Various secondary sources, directories, and databases have been used to identify and collect information for an extensive study of the Automotive Lighting Market. The study involved four main activities in estimating the current size of the Automotive Lighting Market: secondary research, validation through primary research, assumptions, and market analysis. Exhaustive secondary research was carried out to collect information on the market, such as the existing vehicle models & their light technologies, upcoming technologies, and trends. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and market analysis with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. The top-down approach was employed to estimate the complete market size for different segments considered in this study.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources have been used to identify and collect information useful for an extensive commercial study of the Automotive Lighting Market. Secondary sources include company annual reports/presentations, press releases, and industry association publications such as publications of the American Lighting Association (ALA), Canadian Automobile Association (CAA), China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), and European Automobile Manufacturers Association (EAMA) among others. Additionally, secondary research has been carried out to understand the average count of various lights by vehicle type, historical production, and sales of new vehicles.
Primary Research
In the primary research process, various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information on the market. The primary sources from the supply side included industry experts such as CXOs, vice presidents, directors from business development, marketing, product development/innovation teams, and related key executives from various key companies. Various system integrators, industry associations, independent consultants/industry veterans, and key opinion leaders were also interviewed.
Primary interviews have been conducted to gather insights such as ICE vehicle production and electric vehicle sales forecast, Automotive Lighting Market forecast and penetration rate, future technology trends, and upcoming technologies in the Automotive Lighting industry. Data triangulation was then done with the information gathered from secondary research. Stakeholders from the demand and supply side have been interviewed to understand their views on the points mentioned above.
Primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from Automotive Lighting manufacturers and technology providers across four major regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. A similar percentage of primary interviews have been conducted with automotive lighting manufacturers, respectively. The data from primary interviews has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, we have strived to cover various departments within organizations, such as sales, manufacturing, and operations, to provide a holistic viewpoint in our report.
After interacting with industry experts, we have also conducted brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This and the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions have led us to the conclusions described in the remainder of this report.

Market Definition
Automotive Lighting: An automotive lighting system consists of various lights and signaling devices that are fitted on the front, rear, side, and interior of the vehicle. These lights perform the primary function of providing illumination to the driver to drive safely in the dark. They may be used to enhance the visibility of an automobile, illuminate the interior, and act as a warning system for other vehicles. Automotive lighting ensures the vehicle's on-road safety and the pedestrian's by alerting the pedestrian about the vehicle's presence through exterior lighting.

I am looking for a reliable source of clear and conclusive quantitative data. Your report above seems to contain what I need, but also many other items of information that I certainly do not need. Main topics of interest:- Car Interior Lighting Market size and growth - Car Interior technologies and their relative importance over time - Main players (designers and makers of car interior lighting solutions in terms of market share). Supply chain of car interior lighting (for the most common applications/functions). I was wondering if you could offer a customised report with this information and if so, under what conditions. Please contact my by email, phone is not preferred due to frequent traveling and meetings. Thank you in advance!.
