The rise in road accidents caused by low visibility and fog is expected to drive growth in the on-highway vehicle lighting market. Fog, a dense ground-level cloud, reduces road visibility and increases accident risks. On-highway lighting solutions, including fog lights and standard vehicle headlights, improve visibility in such conditions, helping prevent collisions. For instance, in January 2024, Roads Australia reported that road fatalities in 2023 reached 1,266, a 7.3% increase compared with the previous year. Therefore, the prevalence of accidents in low-visibility conditions is fueling demand for advanced vehicle lighting systems.

Key companies in the market are developing innovations such as digital front-lighting (DFL) to expand their customer base and sales. DFL uses digital control and projection systems to optimize illumination and enhance safety. For example, in July 2023, Marelli (Italy) and Osram (Germany) launched the h-Digi microLED system, featuring 40,000 LED pixels (20,000 per lamp) in a matrix setup. This technology enables fully adaptive low- and high-beam operation, dynamic curve lighting, and glare-free high beam block-out zones. It can adjust to Town, Country, Motorway, and adverse weather conditions, offering flexible and affordable lighting solutions for a wide range of vehicles.

In May 2024, First Brands Group LLC, a US-based automotive parts manufacturer, acquired Lumileds Holding B.V.’s Lamps and Accessories business for $238 million.
