LED demand for lighting Taiwan will become the largest supply area

LED applications continue to rise, which increases the lighting market demand, not only makes LED achieved strong growth, lighting has become the main application. 2010 LED backlight and lighting total revenue of $7 billion 200 million, DisplaySearch forecast in 2011 will grow by more than 20% in volume in 2010, is expected to reach $12 billion 700 million in 2014.

LED overall market demand continues to improve, but the demand for LED backlight gradually reduced, and began to move towards LED lighting applications. DisplaySearch senior analyst Liu Jingmin said. Due to the replacement of halogen lamps, LED has a very high permeability in the spotlight on the application, at the same time the government is expected to boost the policy, to accelerate the application of LED in the street. In the second quarter of 2011, the total revenue of LED lighting reached $3 billion 200 million, which is expected to rise to $3 billion 400 million in the third quarter. Suppliers are also aware of this trend and plans to increase production capacity, estimated in 2011 global LED production capacity will reach 180 billion, will reach 227 billion in 2013.

LED backlight applications, all in small and medium size LCD products, portable personal computer penetration rate of nearly 100%, LCD monitor and LCD TV penetration also continued to increase, but the number of each package to reduce led. 2011 LED backlight total demand for 45 billion 900 million. Since 2010, LCD TV has become the main application of LED backlight, accounting for 50% of demand, estimated to reach the highest value in 2012. However, with the reduction in the number of each LED package, 2013 TV demand will have a slight decline.

2010-2014 LED lighting penetration forecast

At present, Japan is the world's largest LED bulb market, the market share of up to 63%, but in 2014 will be reduced to 40%. Due to the limited power resources and awareness of energy conservation, LED penetration in the Japanese lighting system is high, until 2014 will be the largest lighting market. In addition, after 2011, Taiwan will replace Japan to become the largest supply of LED region; Mainland China in recent years, a large number of LED production, in many applications are also available. The next few years the market will be a substantial development in 2011 due to the oversupply of the market, in the fierce competition at the same time, the sharp decline in prices, which will further enhance the penetration of the LED lighting market.
