The Worldwide Market for LEDs in Automotive Applications - 2008 Edition

SUMMARY

Revenues from LEDs used in light vehicles will almost double from 2006 to 2014 to $1.2 billion. This key finding comes from this detailed report, which includes:

• Forecasts of revenues and unit shipments; split by exterior application, interior function and location, product type, LED colour and geographical region.
• Analysis of each important exterior application: including headlamps, daytime running lights, centrally high mounted stop lights, rear lights and turning lights.
• Detailed analysis of technical trends and competitive environment.
• Detailed information on the supplier chain including short profiles of the leading LED, lamp and vehicle manufacturers.
• Market shares for leading suppliers of LEDs to the automotive industry, for the total market, and for interior and exterior applications.

The strong, steady growth of LEDs in the automotive sector will continue, driven mainly by the increasing use of LEDs in various exterior applications that were previously dominated by incandescent bulbs.

This highly detailed quantitative analysis was based on over 20 detailed telephone and face-to-face interviews, and information from trade shows and conferences, press releases, observations of vehicles in different countries and other sources.

• Market estimates for 2006 and 2007 and year forecasts to 2014.
• Tables and accompanying figures show the market size for each application and product type.
• Advantages and disadvantages of LEDs compared with incandescent, xenon and other competing technologies.
• Many specific examples given of the supply chain of LED manufacturers, lighting system suppliers and vehicle manufacturers with discussions of product choices made.
• Market shares for leading LED manufacturers.
