- Press Release -

Rockville, Md. The global automotive exterior LED lighting market is set to reach nearly US$ 1.243 Bn by 2022 on sluggish growth, according to Fact.MR, as LED steadily replaces older halogen technology. Beyond helping drivers see in darkness and poor weather, exterior lighting signals a vehicle's size and direction to others and adds to its looks, and demand for energy efficiency and safety compliance is pushing the switch to LED.

The aftermarket dominates distribution, compact passenger cars carry the largest vehicle share, and 12V systems anchor the market by voltage. Europe leads across the key segments.

Products, Channels and Vehicles

Parking lights are a growing product line, reaching nearly US$ 138 Mn by 2022 at over a tenth of revenue and gaining share. The aftermarket holds nearly two-thirds of revenue in 2017 as owners retrofit and upgrade lighting, though it cedes some share over the period. By vehicle, compact passenger cars reach nearly US$ 344 Mn by 2022, led by Europe. By voltage, the 12V segment grows from about US$ 677 Mn in 2017 to US$ 776 Mn by 2022 at a 2.8% CAGR.

Europe is the leading region across the main segments, anchored by strong demand and a well-established automotive base.

Efficiency and Safety Drive Demand

The market runs on regulation and performance. Rising demand for energy-efficient vehicles and a growing body of safety rules have made exterior LED lighting popular, while customization and steady vehicle production add to the pull. Growth is held back mainly by the high cost of LED technology, heavy research and development spending, and an uncertain economic backdrop in Europe.

Suppliers and Their Playbook

The field brings together specialist lighting and tier-one component makers.

• Changzhou Xingyu Automotive Lighting Systems Co., Ltd., Koninklijke Philips N.V, HELLA KGaA Hueck & Co, Lumax Industries Ltd, OSRAM Licht AG, Texas Instruments Incorporated, Magneti Marelli S.p.A., Imasen Electric Industrial Co., Koito Manufacturing Co., Stanley Electric Co. Ltd, Zizala Lichtsysteme GmbH, and Valeo SA are among the key players in the report.

Reading the Market for Decisions

For suppliers, growth favours cost-competitive LED systems and a strong aftermarket presence. Investors get a market with steady, regulation-led demand. Procurement and retail teams can plan around the aftermarket leading distribution, compact cars carrying volume, and Europe offering the largest opportunity through 2022.
