LED manufacturers are branching into the niche application markets as the competition in their industry expands. Currently, entering the automotive LED market is regarded as a blue ocean strategy because the market has relatively few contestants and allows for higher pricing. According to the latest Gold Member Report – 2016 LED Market Demand and Supply Analysis by LEDinside, a division of TrendForce, the worldwide market value of exterior automotive LEDs for 2015 is expected to reach US$1.21 billion.
Revolutionary advances in information and communication technology (ICT) have led to the explosive growth of mobile devices and brought about the age of the Internet of Things (IoT). These developments also led to a massive overhaul of the manufacturing sector that is based the principles of “Industry 4.0”. As of now, countries have showcased their respective Industry 4.0/digital manufacturing initiatives – the U.S., Germany, Japan and others – are still in the exploration stage in terms of solutions and products offered by their industries. Mass commercialization has yet to take place.
The latest analysis from global research firm TrendForce reveals that the global demand growth for industrial robots continues to accelerate on account of workforce shortages and loss of demographic dividends. Harrison Po, senior manager of TrendForce’s photonics and innovative technologies research, said that China in recent years has been energetically pushing forward with the transformation of its economy, and sales of industrial robots in the country has been growing rapidly in response to the rising demand for automation. Based on TrendForce’s projection, the industrial robot demand in China is expected to reach 95,000 units in 2016.
