The global market research firm TrendForce's green energy division LEDinside latest "2014 China packaging industry market report" shows that in effect the rapid spread of the LED lighting market, manufacturers began to enter the international market in 2013 Chinese China LED package, LED package market size of $7 billion 200 million, the annual growth of 20%.

LEDinside analyst Yu Bin said that China's LED packaging market is divided into international, Taiwan and China's three major camps. Squeezed by international and mainland manufacturers, Taiwan manufacturers in China's market share has gradually declined, so the Chinese LED packaging market is mainly the competition between international and Chinese local manufacturers. Under the influence of patents, technology, short term international manufacturers in Chinese will still maintain high-speed growth, but with the Chinese manufacturers Technology and advantages of the industrial chain of manufacturing scale, the cost will be more competitive in the market share of China package will gradually expand. In response to this situation, international manufacturers will continue to set up production bases in China, and actively looking for OEM supply in order to strengthen the development of China's market layout.

International manufacturers including CREE, Nichia, PHILPS, both in the control of patent layout or technique is in the leading position in the world. The application of LED products manufacturers in the production of China most exports to Europe, North America and other places, not only to meet the strict safety regulations, standards, must also face the patent problem, so the international LED vendors has the advantage of better. Along with the economic recovery in Europe and the United States market, international manufacturers performance also have leap forward growth in China packaging market, 2013 international manufacturers in the total revenue China LED packaging market size of $2 billion, the annual growth of 40%, which is Seoul semiconductor Nichia, has more than 80% years of growth.

Chinese manufacturers have industrial chain, manufacturing advantages. Despite the late start of China's LED industry, technology, patents are lagging behind international manufacturers. But with the Chinese government's strong support for the LED industry, the upstream chip industry development speed, but also accelerate the development of packaging industry. The LED lighting market in emerging countries gradually take off, also create new opportunities for local China packaging manufacturers, Linsen, Ruifeng and poly flying China local packaging manufacturers to develop rapidly, Yu Bin said that in 2013 China local firms value of about $4 billion 500 million, the annual growth of 15%.

Taiwan manufacturers include Everlight, Lunda, East Bay, early into the market China grabbed a space for one person, but with the rapid rise of international and domestic manufacturers, manufacturers in Taiwan in 2013 China packaging market revenue size of $640 million, the annual reduction of 1%, the overall performance showed a downward trend, but still maintain the Lunda billion light and dazzling performance. Currently Taiwan manufacturers are actively adjust product strategy, the introduction of more products in line with the Chinese market, is expected to become one of China's packaging market competition in the future one of the main camp.
