The increasing vehicle ownership is expected to propel the growth of the automotive halogen bulbs market going forward. Vehicle ownership refers to the possession or legal holding of a motor vehicle by an individual, household, or organization for personal or commercial use. Rising vehicle ownership is driven by higher incomes, growing urban and rural mobility needs, and improved access to affordable automobiles, leading more households to purchase personal vehicles for everyday transportation and convenience. Automotive halogen bulbs support this rise by offering an affordable, dependable lighting solution that helps new car buyers and existing owners maintain safe visibility, minimize replacement expenses, and keep their vehicles road-ready without requiring costly lighting upgrades. For instance, in March 2025, the International Energy Agency, a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, stated that electric car sales exceeded 17 million globally in 2024, reflecting growth of over 25%, with 3.5 million additional units sold compared to 2023. Therefore, the increasing vehicle ownership is driving the growth of the automotive halogen bulbs market.

The increasing number of road accidents is expected to boost the growth of the automotive halogen bulbs market going forward. Road accidents refer to incidents occurring on roadways involving collisions, obstructions, or other mishaps involving vehicles, pedestrians, animals, or objects. Following road accidents, many vehicles require repairs and replacement of damaged components, including headlights. Automotive halogen bulbs, commonly used in vehicle headlights, experience heightened demand as these incidents often necessitate replacement bulbs. For instance, in October 2025, the European Parliament, a Europe-based government agency, reported that approximately 19,940 people died in EU road accidents in 2024, a 2% decrease from 2023 and a decline from 24,358 deaths a decade earlier. Therefore, the increasing number of road accidents is driving the growth of the automotive halogen bulbs market.
