Laser headlights are the automotive components used for lighting the road surface to increase safety, and also to avoid risk of accidents. Laser headlights are an innovative technology used in the automobiles, where laser beams not actually shot on the road instead lasers fires beams on the mirrors incorporated into the headlight system, and later the mirror focuses the beams into a yellow phosphorous filled lens which eventually emits high intensity white light. The laser headlight concept was initially used by BMW and Audi in the year 2014. The laser headlights were initially used only in premium cars in Europe only. BMW used laser headlights for its model i8 priced $136,000 which uses three blue laser diodes per headlight. In addition to this, Audi used a laser headlight concept in its model R8 LMX, 2014 prices $289,000 which incorporated four blue laser diodes for a single headlight, along with the combination of LEDs. The use of headlights in the above models had increased their prices to $8,000 to $12,000 for a single car. Furthermore, Audi A7 later started inculcating laser headlights from the year 2017. According to BMW estimates, laser lights have an illuminating power of 1000 times more than LED, which makes it a wow factor of bulb technologies present till date. Additionally, these use less energy to operate and are much smaller than the conventional lighting systems.

On the basis of vehicle, the global automobile laser headlights market was segmented into passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles. The passenger vehicle includes small cars, compact cars, mid-sized cars, luxury cars, SUVs, and crossovers. On the basis of the sales channel, the automotive laser headlight market was segmented into OEM and aftermarket.

On the flip side, the laser headlights are not efficient in the regions, which have adverse environmental conditions including continuous rainfall, fog, and snowfall. Additionally, the high cost associated with the laser headlights increases the price of the vehicle after is also an important factor anticipated to hamper the growth over the forecast period. Whereas, the technological advancements associated with the components used in the automotive sector are likely to create potential opportunities during the forecast period.
