Automatic High Beam Control Market Trends

Automatic High Beam Control Market Synopsis:

The Automatic High Beam Control Market Size was valued at USD 10.1 Billion in 2022. The Global Automatic High Beam Control industry is projected to reach USD 17.6 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.14% during the forecast period (2023 - 2032). High beams are significantly lighter and are utilized to illuminate the vehicle's advancing path when other vehicles are not present. Daylight consecutively lights have also begun to involve widespread acceptance. A high beam is utilized to illuminate a road that doesn't have much traffic. In that way, the driver can see further ahead for any road barriers. The automatic high-beam control system reduces the lights according to the information delivered by onboard sensors.

The automatic high-beam control system is used in vehicles to reduce the glare of the approaching vehicle's headlights. The vehicles are incorporated with systems that detects the glare of the headlights of an oncoming vehicle and switches from high beam to low beam. Increasing demand for cars with automatic headlights followed by the rise of other factors like the rising number of road accidents, issues over passenger and driver security, increasing sale of luxury cars, stringent guidelines related to driving and lighting of a vehicle, and the rising trend of long driving, especially during the night time are some reliable market factors.

The major key driving factors for the growth of this market are the growing demand for cars with automatic headlights, increasing number of road accidents, concern over passenger and driver’s safety, increasing sale of luxury cars, stringent regulations regarding driving and lighting of a vehicle, and rising trend of long driving especially during night. Lack of skilled operator, high cost of LED lights, and low compact of advanced lighting system in entry level SUV’s are some of the factors that are hindering the market growth. However, the rise in demand for automatic high beam controller for vehicles, growing per capita disposable income in countries such as China and India, growing demand for eco-friendly vehicles, increasing preference for luxury vehicles market with premium features, and developing economies from emerging countries, such as India, Brazil, and Argentina, are providing growth opportunity. Additionally, the technology advancements in automotive HBS systems such as the concept of smart HBS, adaptive headlights (LED), and deployment of artificial intelligence method with image processing algorithm in multipurpose camera for comprehensive scene interpretation and reliable object detection are also provide growth opportunity.

Recent Developments

• Increasing technological advancements to enhance vehicle occupant safety and provide automated control of vehicle headlamps, followed by a decline in the cost of the automatic high-beam control system, are likely to boost the adoption of this system in other car classes. It is projected to offer considerable opportunity for the manufacturers of automatic high-beam control systems.


• The majority of providers of advanced automotive technology products are based in Europe; hence, the region witnesses intense competition among automakers and aftermarket players. Moreover, companies spend most of their revenue on research and development activities to enhance vehicle comfort and safety features to cater to consumer requirements. Furthermore, most countries in Europe are home to several technology research and development institutes that receive investments from automakers to develop newer technologies to improve vehicle safety. These factors propel the penetration of the vehicle automatic high beam control system market in Europe, followed by further enhanced and low-cost automatic high-beam control products.

Segmentation: Automatic High Beam Control Market

The global automatic high beam control market is segmented on the basis of vehicle type, propulsion, sales channel, and region. By vehicle type, the market is segmented into passenger car and commercial vehicle. By propulsion, the global market has been segmented into internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicle. By sales channel, the global market has been segmented into OEM and aftermarket.

The high beam control (HBC) system includes a reflector, a light source containing two or more light emitting bodies, and forward-sensing camera (FSC). The camera detects various forms of lights such as headlights, taillights, and ambient light from the surrounding area and turn light focus brighter or dimmer automatically, making it easier for the driver to recognize hazards. The HBS detects oncoming and preceding vehicles and provides a broader field of vision to the driver to see further into the distance and recognize hazards earlier to avoid accidents. The HBS does not operate properly under certain conditions like driving on curves such as corners or mountain roads, streetlamps, reflective signs, roadside markers, and bad weather.

Intended Audience

• Automotive HBC manufacturers


• Automotive high beam control distributors


• Raw material suppliers


• Government and industry associations


• State or government owned corporations


• Research organizations
