Market Trends of north america automotive led lighting Industry
The LED market is driven by investments by EVs and battery producers to increase automotive production
- The total automobile vehicle production in North America was 14.54 million units in 2022, and it is expected to reach 15.06 million units in 2023. One of the biggest manufacturing sectors in North America is the automotive sector. However, the COVID-19 pandemic caused two significant shocks to the region's automobile industry, which had a significant negative impact on production, sales, and foreign trade in 2020 and 2021. Thus, the disruption in the supply chain and production of automotive vehicles negatively affected the LED lighting business in the region.
- March saw an almost 31% year-over-year fall in the US light car production. Only one plant was operating for one week at the end of April, so there needed to be a higher level of light vehicle production. The auto industry also voiced concerns regarding its supply networks. ZF, a German supplier, has facilities in the United States and revealed plans to reduce its global employment by 10% by the end of May 2020. Several worldwide supply chain disruptions impacted manufacturing in the United States: Mercedes-Benz resumed its Vance, Alabama, facility on April 27; however, due to a scarcity of parts, production had to be briefly halted on May 15. This disruption created a downfall in semiconductors used in the automotive industry.
- Further, the demand for EVs is rapidly increasing in North America due to government initiatives. The Inflation Reduction Act was passed in August 2022, and between that time and March 2023, major EV and battery producers announced investments in North American EV supply chains worth at least USD 52 billion. Such initiatives in the interest of consumers and manufacturers will boost the LED lighting business in the region.

Government investments to drive the sales of electric vehicle and propel the growth of LED lighting
- Most of the EV sales in the North American region come from the US, Canada, and Mexico. In 2022, US BEV sales increased by 65% compared to 2021, and Tesla continues to dominate the EV market. In 2022, Mexico sales were only 0.5% of 1,090,000 total vehicle sales were fully electric, a percentage that falls well below other markets, such as China, Europe, and the United States. In Canada, during Q4 2022, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) alone had 27,754 new registrations, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) had 5,645 new registrations.
- To expand further, the US government issued a trillion-dollar infrastructure bill in 2021 that allocates USD 7.5 billion toward building 500,000 more public EV chargers by 2030 and also made investments in EV manufacturing by providing tax benefits of USD 7,500 for purchasing an EV assembled in the US. Also, Tesla, one of the significant players in EVs, committed to delivering around 3,500 of its US Supercharger stations and 4,000 Level 2 charging docks available to all brands of electric vehicles by the end of 2024.
- GM Canada invested more than USD 2 billion in Canada to transform manufacturing facilities in Ingersoll and Oshawa and expects electric vehicle production by the end of 2022. By 2030, Georgia, Kentucky, and Michigan are expected to dominate electric vehicle battery manufacturing in the United States. This EV battery manufacturing capacity will facilitate the production of 10 to 13 million batteries for all-electric vehicles per year, positioning the United States as a global EV competitor. Thus, the above instances lead to the development and production of new power stations because of the growing demand for EVs, which boosts the demand for automotive LEDs in the region.
