now widely used in flashlights, landscape lighting and mining lamps. Among them, flashlights are the most widely used, accounting for 70% to 80% of the market share. However, due to the long lighting time and intermittent characteristics of flashlights, customers generally tend to choose low-priced products. (The generally acceptable light decay is 1000 hours. 20%~30%), and the price is between 12~18 yuan. The quality requirements for high-power LEDs in landscape lighting are relatively higher than those in flashlights. The highest requirements are in industrial and mining lamps. In addition , there are two main types of high-power products on the market (OSRAM-like and LUXEON-like). Among them, LUXEON has been developing flashlight products since the beginning of its promotion. Therefore, the high-power appearance used in related flashlight products on the market is Similar to LUXEON. However, the flashlight market is facing a problem that the high-power products that customers first used have basically been finalized. Now customers are interested in switching to low-priced products. However, they will encounter a series of problems with lenses due to problems with different manufacturers (including inconsistent appearance, poor installation, and differences in product emitting angles that cause the product to not focus light). If customers choose to re-open the mold, they will encounter the problem of mold opening fees (generally, mold opening fees range from 30,000 to 50,000 or even hundreds of thousands).
OSRAM related products are widely used in landscape lighting and other fields.
For the entire market, the use of high-power LEDs should be above 100K. The market distribution is mainly in Zhejiang and Guangdong. The products are not widely used in China, and are mainly exported. For flashlights, some manufacturers in Zhejiang can even achieve 50K/M. The emitting angle of Everlight products is now 120°, while the current products in the market range from 80° to 140°. It depends on the customer's choice before confirmation. A large part of the high-power LEDs sold in the market now come from Taiwan and other places. Eg: Taiwan Addison's products are similar in appearance to LUXEON. In addition, the LEDs currently in use generally need to be equipped with aluminum substrates (we need to find suppliers to purchase this). In terms of flashlights, since the customer previously used mainly LUXEON products, if the customer now needs to choose our products, there are several problems: 1. The color must be mainly warm white 2. The customer previously had molds for opening lenses, etc. Changing the manufacturer will cause problems such as inability to focus light. If the mold is changed, the cost involved will be very high (ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands) 3. The appearance of the products used by the customer before was different from Everlight's, causing problems for the customer during installation. 4. The most important point is that many domestic manufacturers have started to develop high-power products at very low prices (some even offer prices of 11 to 12 yuan excluding tax). Flashlight products only require good brightness, and do not pay special attention to product quality. As a result, flashlight manufacturers tend to use low-priced products. In the process of developing and promoting Everlight products, it is necessary to determine which market it is targeting, and then decide on pricing and product quality. Since the launch of the product, it has been committed to the development of flashlights, spotlights, mining lamps and other products. Therefore, most of the high-power products used in the market now have this appearance. The appearance of counterfeit products on the market is generally developed in this way. Forecast of global LED market trends in 2005
Eyesply Japan recently released a report on the analysis and forecast of the global LED market trends after 2003 and 2004. According to the statistics, Nichia Chemical had the highest market share in the LED field in the world in 2003.
The global LED market trends generally believe that LED will continue to expand in the application fields of traffic signals, automotive lighting, LCD backlight modules, etc., especially the demand for high-brightness LEDs is expected to grow significantly. It is estimated that the global LED market size will reach 6.8 billion US dollars in 2008.
The LED market continues to grow at a high double-digit rate .
According to the global LED market size statistics released by Eyesply Japan, in 2002, the global LED market grew by 19.6% over 2001, with a market size of 2.931 billion US dollars, and in 2003, it grew by 27.6% over 2002, with a market size of 3.741 billion US dollars, a growth rate of up to double digits.
In recent years, the practical application of new generation packaging technology and material processing technology has made breakthrough progress in high-brightness LEDs. At present, many manufacturers can supply high-brightness LEDs with brightness exceeding 100cd in large quantities.
As mentioned above, the breakthrough in LED technology has led to the creation of many commercial applications, such as traffic signals, automotive lighting, large LCD backlight modules, digital cameras, mobile phones, outdoor lighting, etc. It is generally believed that the global LED market size is expected to exceed 6.8 billion US dollars in 2008. As the LED market size expands, Taiwan, South Korea and China LED manufacturers, which use mass production as a backing and low-price strategy, are engaging in endless patent intellectual property lawsuits with international LED manufacturers centered on Japan and the United States. In order to ensure their dominant position, both parties have launched various international strategic alliances, corporate mergers, mutual authorization and other activities.
The high-brightness LED market has grown rapidly in the past two years, especially in 2003, when the demand for LCD backlight modules for mobile phones, digital cameras, and video games increased significantly, causing the high-brightness LED market to reach a historical peak. At the same time, mobile phone manufacturers began to review the number of LEDs used in LCD backlight modules. This development trend forced LED manufacturers to adopt a new module design and develop highly versatile high-brightness LEDs.
As for the general lighting market, it is still difficult to obtain the same illumination as incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps in terms of cost, so the penetration rate of LEDs in the lighting field is still very low. The price of LED is about two digits different from that of traditional light sources, which means that the improvement of luminous efficiency and low cost are still the goals that LED manufacturers need to work hard on.
Overall, LEDs are bound to gradually replace traditional light sources in the future, and it is expected that many related technologies will be innovated and other application markets will emerge. Since most of the newly joined LED manufacturers adopt a low-price strategy to attack the market, Japanese and American international manufacturers are forced to respond with product differentiation strategies and devote all their efforts to developing fully automated production technology and new material/packaging technology.
Development Trend of Automotive LEDs
In the past decade, high-brightness LEDs have been used in the fields of interior and exterior lights of cars, trucks, and tour buses. According to the survey results of Eyesply Japan, in 2003, about 30% of new cars used LEDs as rear tail lamps or CMHSLs (Center High-Mount Stop Lamps). Most new trucks and tour buses used LEDs as turn signals or rear identification lights. Under this environment, the market size of automotive LEDs was US$190 million in 2002, and it grew by 24.2% in 2003 to US$236 million. In 2004, it grew by 19.1% to US$281 million.

If high-brightness LEDs are successfully adopted for headlights, the above prediction may happen earlier than expected.
