2013 global LED bulb penetration will increase to 12.5%

Market research firm DIGITIMESResearch analyst and project manager Lin Fen Hui pointed out that although the total market value of LED lighting lighting is still small, estimated in 2010 the permeability is only about 3.2%, but because of the rising awareness of environmental protection, promoting policies, is expected to LED lighting will become one of the preferred energy-saving lighting products are imported. Without considering the technology category, current global lighting market size of about 20 billion, with 40W and 60W the main specifications of traditional light bulb is gradually changed, is expected to 2013, global shipments will reach 2 billion 500 million LED bulbs, shipments of penetration is expected to increase to 12.5%.

According to the U.S. Department of energy (DOE) for the LED lighting development schedule, 2010 efficiency target of 140lm/W in 2020 to upgrade to 243lm/W. Because there are many manufacturers to develop products reach 140lm/W level, if the annual estimated luminous efficiency at the speed of 15%-20%, the U.S. Department of energy under the 2020 luminous efficiency standards, should have the opportunity to advance the realization.

On the output side, DIGITIMESResearch stressed that the past LED lighting applications in portable lighting, decorative lighting, indirect lighting etc.. But because of the traditional incandescent lamp in 2012 is about to enter cut-off lock up point, it is expected that LED lighting shipments will grow significantly, the output value is expected to increase to $8 billion, pushing up the value of LED lighting market share 10% challenges.

With LED manufacturers such as PHILPS (Philips), OSRAM (Osram), Cree actively expand the general lighting market, many countries began to add the budget at the same time LED replacement lamps, LED lighting products prices decline year by year, estimated that by 2013, the global LED lighting production market share have greater access to 20% level.
