2012 LED lighting for the first time to become the world's largest LED application market

A report by market research firm Strategies Unlimited has aroused great concern in the LED industry. According to the report pointed out that in 2012 to become the world's first LED lighting applications market (LED element maximum value of 3 billion 110 million U.S. dollars), followed by the LCD panel Backlight Market ($3 billion 60 million), 11 of the world's LED component factory have 72% of the market share, Taiwan factory only billion light.

Because the LED lighting time compared to LED jumped leading industry to estimate the fastest in 2013 2014, the slowest time, accelerate international cooperation LED upstream and downstream of the factory lighting industry to speed up the city for the Taiwan snatch, leading LED epitaxial crystal power plant must complete the introduction of strategic partners of the private placement in May 7th this year, the last moment has become the industry topic, the object will PHILPS crystal electric European lines (Philips), ZumtobEL? Or the United States Department of singular (GE), Lighting Science? Industry speculation never stopped.

Strategies Unlimited report pointed out that the overall revenue LED components market in 2012 amounted to $13 billion 700 million, and in 2017 will reach $16 billion 400 million, application market of LED in 2012, LED revenues accounted for by the order of ranking, solid state lighting LED lighting market accounted for 23%, LCD TV and display LED backlight, 22% mobile devices (including intelligent mobile phone and tablet computer) 19%, signs 13%, vehicles accounted for 10%, other 13%.

According to statistics, at present, 72% of the LED market by the supply of LED components in the plant (single calculation of LED packaging components), in addition, up to 43 points to eat another market accounted for 28%, the competition among manufacturers is still very intense. The top 11 manufacturers Nichia (Nichia), Samsung LED, OSRAM, LG, Innotek Seoul Semiconductor (Seoul), PHILPS Lumileds, CREE, TOYOTA, SHARP, synthesis (TG) and Lumens billion light
