Foreword: In recent years, the light source of automobile lights has evolved from the original halogen lamp - xenon lamp - to LED, and the design has also become more diversified and humanized. , can achieve the dual benefits of changing visual effects and energy saving. The headlights are like the most important eyes of a beauty. The first sight of appreciation often falls on the visual effects of the headlights, especially on the street at night, and can present the diversified functions of LED headlights. The key components are LED lights. In addition to the source, there is also an important component that connects various functional modules - the light source module connector.

1. Analysis of global and Chinese automotive lighting market:

Before introducing the LED light source module connector, let’s talk about the evolution and trend of the LED car light market. The current global car light market analysis is as follows:

In 2022, it will reach 35.9 billion US dollars, a huge market with an annual growth of 5-8%. The future trend is LED lights with more advantages in functionality and energy saving.

In 2020, it will reach 63 billion yuan, with an annual growth rate of 5-8%. China has become the world's largest automotive lighting market. In the future, LED automotive lighting will account for more than 50%. With the largest automotive lamp market as the basis, it also means that the demand for related parts and components market has increased significantly year by year!

Next, we will further analyze the market structure and industrial chain of global automotive lights, so that we can analyze the main manufacturers of automotive lights in the market and the layout of the industrial chain.

The five major auto lamp manufacturers have a global market share of up to 80% in China, and there is a pattern of one superpower and multiple strong players in the mainland Chinese market. The following major manufacturers are summarized:

1. Shanghai Koito in China was renamed as Huayu Vision and divided into Shanghai Huayu/Chongqing Huayu,

2. Japanese Koito--Guangzhou Koito/Hubei Koito/Fuzhou Daiyi Koito

3. HELLA Group--Beijing HELLA/Jiaxing HELLA/FAW Fuwei HELLA

4. Valeo Group--Guangzhou Light Valeo/Wuhan Valeo

5. Marelli Group--Shanghai Marelli/Guangzhou Marelli

6. Stanley Group--Guangzhou Stanley

7. Xingyu headlights -- Changzhou Xingyu

Take the market structure of the above-mentioned seven major auto lamp factories. Recently, many OEMs have integrated relevant resources across borders to establish their own lamp factories or module factories, so as to master the resources in the product design patents of future lamps and enrich the functions of their own products.

Example:

Great Wall Haval/WEY---Hebei Mande Optoelectronics

Geely Auto/Lynk & Co---Zhejiang Lingwei Vision

The integration of resources and crossover of various OEMs means that the automobile market has entered into a very strong market competition. It is necessary to fully grasp the confidentiality of product design and the personalization of functional modeling in order to make market segmentation needs to be favored by consumers. !

In addition, due to the application of intelligent cockpit, automotive intelligent interior lamp modules and related manufacturers are gradually emerging in the market. Among them, the American Magna Group and the domestic Zhejiang Ningbo Fulda are the two main manufacturers.

2. Introduction of lamp classification:

The application function of car lights has changed from the original simple lighting to diversified, and the application scenarios inside and outside the car are becoming more and more abundant.

Similar to matrix headlights and flowing taillights, they are all designed by taking full advantage of the changing characteristics of LED light source modules!

3. Introduction to the automotive lighting industry chain:

Most of the car light source module connectors will have a lot of technical and product exchanges with light source module manufacturers and car light assembly manufacturers, which also means that in the design of car light products, connectors are extremely critical components other than LEDs. one of the parts.

Four. Application introduction of car light connector:

The use of various light source modules in car lights is inseparable from the connection of the connector wires. Take the previous headlight module as an example, the red circle here represents the series connection of each set of connectors and wiring harnesses. For each headlight, at least 20-30 sets of connectors will be connected in series and applied to different light source modules.
