By registering a CAGR of 21.7% during the forecast period, the EV lighting market is anticipated to witness tremendous growth in comparison to other automotive lighting systems. The EV lighting market analysis report predicts its growth from USD 2,932.8 million in 2023 to USD 20,902 million by 2033.
The EV lighting market has grown in prominence recently with the adoption of a particular type of light in the manufacturing of high-end or luxury electric vehicles. For instance, EV firms like BYTON, NIO, and WEY are delivering all-LED lighting on their SUV category electric vehicles. With the more and more introduction of such types of electric vehicles in the coming days, the demand for EV lighting is expected to strengthen further.
The higher sales of electric two-wheelers in the emerging economies of Asia Pacific have also increased the sales of EV lighting. Energy efficiency is a crucial factor in the E2W category, since they are powered by a 3kWh battery, and LEDs can provide excellent value in this regard. The adoption of more fancy lights to make electric two-wheelers attractive for the younger generation is poised to further the EV lighting trends.
In light of financial limitations, low-priced BEVs in China's A00 small segment which represented 35% of EV sales have halogen headlights rather than LED. Another popular mass-market PHEV, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, only offers all-LED lighting mostly on the upper version.
The market's expansion is getting hampered by the high cost of electric diodes and unpredictable raw material costs. Additionally, it is projected that the increased demand for sophisticated technologies in EVs and the EV popularity in developing countries would offer market participants a tremendous chance for growth.

The overall market share of EV lights in comparison to other components for EVs was marginal and was nearly USD 1,536.2 million in 2018. The United States had 45 EV models, then followed by Europe with 30 EV models and China with roughly 240 EV types. In total 270 EVs were available for purchase worldwide as per the estimates by July 2019 keeping the variety of EV lighting limited.
The global sales of EV lighting are expanded as a result of rising EV manufacturing and its adoption among the general populace. Other factors such as the increased emphasis on traffic safety and the increased application of government rules are expected to play a crucial role. So by following an annual growth rate of 11.8%, the total valuation of the said market reached USD 2,400 million in 2022.
Advanced inventions, such as HIDs, are frequently used by modern commercial electric vehicles to improve visibility on road and address safety issues. Electric commercial trucks only have a very little amount of penetration for traditional xenon lights requiring an efficient EV lighting system.
The introduction of high-end commercial EV truck models with cutting-edge lighting systems is anticipated to increase demand for EV lighting internationally. For instance, Volvo introduced the FH line of heavy trucks with adjustable LED headlights in the year 2020. Big commercial trucks also boast an ‘intelligent lighting system’ that demonstrates the growing use of cutting-edge headlights in commercial EVs.
The sales of EV lighting are ultimately poised to be driven by 'EV owners' desire for aesthetically pleasing lights in their cars and two-wheelers. Moreover, the trend of modern vehicle lighting systems is also being fueled by the introduction of high-performance Xenon lights for EVs. Additionally, it is anticipated that the increasing sales of EVs with self-drive technology would present profitable prospects for suppliers of EV lighting.
Although most electric vehicles available in the market are battery operated hybrid EV category is gaining prominence in recent times. Halogen lights have historically been the most widely used lighting technology because of their low cost and accessibility, with xenon and LED being the costly options.
An LED headlamp system needs 16 to 18 Watts to provide an output that is equivalent to or even higher than halogen headlights. Therefore, halogen lights are preferred less for EVs which consume 55 watts to create 350 to 400 Lumens of light.
Another simple explanation for the increased use of LEDs in EVs is their longevity and efficacy. Moreover, the fact that rear and higher mount stop lights, which are by default LEDs, have also rendered the LED light segment dominating in the market.
