LED car lights fall into chaos during the Warring States Period

According to China's Taiwan Region Research Institute IEK estimation, LED lamp market will grow from $690 million in 2007 to $1 billion 200 million in 2011. From the market penetration rate of 8%, the annual growth rate of up to 13%, and Asia will be the largest growth areas. Because of promising prospects, many LED manufacturers have flocked to this potential market, LED market has entered the Warring States period.

In the use of LED, the current global maximum vehicle brake lights. As for headlights, LED lamp is not a competitor of HD, is expected to 2011 penetration of only about 3%. The development of the automobile market has entered a mature stage, and the advanced light source system has become the key to the development of the lamp. 2007 global automotive market size of $13 billion 200 million, is expected to grow to $15 billion by 2011.

Taiwanese manufacturers said the current LED Weiwang lamp bulb, application, the main lock into the "light" mature on the technical level, such as lights, brake lights, and lights. The headlight is due to the high threshold of the light source system technology, product stability, lack of penetration rate can not be compared with other kinds of lights. Jiang Wei Wang lamp factory manager said, LED lamp has a low power consumption, adjustable light, high color, long service life, reliable etc.. At the same time, LED LAMP reaction time is short, small size, light weight and a point light source, not only can enhance the safety of driving, but also to create a car advantage. In the sense of security and design considerations, so that the application of LED lights wide. He said that due to the high prospective LED, the added value of many small bulbs have attracted many small factories have stepped into the market, even the electronics factory, hardware factory would like to grab a share of the market, such as Warring States warlords".

Jiang manager said, why many lighting manufacturers such as Philips and Osland has not yet officially entered the market, mainly due to manufacturers that the product maturity is not enough. Just as many small factories each production, research and development of their own LED bulbs, but let the specifications of the LED also entered the chaos state of the Warring states. Jiang manager reluctantly said with one hand, this is the Warring States market is not the result of a unified". LED market competition is fierce, whether Taiwan funded enterprises to consider the integration of resources, rather than "each engage in each"? Jiang said that three or four years ago, there have been a number of Taiwan funded lamp factory boss really thought about strategic alliances, CO production of each other's expertise in the light bulb project. But did not expect, affected by the impact of fluctuations in the economy and mismanagement, some manufacturers, each of the fall, the final integration of resources can only stay in the stage of talk.
