The huge space for the automotive LED lighting market is attracting more and more companies to participate in it, and companies that have already taken the lead in the market are also expanding their advantages.
According to a Reuters report on the 15th, German lighting company Osram finance head Ingo Bank revealed in an interview with the German media "Securities" that Osram is seeking mergers and acquisitions, the total amount of mergers and acquisitions is up to 500 million euros (530 million US dollars), although currently There are no specific trading plans.
Ingo Bank said that OSRAM hopes to strengthen its electronics and software sectors under the automotive lighting sector and is looking for acquisition targets or partners. Osram has a large amount of funds available after the sale of the lighting department LEDvance, which brought the company a total revenue of about 500 million euros.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the performance report showed that OSRAM was affected by the adjusted portfolio and currency, and its revenue in the fourth quarter of 2016 increased by nearly 8% compared with the same period of the previous year. The LED component business (optoelectronic semiconductor or OS) achieved growth, with revenue growth of 15% over the same period last year, with the growth of the automotive and infrared businesses particularly strong.
Earlier, OSRAM said that by 2020, the company's optical semiconductor factory will increase its manpower by about 50%, mainly responsible for manufacturing and R&D to balance the demand for LED components and infrared rays for assisted driving systems. The company also plans to invest 10 million euros ($10.64 million) in the production of LED components in the new plant in Kulimia.
On October 4, 2016, OSRAM successfully completed the acquisition of Novità Technologies. Novità Technologies is a well-known manufacturer of automotive LED modules in the United States. Its products are mainly used as taillights, fog lights and daytime running lights. Through this acquisition, OSRAM will further expand its position in the US automotive LED market and enrich the product portfolio of LED modules in automotive projects.
In addition to the European and American LED manufacturers that have innate advantages, Taiwan LED manufacturers have become weaker after the advantages of the general lighting LED market. The LEDs for vehicles have also become one of the choices for adjusting the business and product structure to seize the high gross profit market.
