HID lighting, the ongoing trend of vehicle electrification, a focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, regulatory changes, and the increasing adoption of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Furthermore, several noteworthy trends are expected to shape the market, including the emergence of adaptive headlights, connected lighting systems, enhancements in halogen bulbs, custom lighting solutions, and an emphasis on lighting design and aesthetics.

The automotive halogen bulbs market is anticipated to witness increased demand due to the cost advantages of halogen bulbs compared to other headlight types. These bulbs are commonly used in projector headlights and offer cost-effective replacement options, as well as lower energy consumption when compared to incandescent bulbs. Moreover, their decent lifespan, typically around 1000 hours under normal conditions, along with government regulations promoting more efficient bulbs, are expected to drive growth in the automotive halogen bulbs market.

The primary product variants within the automotive halogen bulbs market include halogen short-arc lights, halogen long-arc lights, and halogen flashlights. Halogen long-arc lights produce illumination by maintaining an electric arc between two conductors, generating light from both the heated conductor ends (typically carbon rods) and the arc itself. Arc lamps are typically employed in high-intensity applications, such as searchlights, large-scale film projectors, and floodlights. Automotive halogen bulbs are utilized in both passenger and commercial vehicles, catering to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) requirements as well as aftermarket needs.

The automotive halogen bulbs market is expected to witness growth due to the increasing number of road accidents. Road accidents involve various incidents on roadways, including collisions, obstructions, and mishaps involving vehicles, pedestrians, animals, or objects. After road accidents, many vehicles often require repairs and replacement of damaged components, including headlights. Automotive halogen bulbs are commonly used in vehicle headlights, and these accidents can lead to a higher demand for replacement bulbs. For example, a report published by the US-based National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in January 2023 revealed that in the first nine months of 2022, 31,785 people lost their lives in car accidents. The estimates showed an increase in fatalities in 25 states during the first three quarters of 2022. Deaths rose by 12% on rural interstates, 10% in collisions involving at least one large vehicle, and 8% among bikers and other categories, compared to the first half of 2021. Therefore, the growing number of road accidents is a driving force behind the growth of the automotive halogen bulbs market.

The increasing popularity of LED and laser headlights in vehicles, particularly cars and bikes, is posing a challenge to the automotive halogen bulbs market. LED and laser headlights are known for their compact size and high light emission capabilities compared to halogen headlights. Moreover, they have an extended lifespan of over 20,000 hours, significantly outperforming halogen bulbs in terms of durability. For example, companies like Osram have provided laser headlamps for vehicles such as the BMW i8 and Audi R8 LMX, showcasing the preference for advanced lighting technologies over traditional halogen bulbs.

To meet the rising demand in the automotive sector, manufacturers are increasingly introducing dual-beam halogen bulbs. These products incorporate dual metal filaments that generate a high-energy dual-beam pattern, encompassing both high beam and low beam functions. The resulting beams emit high-intensity light. Dual filament halogen bulbs come in various types, including H4, H7, and H13. As an example, Phoenix Lamps, an India-based lighting manufacturer, produces and supplies dual filament halogen lamps, specifically H4 and HS1 lamps, which are utilized in four-wheelers and commercial vehicles. These lamps are provided to automotive companies such as Piaggio, Mahindra, BMW, and Volkswagen. This addresses the growing demand for dual-beam halogen bulbs in the automotive industry.

Prominent companies in the automotive halogen bulbs market are actively developing new products like halogen headlamp bulbs to cater to larger customer bases, increase sales, and boost their revenue. Halogen headlamp bulbs are specialized electric light bulbs designed for use in vehicle headlights. For example, in December 2022, Robert Bosch GmbH, a German engineering company, introduced the Plus 200 Gigalight halogen bulb. This product stands out for its ability to emit up to 200 percent more light compared to conventional halogen bulbs. The Plus 200 Gigalight's light beam can extend up to 150 meters without causing glare to oncoming drivers. Furthermore, it produces a significantly whiter light output, resulting in a remarkably sharp contrast. This enhanced illumination allows drivers on rural roads to detect traffic signs, obstacles, and potential hazards, including animals crossing the road, much earlier. Moreover, vehicles equipped with such powerful halogen lights are more conspicuous to pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists. These product innovations align with companies' strategies to meet the demands of a broader customer base, increase their sales, and enhance overall revenue in the automotive halogen bulbs market.

In April 2022, Suprajit Engineering, an Indian company specializing in mechanical cable and halogen bulb manufacturing, completed a strategic acquisition of Kongsberg Automotive ASA for a total transaction value of $42 million. The primary objective of this acquisition by Suprajit Engineering is to obtain actuation technology expertise and venture into the production of Electro-Magnetic Actuators (EMA). Kongsberg Automotive ASA, headquartered in Norway, is a well-established manufacturer of automotive components.
