Japan LED lighting off Taiwan plants to eat pie

Power saving measures come with 311 of the Fukushima disaster, prompting Japanese consumers to switch to LED lighting intend to ascend in 2011 to promote LED lighting market to accelerate the growth of the bulb type LED lamp incandescent lamp has exceeded the proportion of Taiwan, is expected to benefit from the factory.

Japan because of concerns about global warming is becoming more and more serious and lack of natural resources and other factors, decided to ban the production and use of low efficiency incandescent bulbs since 2012, prompting the Japanese manufacturers lighting is also engaged in the light emitting diode (LED) lighting production line.

Taiwan LED industry, 311 in Japan after the earthquake, felt that the Japanese government and people work together toward the goal of "energy saving" trend, with the government subsidy policies to promote the timely release, compared to other European countries, Japan is the most rapidly into LED lighting area.

According to statistics, Japan in 311 after the earthquake, bulb type LED lamp sales than before the earthquake to grow 2 to 3 times, accounting for the proportion of ball type lighting has for the first time more than incandescent bulbs, display the 311 earthquake in Japan Japan LED lighting market growth accelerated.

Market research agency DIGITIMES Research pointed out that in 2010 the Japanese LED lighting market in the rapid expansion of the scale, up to 86 billion 500 million yen (about $1 billion 100 million), compared with 2009 growth of 2.7 times, the main reason of Japan's LED development technology is mature, the government actively promote also have a certain role.

DIGITIMES Research forecast LED lighting market in Japan will be ahead of other countries in 2011, the first to enter the growth period, by 2015, the Japanese LED lighting market penetration may exceed 70%.

Taiwan manufacturers active in LED lighting industry last year, Japan's leading global LED lighting development, Taiwan manufacturers are actively eat pie, including delta, new century, etc. Huaxing factory has large cooperation with the Japanese, is the biggest beneficiaries.

At this stage, the packaging and application of the major manufacturers, including Delta Electronics and Optoelectronics are owned by their own brands, OEM dual track model, delta electricity from the beginning of last year received a series of Japanese and European manufacturers LED bulb oem.

In addition, from the upstream epitaxial plant foot downstream lighting module into the new century, in May last year announced a partnership with Japan's JFE Holdings JFE engineering company, with Japanese companies and local government as the object of marketing by LED lighting optoelectronic manufacturing in the new century, the Japanese attack LED lighting market.

The new century, said the future of bilateral cooperation, the main sales market lock factories, office buildings, stations, road lighting, etc..

DIGITIMES Research said that Japan will begin in 2012 for various lighting manufacturers to stop manufacturing and sales of incandescent bulbs, demand when the bulb type LED lamp will be increased, therefore, following the 2011 LED lighting needs to accelerate growth after 2012, LED lighting market will still maintain a high growth rate of 77%, will further enhance the market penetration. 45%.

DIGITIMES Research estimates, with the Japanese government will also promote the next generation lighting subsidy program, estimated that by 2015, Japan's LED lighting market penetration may reach more than 70%.
