Although the demand for the auto market in 2022 will decline due to the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the counterattack of the Chinese epidemic, but with the increase in the penetration rate of LED headlights, coupled with advanced technologies such as smart headlights, logo lamps, and smart ambient lights The development of the market will still support the market demand for automotive lighting in 2022.
Up to now, car lights mainly include halogen lights, xenon lights, LED lights, laser lights, OLED lights, etc. Among them, LED lights are expanding steadily and orderly due to the advantages of low energy consumption, high efficiency, long life, and variable shapes. market share, and has been widely used in the automotive field.
Among them, the application in the interior of the car, such as the dashboard of the car, the backlight switch, the car reading lamp or the head-up display system, is relatively mature; and in the outside of the car, such as the small light field of the automobile combination taillight and brake light, LED has also been used; even Representing high-end technology headlights, LED technology has also been widely used in recent years.
According to TrendForce, the penetration rate of LED headlights in global passenger cars will reach 53.1% in 2020, while the penetration rate in electric vehicles will reach 85%, and in 2021, they will reach 60% and 90% respectively increased to 72% and 92%.
With the gradual improvement of laws and regulations on adaptive headlights in various countries, and the introduction of Micro LED pixel arrays, the number of pixels that can be accurately independently digitally controlled will be greatly increased to 10,000~30,000 pixels, which can flexibly adjust the illumination area to increase driving. Safety, and thus meeting the needs of regulations in various regional markets, will help auto lamp manufacturers reduce the cost of headlamp development, production and logistics in different regional markets.
It is expected that the market penetration rate of adaptive headlights will have the opportunity to reach 13.2% in 2026, which will drive the output value of the overall automotive lighting market to reach US$39.496 billion in 2026, with a compound growth rate of 4.7% from 2021 to 2026. In the long run, the trend of automotive lighting will be towards personalization, communication display and driver assistance.
