INTRODUCTION

The automotive lighting market in China is price-oriented.Halogen lights dominate the Chinese passenger vehicle scene but HIDs have gained prominence in domestic brand SUVs. HID is still the most preferred option in the performance lighting segment. The LED penetration rate in complete automotive lighting is high and at par with international level. China has seen rapid adoption of daytime running lamps (DRL) as it is closely linked with the signature styling of vehicles. The growth for LED DRLs in China comes at a time when domestic Chinese OEMs are striving for futuristic and compelling designs in order to fulfil their ambition of being successful in developed regions. As a result of this, the market penetration of DRL in China was 53% in 2017.

In order to keep pace with changing consumer tastes, the Chinese automakers have started updating their models in a much lesser time frame as compared to earlier. This is very much in line with global markets where the facelift/refresh of a car model is launched every 3 years and a new generation/upgrade is launched every 5-6 years. Every upgrade/facelift implies change in frontal lighting. There is a long list of lighting features, Chinese OEMs have started to offer as a standard fitment over the past 3-4 years. Those features include projector headlamps, centrally high-mounted stop lamps, daytime running lamps, ambient lighting and auto levelling headlamps. Features like ambient lighting and auto levelling lamps were earlier only available on luxury vehicles but they are about to become standard on mid to high segment vehicles.
