Market Trends of asia pacific automotive led lighting Industry
Increasing EV incentives to sell more electric vehicles to drive the growth of the LED market
- The total automobile vehicle production in Asia-Pacific was 104.29 million units in 2022, and it was expected to reach 109.65 million units in 2023. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant effect on the Asia-Pacific automotive market. For instance, compared to March 2019, automotive and commercial vehicle sales in New Zealand were down by 37%. On March 23, 2020, automakers like Honda and Indus Motor stopped producing in Pakistan. The remainder of the Asia-Pacific nations experienced a similar situation. As a result, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the overall demand for LEDs in the automobile industry decreased.
- TATA Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, SAIC Motor, Geely, Great Wall Motor, Chery, Toyota, and others are major automotive manufacturers in the region. All these companies are increasing their focus on the production of EVs. In Asia-Pacific, automotive innovations are growing rapidly, with China alone expected to account for around 65% of global EV sales in 2022. Due to their efficiency, LEDs are projected to be used more in EVs. For example, when LEDs are fitted on an EV, the decrease in battery current consumption can enhance range by as much as six miles on a single charge.
- Electric vehicles (EVs), automobiles with electric motors instead of internal combustion engines, are compatible with LED car lighting. Due to advantages for the environment, lower running costs, and technological advancements, EVs are growing in the region. Since LED car lights can last up to 10,000 hours, they can reduce environmental impact. The demand for and growth of LEDs will increase in the anticipated term due to the numerous advantages of LED lights in the automobile industry.

Rapid growth of battery swapping stations, increasing battery recycling service outlets, and providing subsidies for EVs are driving the LED market
- China, the region's largest automobile market, is also the region's largest market for high-performance EVs, followed by Japan. The Asia-Pacific region's emission regulations and subsidies for hybrid and electric vehicles aided it in capturing a sizable share of the overall electric and hybrid vehicle market. China had around 1.6 million EV charging stations and 5.21 million charging points at the end of 2022, including over 2.59 million that were built in 2022. China has been promoting its EV industry for more than a decade with generous incentives to consumers and subsidies to automakers. For instance, buyers received discounts of around CNY 60,000 at one point for purchasing EVs, but those ended in 2022.
- As of 2022, there were 28,546 charging stations in Japan. The number of imported electric vehicles sold in Japan during FY 2022 rose 65% from a year earlier to a record 16,464 units. There were 3.61 million passenger cars newly sold in Japan, and about 77,000 were EVs during FY 2022. By March 2023, there were 6586 public charging stations (PCS) operational in India. Furthermore, the government is promoting the installation of EV charging stations by providing capital subsidies, including FAME-II, PLI SCHEME, Battery Switching Policy, and Tax Reduction on EVs. In April 2019, the FAME II plan was introduced with an INR 10,000 crore (USD 1.2 billion) budget to support 500,000 e-three-wheelers, 7,000 e-buses, 55,000 e-passenger vehicles, and a million e-two-wheelers. The purpose was to encourage electric vehicle adoption in India. The plan was supposed to end in 2022. Thus, the above instances lead to the development and production of new power stations due to the growing demand for EVs across developing nations, which boosts the demand for automotive LEDs.
