Seoul Semiconductor Closes in on OSRAM for Global No.2
2025.05.09
SEOUL, South Korea--Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ:
046890), a leading global innovator of LED products and technology, announced
that it has achieved a remarkable milestone by maintaining stable growth
despite a downturn in the LED industry, narrowing the market share gap with
global No.2 player ams OSRAM to just 1 percentage point.
According to the recently published “2024 Global LED Market Share Rankings” by
market research firm Omdia, Seoul Semiconductor was the only company among the
global top three to sustain both revenue and market share, while industry
leaders Nichia and ams OSRAM experienced significant revenue declines amid the
market slowdown.
This achievement is underpinned by Seoul Semiconductor’s robust technological
competitiveness, driven by its commitment to innovation even amidst global
economic uncertainty. The company has consistently invested over 10% of its
annual revenue in R&D, resulting in a portfolio of more than 18,000 patents
worldwide.
In particular, Seoul Semiconductor has secured a differentiated edge with its
proprietary "No-wire" technology, a core component of Micro LED
displays. The company further solidified its leadership in this area by winning
a patent litigation at the Unified Patent Court (UPC) in Europe, reinforcing
the strength and exclusivity of its No-wire technology in the next-generation
display market.
According to Omdia, the Micro LED segment is emerging as a key frontier in
next-generation display technology and is expected to grow into a market worth
approximately USD 80 billion by 2040.
