The nemesis of led-laser will come out
Analysts believe that laser lighting is expected to become the next important technological leap. According to BMW, compared to LED, laser lighting technology can provide 5 times the illuminance, while the power consumption is only half of LED. At present, only the headlights of BMW i8 and new 7 series cars use laser lighting technology, while the technology used by Audi in the limited edition R8 LMX car is provided by Osram. Market observers believe that a limiting factor in the use of laser lighting technology is that the US regulatory authorities have not yet approved the technology. Once the technology is approved, even if LED is the fastest growing technology, it is expected that automotive headlights will be dominated by halogen lamps. LED will become a new growth point in automotive headlight technology. LED headlights will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 16.2%, and by 2025 it will promote the technology to successfully surpass the bi-xenon headlights on the market. In the future, LED headlights will be used more and more. The main driving factors for lighting depend to a large extent on the cost of xenon lamps. In contrast, LED lights have lower cost, better performance and higher reliability. It is estimated that the global penetration rate of LEDs will increase from 2.5% in 2015 to about 17% in 2030. In terms of regions, just as in the case of xenon lamps, Europe and Japan are expected to take the lead in applying LED lamps to the field of automotive lighting. It is estimated that the LED penetration rate in Europe will increase from about 6% in 2015 to one-third in 2030; while the LED penetration rate in Japan will be 7% and 40% respectively.
