The automotive light emitting diode (LED) bulbs market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $10.28 billion in 2024 to $11.34 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to energy efficiency awareness, regulatory standards, safety and visibility, aesthetics and design.
The automotive light emitting diode (LED) bulbs market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.67 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electric vehicle (ev) growth, autonomous vehicles, smart lighting and connectivity, sustainability and green practices, advanced driver assistance systems (adas). Major trends in the forecast period include matrix led headlights, animated lighting, miniaturization, customization and personalization, lidar integration.
Technological advancements in automotive light-emitting diode (LED) technology are expected to be a significant driver of growth in the automotive LED bulbs market. New technologies such as micro-adaptive front lighting systems (µAFS) LED headlights, bend lighting headlamps, and flexible organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) for vehicle lighting are contributing to the market's growth. For instance, in January 2022, Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation, a Luxembourg-based company specializing in analog and mixed-signal semiconductor platform solutions, introduced its organic light-emitting diode display integrated circuit (OLED DDIC) designed for next-generation automotive displays. This OLED DDIC is based on 40 nm process technology and is tailored for center stack displays and instrument cluster displays, offering a wide range of resolutions, including Full High Definition (FHD), suitable for both rigid and flexible OLED displays. Moreover, this next-generation DDIC is designed as an all-in-one solution, integrating source drivers, gate drivers, and timing controllers on a single chip, reducing production costs. As a result, the increasing adoption of advanced LED technologies is expected to drive the demand for automotive LED bulbs, furthering market growth.
Major companies operating in the automotive light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs market are actively developing new products like digital front lighting to expand their customer base, boost sales, and increase revenue. Digital front lighting (DFL) is an advanced automotive lighting technology that surpasses traditional adaptive or swiveling headlights. For example, in July 2023, Italy-based company Marelli, in collaboration with Austria-based semiconductor firm ams-OSRAM AG, introduced h-Digi microLED. This product stands out with its use of a matrix illumination system comprising approximately 40,000 LED pixels (20,000 per bulb). This innovative system selectively controls the LEDs to provide highly adaptable low-beam and high-beam light distributions suitable for various driving conditions, including town, country, highway, and adverse weather scenarios. The Marelli microLED system is built upon the EVIYOS 2 light source from ams OSRAM, and it achieves this enhanced adjustability of the illumination field through a unique optical lens system and a new electronic control developed by Marelli's automotive lighting and sensing division. These innovations are aimed at providing advanced lighting solutions to meet the evolving needs of the automotive industry.
Growing environmental concerns regarding global warming and carbon emissions have led to increased customer interest in Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs). OLEDs use organic materials in their emitting panels and offer advantages such as color tuning and the creation of light panels. Major automobile manufacturers like BMW and Audi have adopted OLED technology in their vehicles, particularly for taillights. This choice is motivated by the flexibility, efficiency, and uniform lighting provided by OLEDs, aligning with the industry's commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.
The increasing demand for luxury vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the automotive Light-Emitting Diode (LED) bulbs market. Luxury vehicles offer a higher level of comfort, performance, features, and quality compared to standard or mass-market cars. They often come equipped with the latest technologies, including advanced LED lighting systems such as LED headlights, taillights, and interior lighting. This rising demand for luxury vehicles contributes to the adoption of advanced LED lighting solutions. For example, recent reports from Cox Automotive, a US-based software company, indicate that luxury car sales have seen significant growth, accounting for nearly 18% of all car sales in 2022. This trend has also resulted in higher industry average transaction prices (ATPs). The percentage of luxury vehicles in overall sales has continued to increase, with the average luxury car customer paying a record high of $67,050 for a new vehicle in November 2022. This increase in luxury vehicle sales is a key driver of the automotive LED bulbs market.
In October 2022, Plastic Omnium, a French company specializing in headlights and signal lighting products, acquired Varroc Engineering Limited for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition is intended to enhance Plastic Omnium's portfolio of lighting products. Varroc Engineering Limited is an Indian-based automotive component manufacturer and supplier.
