Ambient lighting: more than just decorating vehicle interior

Apart from creating more dynamic and colorful vehicle interior, ambient lighting is helping automakers to deliver enhanced safety, as well as driving and commuting comfort for driver and other passengers.

Ambient lighting has rapidly emerged as a key tool for automotive designers to transform vehicle interior. Demand for the innovative interior lighting solution has grown rapidly over the past five years, consistently setting new fitment records annually. According to the forecast by S&P Global Mobility analysts, automakers installed 318.4 million ambient light components in more than 89 million vehicles produced in 2024. Ambient light fitment is forecast to continue to grow over the next six years, reaching 418.5 million components in 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. This is significantly higher than a 1.4% CAGR in light vehicle production during the period leading to nearly 97 million vehicles in 2030.
