According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Automotive Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) market size was valued at US$ 5094 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 20205 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 22.0% during review period.
Automotive Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) is a camera-based forward lighting function defined in UN Regulation No.149 and SAE J3069 as a dynamically adaptive high-beam system. It uses segmented or pixelated light sources (matrix LED, pixel/Micro-LED,) together with an ECU and dedicated driver ICs to modulate the high-beam distribution in real time. Individual segments or pixels are dimmed or switched off in the direction of oncoming or preceding vehicles while the surrounding area remains illuminated, thereby maintaining maximum viewing distance without causing glare. Modern ADB systems can also generate driver-assistance projections (e.g., lane guidance, warnings) on the road within the limits of lighting regulations, and are regarded as a key building block of intelligent headlamp systems.
In the ADB value chain, upstream suppliers provide light sources and electronics: matrix/pixel LEDs, Micro-LED arrays and laser modules from ams OSRAM, Nichia, Lumileds and others, as well as CMOS cameras, image-processing SoCs/MCUs and dedicated ADB driver ICs.Downstream demand is driven mainly by premium passenger cars, high-end EVs and SUVs/pickups.
In 2025, global automotive adaptive driving beam production reached approximately 10 million units, with an average global market price is around 500 per unit.
Automotive Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) is an advanced headlighting technology that replaces the traditional "either high beam or low beam"logic with a continuously adaptable driving beam. In formal terms (SAE J3069 and UN regulations), ADB is a long-range forward visibility beam that adapts its beam pattern to the presence of oncoming and preceding vehicles in order to improve visibility without causing discomfort or glare to other road users. Instead of simply switching from high to low beam, the system uses a camera to detect other vehicles’ head- and tail-lamps, then automatically dims or blocks only the parts of the beam that would hit them, while keeping high-beam level illumination on the rest of the road.
Technically, ADB is implemented with a combination of sensors, software and special headlamp hardware. A forward-facing camera feeds object and light-source information to a lighting ECU, which runs beam-forming algorithms and controls either a mechanical shading device or, more commonly today, an array of individually controllable LEDs (matrix LED). When another vehicle is detected, the ECU creates a "shadow" or dark zone in the driving beam over that vehicle, keeping light in unoccupied areas at or near upper-beam intensity. High-definition ADB implementations push this further by using thousands of LEDs or high-resolution arrays to sculpt the beam very precisely, improving pedestrian visibility and reducing reflections from signs while still protecting cameras and other road users from glare.
From a regulatory and market standpoint, ADB was first homologated in the UNECE framework (e.g., UN R123 and later UN R149), and more recently has been allowed in the U.S. via the 2022 amendment to FMVSS 108. As an industry concept, ADB sits on top of adaptive front-lighting (AFS): AFS mainly steers and reshapes low beam according to speed and steering angle, while ADB specifically manages the driving beam photometry in the presence of other traffic. In my view, ADB is now the reference architecture for "glare-free high beam" and will remain the core functional target for matrix/HD headlamp systems—linking lighting more tightly with ADAS, and forming a bridge between conventional LED/matrix headlights and the fully digital, projector-style systems (DLP, micro-LED) being rolled out on flagship vehicles.
