Outlook 2014 focus on the LED industry, the transformation of the top six

According to the green energy division of global market research firm TrendForce's LEDinside "gold member report" pointed out that the 2013 LED packaging market worth $12 billion 500 million in 2014, will reach 13 billion 390 million dollars, the annual growth rate of 7%. 2014 LED market is still the highlight of the tablet PC and smart phone backlight applications, lighting applications in engineering, commercial, outdoor lighting market growth is the most significant.

Six changes of LED application market in 2014:

1 TV backlight future growth kinetic energy Limited

According to LEDinside statistics, LED TV backlight penetration will reach 95% in 2013. Affected by saturation saturation and terminal TV sales growth slowed, in 2014 LED TV backlight output will face the first decline.

2 Tablet PC market is still the main growth momentum

2013 tablet by the traditional off-season, coupled with the high level of channel inventory, shipped in the third quarter as expected, under the revised full year shipments to one hundred and ninety-six million units, annual shipments growth dropped to 31.1% from 33.6% at the beginning of the estimated, visible tablet shipments have been slightly cool, although the future tablet growth rate has slowed down, but compared to other IT products is still great growth space. LEDinside estimated 2013~2017 year on year output value of flat panel backlight applications in LED CAGR of 8%.

3.iPhone5 S dual FLASH LED design adds imagination

2013 Flash LED due to the impact of the rapid decline in prices, the overall output value is only 3%. Mobile phone manufacturers in order to increase the added value of mobile phone camera, Apple has been on the iPhone 5S, import True tone flash. technology. That is double star Flash LED for use in a flash, the original white Flash LED structure, increase a warm LED to compensate for color difference, the total demand for double star Flash LED design is expected to push up Flash LED, a number of 2013 will grow 27.3% to 1 billion 440 million, in 2014 reached 1 billion 700 million. Currently LEDinside is still looking at other mobile phone manufacturers will follow up, the future of the FLASH LED market is still a lot of imagination.

4 small spacing LED display technology matures

LED display in addition to the original signal and the use of advertising display, LED manufacturers have begun to launch a small spacing LED display. At present, LED manufacturers launched a small pitch LED display pixel spacing of up to 1.2~1.6mm, with good color saturation, high resolution and other advantages. Especially in the 110 inch display market, the cost is much lower than the same size LCD screen. In the long run, it is possible to replace some of the TV backlight application model into the business and mass consumption.

5 commercial, engineering, outdoor lighting market demand rise

If you observe the LED lighting market, LED packaging applications in the lighting market will be in 2014, the output value will be greatly improved, of which engineering, commercial, outdoor market growth is the most significant. Coupled with the LED bulb lamp, lighting and commercial lighting market demand rise, medium power LED (Mid Power LED) market demand growth, especially the 5630, 3030 and other packaging type is already the mainstream market. LEDinside estimated in 2013 and in mid power LED output value will exceed high-power LED (High Power LED).

6 backlight and lighting generic LED specification gradually emerging

Due to fierce competition in the lighting market price, since the 5630 specification of the city, the price is higher than the traditional high-power LED and widely favored by the lighting manufacturers. So LED manufacturers began to think of ways to launch a better price than 5630 products. Since the product launch 3030 Japanese packaging manufacturers Nichia specifications of the 757 series, the enthusiastic response of the market, so in the second quarter of 2013, many manufacturers out of the product specifications, and has high current characteristics in 2835, Chinese packaging manufacturers gradually carried out, not only can be used in the backlight market, also can be used in the same lighting market. Favored by customers. LEDinside survey pointed out that, compared with 3030 (0.5~0.9W), 2835, and 1-3W of the LED, the best cost-effective package, the price of the most competitive advantage in the third quarter of 2013 has reached USD0.12~0.16 (). Expected future 3030 and 2835 packaging will replace the market mainstream of 5630.
