Research and Markets: 10% Steering Lamps Were Made Of LED in 2008 and This Proportion Will Reach 50% in 2015 Says 'Global and China Automotive LED Lig
Friday July 3, 06:30 AM
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/0c6ee5/global_and_china_a)
has announced the addition of the "Global
and China Automotive LED Lighting Industry Report, 2008-2009" report
to their offering.
Supposing the LED industry keeps developing at the current speed, the
LED will be in line with the traditional light source level in 2014. The
cost of the light source only takes up very small proportion of
automotive headlight. If the automotive LED headlamp has the same
illuminating effect as the headlamp made of the traditional light
source, their cost gap won't be more than 10%. Currently the LED
headlamp cost is 30% higher and even two times of the HID headlamp, and
the mainstream cars are against such a big cost difference.
Besides increasing the LED luminous efficiency and lowering the average
illumination cost, it is also very necessary to solve the heat
dissipation problem. The optical fibre-distributed lighting might be the
best choice. If the technique of such lighting pattern achieves its
maturity, the LED headlamp can be equipped into the low-temperature
trunk instead of the vicinity of the high-temperature engine. Only an
LED module is needed in the trunk, and then the optical fiber can
transmit the light to every reachable area, which perfectly simplifies
the design and minimizes the volume of the auto lamp. Though the current
commonly-used heat pipe and fan can also dissipate the heat, they are
with the high cost and complicated design.
From 2008 to 2013, the auto headlight manufacturing will remain in slow
development. It is forecast that it will see the fast improvement in
2014. 50% high-mount brake lamps were made of LED in 2008 and this
proportion will reach 100% in the future; 10% steering lamps were made
of LED in 2008 and this proportion will reach 50% in 2015; only 10%
width lamps were made of LED and this proportion will reach 30% in the
future. In spite of huge market room, the price competition is quite
intense and the price would fall by a big margin, hereby the market
growing ability is not strong enough.
The global automobile industry has very clear group division. The German
group and the Japanese group have built the vertical supplying system
for years and the companies from other countries hardly have
opportunities to participate in this system. The American automakers
keep not so close a relationship with the suppliers, so other automakers
still have certain chances. The Japanese auto market is monopolized by
the three lighting companies, namely, Koito, Ichikoh and Stanley. Nissan
has long-term partnership with Renault, so it also purchases the lamps
from Valeo. In addition, the American automakers have numerous suppliers
like Delphi, Visteon, HELLA and Stanley etc. The German automakers'
suppliers consist mainly of HELLA and AL. The French automakers
undoubtedly choose their local company Valeo as the supplier. Similarly,
Italy chooses AL, which is affiliated to the Italian FIAT Corporation.
The South Korean suppliers contain Mobis and Sunlush.
