Automotive lighting heating LED is expected to form a billion market demand

With the advancement of urbanization and the promotion of efficient environmental lighting, LED industry has been developed rapidly in recent years. Global LED applications in the field of general lighting and automotive lighting market is the fastest growing market, to promote the rapid growth of the LED market in the future an important driving factor.

In the field of LED automotive lighting, LED lights are the main products in the field. LED lamp is the use of LED (light emitting diode) as the light source. Because LED has the characteristics of high brightness, rich color, low power consumption, long life, LED is widely used in the automotive field. In the car, daytime driving lights also, energy consumption of LED element is only 1/20 halogen lamp, and the service life of up to 5 to 10 years, in addition, the LED element has the advantages of small volume, convenient arrangement and design a huge advantage to the car manufacturers in the car appearance design with a broad space in the past, breaking the shackles of creative lighting system, to meet the needs of the automotive appearance, for domestic LED light industry also brought opportunities.

According to reports, in a car lighting Seminar on cutting-edge technology, automotive lighting industry study for more than 100 years China Hella Group Market Department of automotive lighting market has made a bold prediction: "in 2014, there are 245000 sets of LED headlights of the domestic market, which, by 2016 the number will reach 907500 sets, realize turning three times more growth. With the LED function of the car taillight application is more extensive. Hella forecast from 2013-2019, LED headlamps market share will be increased from 1% to 10%. In addition, according to the Ministry of planning, as of the end of 2015, automotive lighting needs to achieve carbon dioxide emission reduction targets. LED is recognized as a typical representative, low carbon environmental protection, nature will be included in the scope of the upgrading of automotive lighting, automotive lighting fields become the darling, so as to form a ten billion, or even hundreds of billions of market demand, market prospects can be expected LED automotive lighting.

With the rapid development of LED automotive lighting market, the relevant rare metals indium and gallium will also benefit from. LED is the core material of gallium (Ga) and arsenic (AS), phosphorus (P), indium compounds made of semiconductor chip light-emitting materials. At present, gallium nitride (GaN) based on wide band gap semiconductor (LED) and indium gallium nitride (InGaN) is one of the most commercially available materials. The rapid development of global LED automotive lighting market, will further promote the rapid growth of gallium and indium demand. In addition, the rapid growth of gallium and indium demand, will also lead to more and more companies and individuals concerned about rare metals such as indium and gallium.
