Automotive Lighting Actuators Market Size, Share, and COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Vehicle Type (Passenger Vehicles and Commercial Vehicles), By Type (Solenoid Actuators, Motorized Actuators, and Electronic Actuators), By Sales Channel (OEM and Aftermarket), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Automotive lighting actuators electronically or mechanically control the light's position or intensity. These actuators are found in the vehicle's headlights, taillight, and interior lighting. The purpose of these actuators system is to provide optimal visibility and illumination for the driver and other road users. Headlight actuators can adjust the headlight's position to ensure they provide the correct angle and illumination of the road ahead. Taillights actuators change the intensity of brake lights and good visibility to the drivers of other cars.

Several types of lighting actuators are used in a vehicle; they consist of solenoid actuators that use a solenoid module to adjust the position and intensity of the vehicle lights. Another one is pneumatic actuators which use compressed air to move air to the piston or diaphragm and change the part of the lighting element. They can also be classified based on technology, from electric to LED lighting systems. In summary, automotive lighting system actuators are critical in ensuring proper lighting, control, and visibility to the driver. Favorable trends associated with the automotive industry will drive market growth during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Automotive Lighting Actuators Market

The pandemic significantly impacted the automotive segment, and the lighting actuators market was also affected by it; the disruption in the supply chain and decreased demand for vehicles was the critical point. Many countries worldwide implemented strict sanctions and lockdowns on the movement of components and goods, disrupting the market logistics. People staying at home and less passenger usage led to a decrease in demand for the sales service of these actuators.

Post COVID-19 changes in government regulations and implementation of stimulus packages for automotive industries helped boost the production of electric and hybrid vehicles. This has increased demand for automotive lighting actuators compatible with every type of vehicle. The need for automotive vehicle light actuators will continue to grow as the vehicle market bounce back, and consumers prioritize safety features in their cars. Currently, actuators used in the vehicle are motorized actuators, but as the market grows and new technological advancements are introduced, an increase in electric actuators will take place and drive future growth for electronic actuator manufacturers.
