Global and China Automotive Lighting Industry Research Report, 2013-2014

The Global Automotive Lighting Market size hits approximately USD26 billion (including USD21.2 billion generated by OEM) in 2014, representing an increase of 8.8% over 2013. The growth of the OEM market is mainly driven by two factors:

The second category is expected to occupy about 13% share and the third category 14% in 2016.
