This is one of the major factors driving the growth of the global Adaptive Lighting system market during the period.

Lighting is an integral part of the automotive industry due to the growing preference for environmental concerns and increased safety. The substantial increase in technology development in the automotive adaptive headlights industry has transformed from gas discharge-based light sources to a Light-emitting diode. The ALS optimizes the light distribution from the headlights according to the driving and road circumstances. Depending on the market forecast related to the vehicle speed and steering input, the system projects the low-beam adaptive headlights in the direction the driver intends to travel. The way for automakers to smart headlights helps in providing an optimized vision to the driver at night and during other poor-sight conditions of the road by adapting the lighting angle and intensity of the light. The society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) is the apex industry body representing vehicle manufacturers in India. Trade shows (Auto Expo) in India support automobile companies to showcase their new models and create awareness among customers. Whereas the Make in India initiative has boosted the Automobile manufacturing industry in India, and as a result, tremendous growth is anticipated in the industry over the forecast period.

Automotive Adaptive Lighting Market COVID 19 Analysis

Like any other economy, the Indian economy has also been hugely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, and due to global supply chain disruption, factories shut down. The car dealership that closed in the automotive industry has faced a huge setback. Vehicle sales in the historic period of 2019 has already witnessed around a 13% decline compared to the previous year, and in 2020 vehicle sales are at their all-time low. In the period that had ended in 2019, the sale of passenger vehicles are 3,816,891 units as compared to 4,400,151 in 2018.

Whereas last year major global players announced huge investments that will boost the Indian market in the coming years. For instance,

In December 2019, Force Motors announced to invest USD 85.85 million in developing two new models over the next two years. Similarly, Morris Garages (MG), which has already invested a considerable amount in entering the Indian market, has announced an investment of USD 429.25 million in India.

The arrival of the pandemic has presented a challenging outlook to the market. However, the government regulations followed by the rise in funding and investment will help the market opt for expansion during the forecast period.
