SUMMARY
The profile of the automotive lighting industry has lately been undergoing
rapid and significant change. Lighting regulations, once many in number and
different in technical prescriptions are now greatly reduced and substantially
harmonised. Markets have consolidated, as have vehiclemakers and lighting
suppliers, giving rise to regionally- rather than nationally-based players
round the world.
This level of co-operation is fairly unique to the lighting sector, with
technique, practice, subcomponents and even build-facilities being shared at
an unprecedented level.
Partnerships, joint ventures, and other collaborative arrangements serve to
accelerate the presence and prevalence of better lighting on the roads of
developing countries, whilst also elevating the industry's best practices and
reducing the cost automotive lighting sophistication.
So with lighting technology advancing at a staggering pace since the beginning
of the 21st century, and vehicle stylists and buyers growing more daring and
demanding, the wide range of options, considered luxury until recently, is now
a necessity. Furthermore, the growth of supply and demand for vehicles (and,
therefore, for vehicular lighting systems) in developing nations means that
co-operation between lighting makers is at an all-time high.
This latest edition of our automotive lighting report addresses these
collaborations, and offers an overview of the key market drivers and technical
developments. Profiles of the major European and Asian suppliers, plus market
share estimates for the global lighting market by supplier and by Xenon
headlamp systems is provided, along with forecasts by region, namely North
America, Europe and Japan to 2013 by headlamp prevalence.
