PROJECTOR HEADLAMP MARKET IN CHINA

 

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.

 

PROJECTOR HEADLAMP MARKET IN CHINA SIZE AND FORECAST

The penetration rate of LED projector headlamp modules in the Chinese headlamp market is on the rise due to declining prices and improvement in their efficiency. The market presence of LED projector headlamps has increased following increase in fitment from exclusively available on the premium vehicles to optionally available in the mid-range vehicles. Due to complexity involved in designing high-power LED product segments, (high / low beam and fog light) and regulations regarding their compliance, they are mostly sourced from international manufacturers.

PROJECTOR HEADLAMP MARKET IN CHINA DYNAMICS

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.

 

PROJECTOR HEADLAMP MARKET IN CHINA COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

The projector headlamp market in China is extremely concentrated. The global automotive lighting companies rely on their technical capability and established relation with the OEMs to secure new orders. Whereas, the local Chinese automotive lighting suppliers have positioned themselves in the low to mid segment of passenger vehicles and aftermarket business.Over the past few years some Chinese suppliers have shown aggressive intent in acquiring clients on the back of low pricing. On the other hand, the Japanese automotive lighting suppliers like Koito, Stanley Electric and European lighting manufacturers including Hella and Valeo have monopolized the automotive lighting in mid to high end segment.
