Automotive Daytime Running Lights Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Traditional Lighting, LED Lighting, Others), By Application Type (Passenger Cars, Commercial Vehicles) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Automotive daytime running light DRL is a vital component of the vehicle lighting system. The DRLs are mainly used to increase the visibility at daytime as well as enhance safety, comfort and give a stylish appearance to the vehicles. The integration of DRLs in vehicles also reduces the number of road accidents in daytime. They include signalling and lighting devices situated in the front, sides, and rear of a vehicle. The DRLs are automatically switched on when the vehicle is in a motion. Various countries across the globe have made it mandatory to install DRLs in vehicles to curb the rising fatalities and enhance the safety of passengers and driver. Moreover, the rapid technological advancement in the automotive industry is propelling the automotive daytime running light market. This development has changed the preference of the consumers from traditional lights to more efficient, durable and trendy HID (High Intensity Discharge) and LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights. Furthermore, the increasing production and sales of automobiles and also the rising demand for electric vehicles is ultimately creating high demand for daytime running lights across the world.

The OEM companies are developing DIY DRL kits for the consumers to install it by themselves. These kits are cost effective and also easy to install. For instance, Philips has developed DIY DRL kits to ease the installation process. Also, the rise in the sales and production of automobiles across the globe is driving the automotive daytime running light market at a faster pace. However, the high cost of LED lights may restrain the growth of the global market in the forecast period.
