The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as advancements in automotive manufacturing, innovations in lighting materials, increasing environmental concerns, consumer demand for efficiency, and the evolution of automotive design.

The on-highway vehicle lighting market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $39.4 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to regulatory changes and standards, the integration of advanced features, the demand for energy efficiency, evolving automotive design trends, and the emergence of autonomous vehicles. Major trends in this period include the embrace of connected car concepts, a focus on customization and personalization, advancements in safety innovations, a drive towards aesthetic and brand differentiation, and a shift towards energy-efficient solutions.

The anticipated growth of the on-highway vehicle lighting market is driven by an increase in road accidents attributed to low visibility and fog. Fog, characterized by a dense ground-level cloud, reduces road visibility and poses a risk of accidents. To mitigate this risk, fog lights and standard vehicle lighting are instrumental in enhancing visibility during foggy conditions, thereby averting accidents resulting from poor visibility. As reported by the Federal Highway Administration of the US Department of Transportation in 2022, approximately 38,700 vehicle crashes occurred due to fog, resulting in over 600 fatalities and injuring 16,300 individuals. Consequently, the surge in road accidents caused by low visibility and fog is a key factor propelling the growth of the on-highway vehicle lighting market.

The on-highway vehicle lighting market is poised to experience growth fueled by the expanding automotive industry. Encompassing a range of activities related to the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles, the automotive industry is witnessing increased demand driven by economic growth, heightened consumer spending, and urbanization. This heightened demand for automobiles necessitates advanced and efficient lighting solutions, contributing to the expansion of the on-highway vehicle lighting market. As indicated by a study from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association in April 2022, global automobile production reached 79.1 million units in 2021, marking a 1.3% increase from the previous year. Additionally, the US Department of Energy reported an 85% growth in electric vehicle sales in 2021. Hence, the thriving automotive industry is a key driver behind the growth of the on-highway vehicle lighting market.

A prominent trend in the on-highway vehicle lighting market is the emergence of product innovation. Major companies in this market are actively introducing innovative products to enhance their market standing. For instance, in January 2023, Nichia Corporation and Infineon Technologies AG jointly unveiled the micro PLS micro-Pixelated LED Light, a high-definition fully integrated micro-LED light engine designed for HD adaptive driving beam applications. This innovative product, based on matrix LED technology, combines high-definition resolution with industry-leading light output and offers a four times wider field-of-view compared to other micro-mirror-based HD matrix-light solutions.

Leading companies in the on-highway vehicle lighting market are investing in the development of innovative products, such as digital front-lighting (DFL), to cater to a broader customer base, drive sales, and increase revenue. DFL is an advanced automotive lighting technology utilizing digital control and projection systems to optimize illumination and enhance visibility on the road. In July 2023, Marelli and Osram introduced the h-Digi microLED, a digital lighting solution featuring an intelligent multipixel LED module for fully adaptive and dynamic headlight operation. With around 40,000 LED pixels arranged in a matrix illumination system, this technology enables selective LED management, providing flexible low-beam and high-beam light distributions tailored to various driving scenarios. Notably, this innovative lighting solution aims to be affordable and accessible for a wide range of vehicles.
