To Propose What Is Needed: Lighting Market Intelligence

Kamislav Fadel and Pascal Popis’ shared sense of purpose, combined with industry stakeholders’ basic need for complete, reliable, and up-to-date vehicle lighting market intelligence, drove them in 2020 to embark on a journey to revolutionise the state of vehicle lighting market intelligence.

The pair have met their ambitious and unprecedented goals after almost two years’ foundational work to build an intelligence capability and analytic application to cover the needs across the spectrum of industry stakeholders: automakers; tier-1 and -2 lighting suppliers; consultants; analysts who require in-depth understanding on the subject, and investors, including private equity.

Next month, LMI will launch their suite of market intelligence, solutions and services, which they say will include best-in-class automotive intelligence and analytics; benchmarking; consulting, and syndicated, subscription-based reports and bespoke solutions.

LMI’s values reflect their co-founders’ personal values and they govern every aspect of the LMI processes, from data collection to analytic applications. These principles are exemplified by LMI’s comprehensive data gathering and validation processes which ensure their clients are getting the most current, complete, and reliable data.

LMI’s intent is to provide unprecedented data coverage and updates; their data scope covers 65 million out of 80 million existing car models—that’s 80 per cent, including all relevant car models, ranging from major manufacturers’ models in production from as far back as 2017 all the way out to 2027. It’s updated quarterly, covering all car model changes from facelifts to new-to-the-world models (approximately 30 per cent annually).

There’s full coverage of the whole vehicle lighting ecosystem and all products: comprehensive tier-1 market share data and technology trends; automaker share of portfolio and light source technology shares by functionality. There’s analysis and trend projection, enriched by expert interviews and industry knowledge. Moreover, there’s detailed systems and components itemisation: lighting projector technical analysis breaking down to the BOM level; detailed assembly processes scoping for approximately 60 to 80 projectors per year covering most relevant car models, and bespoke studies to support specific analyses, investment decisions and RFQ processes, including pricing; intelligence, and competitive data.

“LMI uses multiple data sources combined with rigorous internal and external validation processes—audited by DVN—and triangulated with key Industry players ensuring decisions are always based on the highest quality intelligence.”
