The on-highway vehicle lighting market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $31.1 billion in 2024 to $32.69 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in automotive manufacturing, innovation in lighting materials, environmental concerns, consumer demand for efficiency, automotive design evolution.
The on-highway vehicle lighting market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.51 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to regulatory changes and standards, integration of advanced feature, demand for energy efficiency, automotive design trends, emergence of autonomous vehicles. Major trends in the forecast period include embrace of connected car concepts, customization and personalization, focus on safety innovations, aesthetic and brand differentiation, and shift to 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 expanding automotive industry is anticipated to drive the growth of the on-highway vehicle lighting market in the future. This industry includes all companies and activities related to the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. The rising demand for automobiles, spurred by economic growth, increased consumer spending, and urbanization, creates a need for advanced and efficient lighting solutions, thereby fostering the expansion of the on-highway vehicle lighting market. For example, in 2023, the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), a Belgium-based industry group, reported that global car production reached nearly 76 million units, reflecting a significant 10.2% increase from the previous year. Consequently, the growth of the automotive sector is propelling the advancement 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.
In January 2022, Faurecia acquired Hella GmbH & Co KGaA for $5.7 billion (EUR 5.3 billion), making Faurecia the world's seventh-largest automotive supplier.
