LED market is affected by the field of backlight recession, the overall GDP growth stalled, in addition to the type a niche in the industrial applications, automotive LED is one of the few with the size of the market and is still one of the fast growing applications. TrendForce LEDinside's green can cause place, according to new research in the second quarter of 2016, global regional market growth slowing, but the light from the transformation of traditional light bulb to LED the trend continues, the more mature markets have import high proportion of leds, emerging countries also follow up step by step. LEDinside forecast 2016 outside lighting LED the market value of $1.57 billion, 2016 ~ 2020 annual compound growth rate of 6%.

LEDinside Lv Lishun research manager, said in Chinese mainland market, mainland China lamp still LED import or not the main consideration for the price. Because the car lights and rear lamp specifications and lighting/LED backlight LED, now more than 70% of the total import, close to international level. DRL (day light) in mainland China product technology has developed rapidly in recent years, some Chinese mainland factories even convert low power LED import DRL applications. LEDinside forecast in China in 2016 the DRL permeability as high as 47%. High power High/LowBeam (distance light) due to technical threshold is higher, still give priority to in order to import, permeability is less than 3%.
Lv Lishun pointed out that the traditional lamp light source to replace only can take out from the back cover, but at present, the development of the LED light source, the original factory mostly one-piece module form, feasibility of the replacement of a block from the back cover so manufacturers in order to improve the vehicle LED permeability, start targeting plug type to replace light source, become another trend window of lights. Current replacement type LED headlamp with PM (modified market) as the main target market, especially in China's most active. Mainland China PM market to replace light source by HID (gas discharging type head lamp), due to replace the type of LED headlamp about between high and low order HID market opportunities, both ends of the future is expected to erosion.
Lv Lishun said, as prices decline and improve lighting, LED headlights permeability will be gradually enhanced, product positioning will also order from the high order gradually permeate to type. In addition, the replacement type LED headlights, will slowly change the past LED headlights integrity of modularization and cutting out more parity LED head lamp products.
Replace type LED headlights at the beginning of the development of the lack of perfect laws and norms, and belongs to the retail market, consumers are more than the price as the main considerations when choosing, manufacturers can adopt the most price competitiveness to make the product packaging format, but also derive light form does not conform to laws and regulations. Lv Lishun pointed out that although the early forms of encapsulation of LED light source will enter the replacement type LED headlamp market at the same time, to accord with the original light reflection structure design, however, the future of LED light source will conform to the form of a linear array, thus replacing type LED lights have a chance of the industry reshuffle.
