LED Rio Tinto new business opportunities for infrared applications

LED market price competition, pile up in excess of requirement, the LED factory also actively explore new market, and strive for greater profit space, especially the recent anti-terrorism demand driven security monitoring and iris, face recognition of market demand, the development potential of the infrared LED market, thus including EPISTAR and lextar are also actively into the proportion of total revenue is not high at present. However, with the use of extensive, future revenue accounting will rise further.

UV has become a new blue ocean

LEDinside Research Assistant Manager Wu Yingjie said that due to the advantages of high price high margin to UV LED market has become the new blue ocean 2016-2018 emerging manufacturers, manufacturers will continue to join, but only manages the wafer and wrapper will still face the pressure of price competition, how to provide a complete solution, it is able to maintain competitiveness, the key to sustained profitability.

Thanks to the UV-ALED curing market demand and UV-CLED technologies, LEDinside ultraviolet LED (UVLED) estimated that in 2016 the market value of $140 million, to $356 million in 2020; with the rise of security monitoring, iris, face recognition market demand, infrared LED market prospects may be the same.

Rising security monitoring applications

The LEDinside estimates in 2016 (excluding LED infrared optical sensor market) market value of $278 million, in 2020 amounted to $525 million, including about $174 million in security surveillance applications; Wu Yingjie pointed out that the continued into the optical sensor with the wearable device, and mobile phone brand factory demand, in 2016 the market demand is also quite optical sensing considerable.

Because the LED market price in the pile up in excess of requirement pressure, under the pressure of competition, also to use new Lunda market development, to meet the market demand, Lunda chairman Su Fengzheng pointed out that currently includes vehicle, visible light and lighting application module are lextar the direction of the layout, the second half of last year started shipping; in the vehicle, Ronda visible, UVLED revenue is lower than 5%, estimated that by 2019 will rise to 10-20%.
