High Beam Assist Market

Global High Beam Assist Market Size

The global high beam assist market was valued at USD 4.12 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to reach a valuation of USD 4.31 billion in 2033 from USD 6.22 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.68% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.

The high beam assist gives the programmed high pillar, which is valuable for the driver while driving a vehicle, particularly on the highway. It consequently switches between the low beam and high beam depending on traffic going ahead and the opposite direction. The headlight control module uses images from the video camera to measure ambient light and assess the distance between the vehicles ahead in heavy traffic. The Headlight Control Module improves driver visibility at night or in bad weather by controlling the on/off function of the vehicle's headlights through traffic detection. Since the headlight control module constantly monitors the headlight beam, the driver can turn the headlight continuously or at a low beam without disturbing other vehicles. The headlight control module not only controls the segmentation or range of the beam but also the width of the light according to road traffic conditions.

MARKET DRIVERS

The demand for automatic high beam systems for vehicles is expected to increase at a significant rate due to the increasing concern of customers for personal safety. The vehicle's automatic high beam system helps improve visibility while driving at night and in fog. The technology also helps reduce the disturbance of high-beam flashing on the driver of vehicles coming from the opposite direction.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

However, the growth of the auto high beam market for vehicles is expected to be affected due to the latest technology, such as the adaptive intelligent front lighting system, which has the function of adjusting the headlight beam.

Impact Of COVID-19 Market

The coronavirus outbreak has disrupted the automotive supply chain globally. The pandemic has not only disrupted manufacturing facilities around the world but also vehicle sales around the world. The suspension of manufacturing facilities and new vehicle sales affected the production of automotive lighting components. Demand for conventional and electric vehicles is expected to trend downward in 2020, further impacting the automotive lighting market. Besides, the R&D investments are supposed to be affected predominantly, hampering the development of novel lighting solutions in vehicles. The demand for lighting is mainly proportional to the production of vehicles. Now, with the COVID-19 outbreak, vehicle production, as well as sales, have seen a significant drop and are expected to show a 20% drop in 2020. This drop is expected to hurt the market for automotive lighting. However, companies are taking various measures to combat the adverse effects of the epidemic.

REPORT COVERAGE

SEGMENT ANALYSIS

By Technology Insights

A light-transmitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source that produces light when current passes through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons.

By Function Insights

LED headlights are generally offered in high-end vehicles due to their various advantages, such as lower power consumption, more adaptive functionality, and aesthetic appearance. Due to these characteristics, LED is considered to be the main market for headlight control modules and is expected to remain the same in the future.

By Vehicle Insights

Passenger vehicles can be subdivided into sedans, sedans, and multiple utility vehicles, while utility vehicles can be divided into light utility vehicles and heavy utility vehicles.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

North America is expected to experience significant growth in the forecast years due to the oversized vehicle fleet in the region and the high rate of adoption of advanced technologies in the region. Europe is likely to have the predominant participation in the headlight control module due to the large production of cars and the high implementation of advanced technology related to the improvement of the safety features of vehicles, due to strict government regulation and strong public awareness.

The Asia-Pacific region is supposed to see the fastest growth in the global high beam assist market due to high consumer adoption and high car sales. China and Japan have obtained the largest market shares due to the high production and sales of vehicles in the domestic market. Furthermore, producers in these nations are zeroing in on innovative progressions, including lighting, which is driving interest in high beam assist modules. Increasing consumer per capita income and high SUV sales in emerging economies like India will further boost the market.
