Lighting is an important functional aspect of any automobile as it enables the driver to drive the vehicle effectively. Lighting also plays an important part in the safety of the vehicle. The lighting components in the automobiles enable the driver to see in darkness and in adverse weather conditions such as intense fog or smog. Besides, the automotive lightings also provide guidelines and visibility for other vehicles and for the pedestrians, enabling them to see the size and direction of the vehicle and take precautionary measures to avoid collision. Besides these functional aspects, the lighting in automobiles also add an aesthetic value and add to the gloss of the vehicle and make it more attractive. Presently, LED lightings are being used for the purpose of automotive lighting and have replaced the older technology of halogen lighting. Increasing demands for energy efficiency in vehicles and a number of government regulations regarding vehicle safety have made automotive exterior LED lighting popular. The growing demand for automobiles around the world, increased customization demands from the consumers and ever growing production of automobiles are driving factors for this market. However, the high cost of LED lighting coupled with an astronomical research and development costs and an uncertain economic situation in European region are projected to restrict the market growth for automotive LED lighting during the assessment period.
