2015 operating trend of various manufacturers of different continents or the most dazzling

Photoelectric Association (PIDA) estimates this year Taiwan LED components industry output value increased by 14%, compared to last year expanded, mainly due to the two leading listed company factory EPISTAR (2448), (2393) billion light start acquisitions and expansion, increase output growth; although output ranked first in the world, but the global influence of LED industry in Taiwan is not high, and the need to prevent land plant catching.

PIDA said that this year Taiwan LED element output will still sit in the global leader, EPISTAR actively and the next step is to acquire foreign companies, plus billion light into new construction and factory expansion, prompting Taiwan to significantly enhance the international visibility.

Although output ranked champion, but the Taiwan LED industry influence in the global lighting market is still not high, the lighting market still by international companies or areas dominated by local lighting manufacturers, even in the past few mobile phone and TV backlight competitors also have many competitors, such as three, in magnitude, especially for lighting applications the market is more severe challenges by land factory price competition.

It is expected that this year will continue to carry out the LED factory and integration, Taiwan should seize the opportunity to plant roots in niche market, such as factory on Renesas (Renesas) exit red market, Taiwan film factory to replace the supply gap to homeopathy, downstream customers turn to Taiwan factory, including billion light, Dingyuan (2426) are benefit on factory exit order pocket.

PIDA said on the plant this year will continue to face exchange rate disturbances, manufacturers denominated in yen products is expected to increase due to relative price competitiveness. But the parts procurement will also due to exchange rate caused by high cost, so last year, plant operation trend of different tune, estimated this year on the small value of LED element increased 5%; South Korea under the brand terminal factory the sea security display, mobile phone, there will be a slight growth of 2% this year.

The growth rate, is the most dazzling, drive in the development of power LED lighting applications in the rapid growth, coupled with LED independent supply chain gradually forming, including three safety optoelectronics, Linsen, country star, in recent years there are 40% poly fly jump this year output growth, estimated annual increase of 25%.
