The automotive led drivers market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $30.66 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to stricter emission norms, autonomous vehicle lighting needs, growth of electric and hybrid vehicles, demand for intelligent lighting, miniaturization of electronics. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of advanced led lighting systems, growth of adaptive headlighting, integration of smart lighting controls, demand for energy-efficient drivers, expansion of electric vehicles.

The growing automotive sector is expected to propel the growth of the automotive LED driver market going forward. The automotive sector includes the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles, representing a large and dynamic global industry comprising original equipment manufacturers, component suppliers, dealerships, and mobility service providers. The expansion of this sector is supported by the rise of ride-sharing services, car-sharing platforms, and mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) solutions, which increase vehicle utilization and production requirements. Automotive LED drivers facilitate this growth by enabling the efficient and reliable functioning of LED lighting systems used in headlights, taillights, interior lighting, safety illumination, and advanced exterior lighting applications. For instance, in 2024, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), a France-based trade association, global production of cars and commercial vehicles increased from 0.0851 billion units in 2022 to 0.09355 billion units in 2023. Additionally, in May 2023, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), a Belgium-based automotive industry organization, global motor vehicle production reached 0.0854 billion units in 2022. Therefore, the expanding automotive sector is driving the growth of the automotive LED driver market.

Major companies operating in the automotive LED drivers market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as code-free LED drivers to simplify design processes, enhance safety, and shorten time-to-market. Code-free drivers are electronic LED controllers that can be configured using graphical interfaces without the need for embedded software programming. For instance, in October 2025, Melexis NV, a Belgium-based microelectronic semiconductor company, launched the MLX80124, a code-free LIN LED driver designed for automotive ambient lighting applications. This solution supports RGB LED control with integrated diagnostics, temperature-compensated color mixing, and calibration for LEDs from different suppliers, ensuring uniform lighting performance. With automotive-grade durability, including AEC-Q100 qualification and compliance with ISO 26262 up to ASIL B, the driver enables faster development and easier integration of dynamic ambient lighting systems in vehicles.

In September 2024, Oracle Lighting, a Louisiana-based provider of automotive lighting solutions, acquired Trigger Control Systems for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Oracle Lighting aims to strengthen its position in the automotive lighting industry by integrating Trigger Control Systems’ advanced wireless control and 12-volt power distribution technologies. This integration is intended to complement Oracle’s existing LED product lineup and expand its portfolio, offering customers more innovative and seamlessly integrated vehicle lighting solutions. Trigger Control Systems is a Portugal-based company specializing in automotive LED driver technologies.
