Market Dynamics
The demand for automotive ambient lighting is driven primarily by increasing demand for premium and ultra-luxury vehicles globally. Strong global economic growth and rising disposable incomes are the main driving trends for the automotive ambient lighting market. The high cost of integrating ambient lighting in vehicles is seen as a key challenge for the growth of this market.
Growing demand for the premium segment and ultra-luxury vehicles
In recent years, the strong global economic growth experienced in recent years, particularly in emerging markets has led to wealth creation, rising disposable incomes, and positive socio-economic outcomes. The emergence of a wealthy upper-middle-class has fueled rising demand for premium and ultra-luxury passenger cars. Ambient lighting is a key feature in ultra-luxury vehicles and their increasing production is expected to drive the global automotive ambient lighting market.
High cost of integrating ambient lighting in luxury vehicles
Ambient lighting is a purely cosmetic accessory and does not impart any safety benefits to the vehicle. Integrating ambient lighting with original equipment incurs a high cost for automobile manufacturers. Many luxury carmakers offer ambient lighting as standard, only in the high-end variants of their models. In contrast, it is offered as an extra accessory in the lower-end variants. The high price premium for getting ambient lighting in a luxury vehicle is unattractive to many consumers. The high cost of integrating ambient lighting in luxury vehicles is a key challenge for the growth of this market.
COVID-19 impact analysis
The automotive industry experienced sharp declines in production and sales in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Governments globally imposed lockdowns to curb the pandemic's spread and many manufacturers had to suspend operations temporarily. Industrial manufacturing is a highly capital-intensive business and thus, many component manufacturers were facing bankruptcy. Vehicle production resumed in a limited capacity after lifting the lockdowns.
The COVID-19 pandemics' knock-on effects on the global supply chains have caused shortages of essential components for the automotive industry. It has led to long lead times and reduced production rates, even after the complete lifting of pandemic-related restrictions. The pandemic will have a negligible impact on the medium to long-term growth of the automotive ambient lighting market since the demand for luxury vehicles, especially in emerging markets, remains strong and will continue to grow significantly in the coming years.
Market Segment Analysis
The automotive ambient lighting market is segmented on technology, application, propulsion, vehicle type and region. The global automotive ambient lighting market is segmented into hatchback, executive sedan, SUV, cabriolet, limousine and sports car based on vehicle type. Executive sedan dominates this segment since it is the largest selling type of luxury vehicle globally, outpacing all other luxury vehicles.
