Favored by the world's top car LED headlights
According to market research firm IMS Research 's report , Osram LED optical semiconductor market is the world's largest automotive supplier , in 2007 the share of about 23% share in the LED light vehicle market , Lumileds and Nichia place, followed by 16% share of both about .
Felder noted that the current global vehicle sales of LED application about 500 million to 600 million euros , in the car interior , such as car dashboards, car radios, switch has been using 100% LED, and this trend is moving from car applications to accelerate the penetration of outside applications. "LED is taillights , headlights and even market quickly engulfed the original general lighting market, such as Europe began to spread with daytime driving light (DRL)."
Currently Xenon headlights of the car is still in widespread use , but its power consumption, and takes up a lot of space , so some of the top car manufacturers are turning to the use of LED, such as Toyota , Audi and GM , respectively, on their part on the application of high-end cars OSRAM LED headlight module , where Toyota is clear that across the board in 2015 to phase out incandescent bulbs.
Lumileds and Nichia undoubtedly OSRAM optical semiconductor biggest competitors , such as the Audi also uses Lumileds products ; Meanwhile, as the consumer electronics market, low profits, while growth in the automotive electronics market is very stable , many suppliers such as Taiwan LED million optoelectronics , also began to enter the market . The face of competition , Felder seems confident : "We are not worried about the presence of competitors , because the car market is enormous , a supplier can not swallow whole , such as Audi uses Lumileds products, but we also have to penetrate into Lumileds Cadillac dominated the site . , and OSRAM broad product line than others , and we have always maintained a technology leader , it has been in a favorable competitive position .
