Automotive halogen bulbs refer to a category of bulbs that incorporate halogen gas to enhance their light output and extend their operational lifespan.
The primary product variants within the automotive halogen bulbs market include halogen short-arc lights, halogen long-arc lights, and halogen flashlights. Halogen long-arc lights produce illumination by maintaining an electric arc between two conductors, generating light from both the heated conductor ends (typically carbon rods) and the arc itself. Arc lamps are typically employed in high-intensity applications, such as searchlights, large-scale film projectors, and floodlights. Automotive halogen bulbs are utilized in both passenger and commercial vehicles, catering to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) requirements as well as aftermarket needs.
The automotive halogen bulbs market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides automotive halogen bulbs market statistics, including automotive halogen bulbs industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an automotive halogen bulbs market share, detailed automotive halogen bulbs market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the automotive halogen bulbs industry. This automotive halogen bulbs market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The automotive halogen bulbs market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.74 billion in 2024 to $12.63 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to automotive lighting standardization, widespread vehicle ownership, popularity of halogen headlights, safety and road visibility.
The automotive halogen bulbs market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.22 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to led and hid conversion, vehicle electrification, ustainability and energy efficiency, regulatory changes, advanced driver assistance systems (adas). Major trends in the forecast period include adaptive headlights, connected lighting, improved halogen bulbs, custom lighting, lighting design and aesthetics.
The automotive halogen bulbs market is anticipated to witness increased demand due to the cost advantages of halogen bulbs compared to other headlight types. These bulbs are commonly used in projector headlights and offer cost-effective replacement options, as well as lower energy consumption when compared to incandescent bulbs. Moreover, their decent lifespan, typically around 1000 hours under normal conditions, along with government regulations promoting more efficient bulbs, are expected to drive growth in the automotive halogen bulbs market.
The automotive halogen bulbs market is expected to witness growth due to the increasing number of road accidents. Road accidents involve various incidents on roadways, including collisions, obstructions, and mishaps involving vehicles, pedestrians, animals, or objects. After road accidents, many vehicles often require repairs and replacement of damaged components, including headlights. Automotive halogen bulbs are commonly used in vehicle headlights, and these accidents can lead to a higher demand for replacement bulbs. For example, a report published by the US-based National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in January 2023 revealed that in the first nine months of 2022, 31,785 people lost their lives in car accidents. The estimates showed an increase in fatalities in 25 states during the first three quarters of 2022. Deaths rose by 12% on rural interstates, 10% in collisions involving at least one large vehicle, and 8% among bikers and other categories, compared to the first half of 2021. Therefore, the growing number of road accidents is a driving force behind the growth of the automotive halogen bulbs market.
Major companies operating in the automotive halogen bulbs market are focusing on technological advancements, such as front-lighting solutions, to enhance visibility, improve energy efficiency, and comply with stringent regulatory standards. Front lighting is a technique where the light source is positioned in front of the subject to improve visibility and reduce shadows. For example, in July 2023, Mareli, a Japan-based automotive company, launched the h-Digi microLED, which offers high pixel density and dynamic adaptability. This innovation enhances vehicle safety with glare-free technology and precise light distribution. Its compact, energy-efficient design makes it suitable for mid-level vehicles, improving nighttime driving experiences.
Prominent companies in the automotive halogen bulbs market are actively developing new products like halogen headlamp bulbs to cater to larger customer bases, increase sales, and boost their revenue. Halogen headlamp bulbs are specialized electric light bulbs designed for use in vehicle headlights. For example, in December 2022, Robert Bosch GmbH, a German engineering company, introduced the Plus 200 Gigalight halogen bulb. This product stands out for its ability to emit up to 200 percent more light compared to conventional halogen bulbs. The Plus 200 Gigalight's light beam can extend up to 150 meters without causing glare to oncoming drivers. Furthermore, it produces a significantly whiter light output, resulting in a remarkably sharp contrast. This enhanced illumination allows drivers on rural roads to detect traffic signs, obstacles, and potential hazards, including animals crossing the road, much earlier. Moreover, vehicles equipped with such powerful halogen lights are more conspicuous to pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists. These product innovations align with companies' strategies to meet the demands of a broader customer base, increase their sales, and enhance overall revenue in the automotive halogen bulbs market.
In April 2022, Suprajit Engineering, an Indian company specializing in mechanical cable and halogen bulb manufacturing, completed a strategic acquisition of Kongsberg Automotive ASA for a total transaction value of $42 million. The primary objective of this acquisition by Suprajit Engineering is to obtain actuation technology expertise and venture into the production of Electro-Magnetic Actuators (EMA). Kongsberg Automotive ASA, headquartered in Norway, is a well-established manufacturer of automotive components.
