Signages are usually fitted to these vehicles to act as registries of knowing firmly their commercial purpose. OLEDs can be used for the creation of bright, attention-attracting signs that can draw attention to the observers. For firms that want to promote their products or services, it’s a great idea to spend on them. There is no longer the potential for OLED devices to go cheaper as the LED in the lighting sector advances, and prices drop.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"High- Cost of OLED Lights to Affect the Market"

The relatively high prices of OLED lights proved to create high barriers in the OLED Automotive Lighting Market globally as most mid-range and budget cars cannot afford them. However, OLED lights provide several benefits, including energy efficiency, flexibility of design, and improved aesthetic quality, yet their prices continue to remain relatively high because of the complicated methods of fabrication and expensive components used. This cost factor hinders integration across its range to products other than premium and luxury cars, and thereby negatively impacts overall market growth. There are two primary challenges that automakers have to address: the difficulties of integrating innovation with affordability and until OLED fabrications turn out to be cheaper; the use of OLEDs will remain limited in the automotive industry thereby limiting the growth of the OLED market.

OPPORTUNITY

"Integration with Smart and Connected Vehicle Systems Create Opportunity in the Market"
