Automotive Intelligent Lighting Market

Automotive Intelligent Lighting: Introduction

• Automotive intelligent lighting enhances light distribution from the headlights as per vehicle driving circumstances. Depending on vehicle steering input and speed, the automotive intelligent lighting points the low-beam headlights toward the direction the chauffer intends to drive. The automotive intelligent lighting uses artificial intelligence while adjusting the illumination during switching lights on and off.
• Rise in preference for active safety features in automotive has fueled the development of intelligent lighting. Presently, a transition has been witnessed in the automotive industry where vehicles are shifting from conventional lighting systems to smart, advanced, and more intelligent automotive lighting.                                              

Key Drivers of Global Automotive Intelligent Lighting Market:

• Automotive intelligent lighting redirects low-beam headlamp units in accordance with the vehicle speed and steering angle at night to improve visibility during cornering. Driving a vehicle has become a safer operation with the advent of automotive intelligent lighting, as it assists the driver in case of poor visibility in extreme weather conditions by optimizing the distribution of light according to the requirement.
• Automotive intelligent lighting is a part of advanced driver assistance system that changes the vehicle lighting pattern during a drive on a winding road in order to compensate for the road curvature, thereby enhancing night visibility. This is projected to augment the demand for automotive intelligent lighting during the forecast period.
• Increase in support through stringent government safety regulations across the globe to integrate safety automotive features such as ADAS in vehicles supplemented with rise in road fatalities due to poor night vision is anticipated to boost the automotive intelligent lighting market during the forecast period.
• The trend of urbanization is increasing at an exponential rate, which is leading to an increase in the average income of urban population, enabling them to enhance their lifestyles. Furthermore, rising demand for passenger cars is prompting manufacturers to increase the production of commercial vehicles. This, in turn, is boosting the automotive intelligent lighting market across the globe.

Evolution of New Technologies to Offer Attractive Opportunities:

• Matrix LED, OLED, and laser lighting are some of the new and promising technologies for automotive lighting manufacturers. In matrix LED headlights, the high-beam unit is made of 25 individual segments. Small LEDs work in conjunction with lenses and reflectors connected in series are activated and deactivated individually according to the situation. This enables the system to react precisely to other cars. It recognizes other cars using a camera and illuminates the road brightly. These offers better opportunities for the automotive intelligent lighting market across the globe.

High Cost of LED Lights to Hamper Market:

• High cost of LED lights is a key concern for the automotive lighting market. Halogen and Xenon/HID, which were used earlier, have become less popular with the introduction of new technologies. Halogen lights have major disadvantage of heating and energy-wasting, while Xenon light is more complex and requires some time to achieve full brightness. The LED, on the other hand, is small and allows great manipulation for various shapes and designs. However, the use of LED is confined to high-end or premium vehicles, as LED is more expensive than other technologies. The high cost of LED can be attributed to its high production cost. This factors hamper the automotive intelligent lighting market across the globe.

Europe to Hold Significant Share of Global Automotive Intelligent Lighting Market:

• Rate of adoption of technology in Europe is higher than that in other regions, as vehicle manufacturers of the automotive industry in the region emphasize more on the research and development of components. High penetration of premium and luxury vehicles in several countries across the region, including Germany and the U. K., is likely to boost the market for automotive intelligent lighting in the region.
