Market Share of Automotive Smart Lighting Industry
The automotive smart lighting market is moderately consolidated and majorly dominated by a few players, such as Koito Manufacturing Co. Ltd, Stanley Electric Co. Ltd, Valeo Group, Osram Licht AG, and Magneti Marelli SpA. The market is highly driven by factors like advanced technology, more use of sensors, growing investment in R&D projects, and a growing market of electric and autonomous vehicles. Major automotive smart lighting manufacturers are developing new technology for the future and acquiring small players to expand their market reach. For instance,
In May 2022, Grupo ZKW laid the first stone of the third phase of a USD 102 million expansion at its Silao, Guanajuato plant that produces headlights, fog lamps, and auxiliary lamps. In the 15,700-square-meter expansion, which is expected to have the capacity to produce 1.5 million headlights per year, ZKW will manufacture headlights and center bar lamps for BMW, Ford, and GM EVs and SUVs.
In April 2021, Ford announced it had developed a predictive smart headlight system that directs beams into upcoming corners even before drivers see them, illuminating hazards and other road users more quickly and effectively. The prototype advanced lighting system uses GPS location data, advanced technologies, and highly accurate street geometry information to accurately identify turns in the road ahead.
