The automotive ambient lighting market size is projected to reach USD 6.2 billion by 2027 from an estimated USD 3.8 billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 10.6% from 2022 to 2027. The key factors driving the market growth include increasing penetration of ambient lighting in low to mid-segment vehicles, inclination toward luxury, and increasing vehicle production. The improving economic condition of developing regions such as Asia Oceania has boosted the market for premium vehicles, which are equipped with ambient lighting.

“The footwell segment for automotive ambient lighting segment is expected to hold a dominant share throughout the forecast period as most of OEMs offer automotive ambient lighting in Footwell as standard feature”
Footwell segment is estimated to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The penetration of footwell ambient lighting is higher as compared to other applications. It is available in most of top variants of C and D segment vehicles. In E segment vehicles, footwell ambient lighting is offered as a standard feature. Ambient lighting is also available as a package, certain applications such as footwells and doors are the most basic features. Hence, the penetration of ambient lighting is expected to increase in line with the increasing penetration of footwell ambient lighting in lower to mid-range cars in the future.

“Fuel Cell Electric vehicles (FCEV) is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate owing to government support in various form to promote these vehicles”
FCEVs is projected to register higher growth rate for ambient lighting market among all electric vehicles owing to the government initiatives for the development of fuel cell technology and infrastructure are also. For instance, in 2017, the Korean government offered a subsidy of USD 24,000 for FCEV purchases. The aggressive incentive plan is designed to have 9,000 FCEVs on South Korean roads in 2020. In April 2017, the Federal Government of Canada announced a funding of USD 1.6 million to Hydrogenics to build two hydrogen fueling stations in the Greater Toronto Area. In Germany, the government plans to build a national network of 400 hydrogen refueling stations by 2025 to promote FCEV sales in the country. Governments are also incentivizing OEMs to develop hydrogen infrastructure to support fuel cell technology. For instance, Hyundai is working with governments and other sources around the world to open more hydrogen refueling stations. The Korean government plans to have 100 stations operating nationally in 2020 and more than double that number by 2025. These efforts would prompt market growth of FCEVs which in turn results in higher growth of ambient lighting market in these vehicles

“North America is anticipated to be the second-largest market for automotive ambient lighting in 2022 ”
North America is projected to hold the second-largest share of the automotive ambient lighting market by 2027 as the North American automotive industry is one of the most advanced industries in the world. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has fostered the growth of the automotive industry in the region. The US, which is largest market for automotive ambient lighting has gradually shifted focus from incandescent lighting systems such as Halogen to Xenon and now to inorganic and organic LEDs.
