Automotive Exterior Smart Lighting Market Trends

The rising adoption of advanced technologies is driving the market growth

Market CAGR for automotive exterior smart lighting is driven by the increasing adoption of cutting-edge technology products. Vehicle manufacturers are continuously working to create technologically advanced features that are efficient, lightweight, and small. Emerging technologies contain laser, OLED, and matrix-led lighting. The high-beam unit of a matrix led contains 25 separate elements. The matrix LED light can respond appropriately to other automobiles' gratitude to the high-beam feature. Because matrix led is attached to the sensors, it automatically deactivates, activates, or dims the light, confirming that other drivers are not blinded. For instance, in January 2023. Nichia Corporation cooperated with Infineon Technologies to develop a high-definition front illumination system containing 16,000 micro LED matrix solutions. Only those lights switched on in this solution are required for the light pattern, improving the solution's energy efficiency.

Additionally, road traffic injuries stay a substantial public health problem due to poor road lighting and inadequate vehicle lighting systems. Meanwhile, governments across the world have designed stringent regulations associated with the use of effective lighting in automobiles. In September 2021, the Canadian Vehicle Lighting Regulation introduced modern lighting standards, such as side feature lights to turn on automatically at night, tail lights with daytime running lights, and dark dashboards to warn drivers to turn on lights.

Manufacturers' substantial investments in research and development and creation to design automotive exterior smart lighting systems consistent with driver allowance systems and proximity sensors are anticipated to boost market revenue. In addition, the growing number of street accidents has increased concerns about vehicle and passenger safety, driving up demand for automobile lighting solutions. Government and transport authorities' strict regulations to improve road safety and boost the market's revenue.

 For instance, in April 2021, Ford declared it had created a predictive smart headlight technique that produces beams into upcoming crossroads even before drivers notice them, illuminating risks and other road users fast and effectively. The prototype developed lighting system utilizes GPS location data, cutting-edge technologies, and highly precise street geometry information to determine proper turns in the road ahead, driving the automotive exterior smart lighting market revenue.
