Future Market Insights, in an October 2026 update, estimates the automotive lighting market at USD 32.1 billion in 2026, rising from USD 30.2 billion in 2025, and projects USD 58.6 billion by 2036 at a 6.2 percent CAGR. Headlamps lead lighting-type sales at 38 percent, and LED sources are expected to reach 61 percent of technology sales in 2026, more than double halogen's share.
The report flags margin pressure among lamp makers, with suppliers shifting capacity toward trucks and digital modules, while India at 8.2 percent and China at 8.1 percent post the fastest country growth as LED reaches compact cars. RINA TECHNOLOGY's LED-based decorative lighting lines, from ambient strips to grille modules, align with the LED-first shift documented across both OEM and aftermarket channels.
