2014 is a key year for the development of LED lighting

2013 for the LED lighting industry, it can be described as a journey of great significance. After the investment fever, price war, closures, integration tide, LED lighting market is gradually entering the stage of rational development. At present, the world's "white" campaign and the growing demand for the market under the stimulation of a wave of light is surging tide replacement. In this traditional lighting "revolution" campaign, LED will undoubtedly become the biggest beneficiaries.

In the market demand, in 2013 became the LED lighting outbreak first year, 2014 is a crucial year for the development of LED lighting, in the upcoming 2014, industry insiders have predicted, LED lighting industry will usher in a new outbreak.

Prices continued to decline, lighting demand will be greatly increased

In recent years, the global lighting market began to show no white effect, at the same time by the rapid decline in influence of upstream chip technology upgrading and price between LED lighting and traditional lighting products gradually narrowing the gap, downstream of the LED lighting product prices has become an indisputable. At present, the price of LED lighting products are decreasing at the rate of 20% per year, many areas either replace 40W or 60W LED bulbs even have the lowest price of less than $10, gradually approaching the traditional energy-saving lamp price.

According to global research statistics, 2013 October to replace 40W global LED product parts price fell more obvious, the regional brand lamps have the lowest price below $10, and the product price gap between different regions is gradually narrowing. Especially in the UK, showing a sharp decline of 11%. Part of the original price of high priced items down, low-priced items will continue to decline. OSRAM, Samsung, LG and other brands in the UK are close to or less than $10 of products sold. The region to replace the lowest commodity price of 40W has now reached $8.1. In the United States region, in addition to CREE, WAL-MART recently launched low-cost bulbs, PHILPS, Ecosmart has also been less than $10 of products sold. The region to replace the current 40W commodity prices have been down to $9.

At present, the global LED lighting products with varying degrees of speed gradually decreased, the main effects on LED product prices, lower prices push factors have two aspects: one is the promotion of technology makes the LED production costs can be reduced. In recent years, the LED upstream chip industry huge investment, the current chip prices have dropped to 30% in 2010. At the same time, the new technology of PhilipsLumileds and Toshiba, also emerge in an endless stream, Taiwan semiconductor solid-state lighting, crystal electric and canyuan free chip products have been launched, and become a powerful weapon in the face of price pressures in the future LED. The second aspect is that, because of the huge prospects of LED lighting to attract a lot of capital influx, the increasingly fierce market competition makes the price has become an important means of competition for LED companies. In addition, PHILPS, Panasonic, CREE and other international LED giants to join the international LED brand also further provoke a price war".

The related research center that, thanks to the upper and middle reaches of the price advantage gradually decline, by 2014 the global LED lighting products prices still decline in space, is expected to Chinese LED indoor lighting products prices 2013-2014 the average annual decline of about 20%, LED lighting market is expected to usher in a new round of the outbreak of the strong. In the past, in the lighting market, with household lighting penetration minimum, it is because LED lighting products prices are too high in the past, home dress often take several years to recover, but now with the LED bulb price, governments have banned incandescent lamp, coupled with the global economic recovery will contribute to LED lighting is expected to fermentation. In 2014, LED lighting market demand will increase greatly. At the same time, the price decline will accelerate the industry consolidation and survival of the fittest, forcing enterprises to reduce costs, strengthen management, optimize resources, integrate supply chain, enhance their competitiveness to meet the outbreak of the market.

Beyond the backlight, lighting became the first major application of LED in 2014

According to the latest market report: Global Market Research Agency pointed out that due to the LED lighting industry saw huge opportunities, global lighting manufacturers have accelerated the pace of the field to enter the LED, caused by LED lighting products terminal sales prices fell rapidly, increasing consumer acceptance. In 2013, China's LED lighting market in commercial, home, industrial and outdoor lighting were 24%, 96%, 28% and 46% of the growth momentum, and began to gradually into millions of households.

The rapid decline in prices directly affect the LED lighting products market penetration. Currently, the global market penetration of LED lighting is rapidly increasing. The estimated 2014 LED lighting market value of $35 billion 300 million, compared with 2013 growth of 47.8%, while the estimated 2014 LED lighting penetration rate will increase to 32.7% by the year of 8%-10%, the bulb and lamp penetration will reach 20% and 15%.

In terms of the type of product applications, the growth rate of alternative light source products is the most obvious, bulb bulbs and tubes are the most popular type of replacement light source market, accounting for 38% and of 2013 LED lighting products. In the future, the integration of LED lighting product type demand will gradually rise, especially with the application of intelligent lighting products, will usher in a very broad market space.

In the world of energy-saving emission reduction and the strong support of social policy, and now, LED lighting products have begun to gradually replace the traditional lighting products. Especially in the home with the LED bulb lamp, the major international manufacturers to carry out multi channel layout, store, super,
