Safety concerns have propelled the automakers to look for a safer alternative.

The rise in the sales of vehicles, in particular passenger cars, can be attributed to the steady increase in the disposable incomes of consumers, especially during the post-recession era. As a result, cost- and fuel-efficiency are no longer the primary criteria for the purchase of these cars; instead, the purchases more depend on the comfort and luxury provided with them. Moreover, consumers are increasingly evaluating lighting systems and car ergonomics while making the selections. Therefore increasing demand for luxury cars is expected to support the growth of automotive lighting market.
