Automotive electronics industry to benefit from the six most favorable opportunities

Automotive electronics is regarded as the 4C drive electronics industry opportunities, with which this industry fluctuation benefit? According to the Taiwan automotive electronics business opportunities to promote the Office (TCPO) message pointed out that small and medium-sized version, LED, automotive chips, sensors, automotive computers, GPS, etc. will have the most opportunity.

1 panel amount increase

Now on the car audio system used in the small LCD panel 7 inch below, with the panel prices continue to fall, and with the car computer became more powerful, the future in addition to the rise of car navigation system and driving control display system, including multifunctional information display, rear seat entertainment system, panel the number of the car will continue to increase, the stimulation of the market demand for different days. Vehicle panel there is another trend, is the first part of the backlight module adopted LED light source, in addition to volume considerations, but also because LED has the advantages of energy saving, shock resistance, long service life.

2 LED per car to 300

Light-emitting diode (LED) used in the car, at present still with third brake light, car lighting, instrument panel lights, but because LED has low power consumption, long service life, environmental protection, small volume design etc., with the brightness and luminous efficiency improvement, car dealers have been gradually the in the interior design. To observe the evolution of the past few years, including rear lamp, lamp, mirror lamp plate side, have already begun using LED, although at present due to the brightness of the LED still can not be used as the headlights, but if the annual sales of about 61 million 700 thousand units per vehicle and calculation about the use of 300 teeth (200 teeth, car body car 100) LED, every year about 18 billion 510 million LED, a 4 billion 600 million year beyond the mobile phone (780 million x 1 billion 400 million star or 6 star) notebook computer (58 million 400 thousand * 42).

3 chip driven semiconductor industry

The use of semiconductor car, in addition to the computer and the electronic equipment used in the car, the car is also one of the key chip recent car factory development. This is because the car can be built within the parking card, pay the cost of convenience and other design, but also to the relevant industries, including: semiconductor, chip design, software development and other vendors, not optimistic about its growth. The FETC, Guorui and Yulon car factory, have been involved in the whole application system service industry alliance organized by the centre of the vehicle, to jointly develop automotive chip. Yulon planned car chip card, the main hope is to distinguish the car card, aimed at the automotive maintenance customer service market pie. Wu Xinfa, general manager of the Japanese car, pointed out that within 3 years, the rate of return to repair the new car factory in more than 90%. Through the chip input vehicle maintenance records and even crash, maintenance personnel will be able to better understand the condition.

4 sensor industry growth

Is different from the general use of the environment, many of the needs of every kind of sensors on the car, to provide all kinds of information, let the car computer or the driver can know the current condition of the environment. Among them, the sensor can be divided into the following categories: engine driving, exhaust control, safety devices, sensors, sensors and so on. When the automobile electronic technology is more developed, the number and type of sensors are needed. According to the survey, North American automotive sensor OEM market, an annual growth rate of about 7.9%, climbed to about $4 billion 600 million in 2007.

5 vehicle computer function promotion

In 80s, electronic equipment accounted for only about the car cost 2~3%, but with the car is equipped with computer ratio increased gradually, plus GPS, navigation system and so on, forecast to 2010, automotive electronics will account for 40% of the value of the vehicle. Looking to the future, the responsibility of the computer by the computer, not only to control the throttle, brakes and other traffic may occur when the situation, the function will rise again. It will be more than a car computer room video, information center, and even in response to different functional requirements, the 1 cars equipped with computers, may be more than one. The trend of this car is a great opportunity for manufacturers in Taiwan.

6 GPS growth space is still large

Some more than 800 million cars a year, continued to increase, however, which has been installed GPS cars accounted for only 1% of the total sales of up and down; even if the new car factory is equipped with a GPS ratio also less than 10%, which shows the GPS future growth space is still quite large. For Taiwan manufacturers, with the proportion of newly built GPS increased gradually, is bound to create another wave of demand growth momentum. However, the general lack of Taiwan manufacturers of key components of self-control, such as: computing chips and navigation software research and development capabilities, will make the price competitiveness of Taiwan manufacturers in consumer products are threatened.
