EVs are boosting the demand for automotive LEDs. While LED headlamp market uptake exceeded 60% in 2021 in the automotive sector as a whole, the figure is 90% in the NEV (new-energy vehicle) category, according to a TrendForce survey. All automakers are actively promoting smart LED headlamp technology. ADB proliferation is expected to jump around 4% in 2023 and 7% per cent in 2025, up from 2% in 2021.
With the popularity of smart application-equipped EVs, interior features are diversifying. International automakers are forced to balance user-friendly features and car safety. As the features get more sophisticated, electronic circuit may generate more electromagnetic interference (EMI). Therefore, electronics parts and components suppliers will have to tune their solutions to meet more stringent regulations.
In the last newsletter, published in 22 February, DVN wrote “IHS-Markit foresee around 36 million cars equipped with ADB in 2026”. It was not 36 million cars but 36 million ADB systems which means 18 million cars equipped with ADB. This forecast is a little more than the TrendForce forecast.
DVN would like to apologize to IHS and its members on the wrong information.
