Automotive Laser Projection Global Market Report 2025

The automotive laser projection market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.02 billion in 2024 to $1.23 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21%. The growth during the historic period resulted from the growing trend of vehicle electrification and smart mobility solutions, increasing use of laser projection for navigation and driver information, rising awareness of innovative in-car infotainment systems, growing consumer preference for futuristic vehicle designs, and increasing adoption of laser-based lighting for energy efficiency.

The automotive laser projection market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.61 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.7%. The growth in the forecast period is driven by increasing adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems, rising demand for enhanced vehicle safety features, growing consumer preference for augmented reality head-up displays, increasing integration of laser projection in luxury and premium vehicles, and rising government regulations aimed at road safety and accident reduction. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in high-resolution laser projection systems, integration of laser projection with augmented reality head-up displays, development of compact and energy-efficient laser modules, improvements in adaptive and dynamic projection features, and incorporation of laser projection with advanced driver-assistance systems.

The growing demand for luxury cars is expected to drive the expansion of the automotive laser projection market. Luxury cars, which offer exceptional comfort, performance, and exclusivity, are becoming more popular as disposable incomes rise, allowing consumers to afford premium vehicles. These vehicles are increasingly desirable due to their superior comfort, advanced technology, and status symbol appeal. Automotive laser projection enhances luxury vehicles by enabling advanced head-up displays (HUDs), which project high-resolution information directly onto the windshield. This improves driver safety, navigation, and convenience while maintaining a sleek, modern interior design. For example, in September 2023, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that luxury vehicles made up 18% of all new car sales in the second quarter of 2023, up from 14%. As a result, the growing demand for luxury cars is fueling the expansion of the automotive laser projection market.

Leading companies in the automotive laser projection market are focusing on developing innovative technologies, such as high-power multi-die laser packages, to enhance projection brightness, improve energy efficiency, and enable advanced display features in vehicles. A high-power multi-die laser package integrates several laser diodes within a single unit, providing higher optical power output, improved brightness, and better performance for applications such as automotive projection systems. For instance, in September 2025, ams OSRAM AG, a semiconductor company based in Austria, introduced the Vegalas Power PLPM7_455QA, a high-performance laser product tailored for advanced automotive projection. This multi-die blue laser diode, which delivers 42 W optical output with around 45% efficiency, is ideal for applications such as automotive head-up displays and immersive home cinemas. The module offers higher brightness and longer life compared to traditional lamp sources, while its compact design simplifies system integration and ensures high-quality, sustainable projection.

In July 2025, AMETEK Inc., a US-based manufacturing company, acquired FARO Technologies Inc., a provider of automotive laser projection solutions. This acquisition will help AMETEK strengthen its position in 3D metrology and digital reality solutions across various industrial and manufacturing sectors.

Europe was the largest region in the automotive laser projection market in 2024. The regions covered in automotive laser projection report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the transport sector, particularly in fleet maintenance and logistics operations. Higher duties on imported commercial vehicles, tires, and engine components have increased operational costs for trucking and freight companies, forcing them to raise shipping rates or reduce margins. Airlines and maritime shippers face similar pressures, with tariffs on aircraft parts and shipbuilding materials driving up capital expenditures. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in key export markets have reduced demand for U.S.-made transportation equipment, further straining revenue streams. The sector must now prioritize fuel efficiency, alternative sourcing, and automation to offset rising expenses while maintaining service reliability.
