The global LED industry has formed a situation of tripartite confrontation pattern of Asian American in Europe

In recent years, the rapid development of semiconductor lighting industry, will gradually enter the field of general lighting, so the United States, Europe and Asia in various countries and regions are actively implementing the development plan of semiconductor lighting, semiconductor lighting industry will even rise to the national strategic deployment system, such as the "National Semiconductor Lighting project", "solid state lighting (SSL) research and development program", the European "Rainbow plan", Japan's "twenty-first Century lighting plan", "South Korea branch of -GaN semiconductor optoelectronics industry plan". The initial formation of global distribution of LED industry and competition in Asia, North America, Europe's three largest regional center.

The level of technology, Japan's Nichia (N IC HIA) and TOYOTA (ToyodaGosei), the synthesis of CREE be (Cree), PHILPS (Lumileds), lumen Germany OSRAM (Orsam), South Korea (Seouls EMI cONductor) Seoul semiconductor, the highest level of international manufacturers such as representative of the global LED industry, leading the development of semiconductor lighting products. At present, the highest power white LED device light commercial level is Cree 132lm/W. according to the semiconductor lighting development roadmap of the United States, Japan and South Korea's judgment, to light effect of LED in 2015 will reach more than 150lm/W, the trend of LED to replace incandescent and fluorescent lamps and other traditional light source has become the industry consensus. On the world's highest level of research and development, Cree announced in February 2010 that its laboratory data has reached 208lm/W, which is a landmark record.

The application of the market, according to a research report recently released DigiTimes, LED and LED benefit from the rise of television lighting gradually replaced the traditional lighting technology, LED output in 2010 an increase of 55.6% in 2009, the global LED output value will maintain an annual growth of over 25%.

Semiconductor lighting products in the Japanese market sales growth rate has been on the way ahead of other countries, Japan NEC, SHARP, Toshiba, Matsushita, Hitachi and other manufacturers have launched a large-scale lighting semiconductor lighting products in low price, currently in Japan, many electronic stores are visible to every kind of LED bulb. According to the GKF survey in Japan, in 2009 the domestic market in Japan, the number of LED bulbs in the domestic market is about 33 times in July, and is expected in the next 1~2 years will maintain the scale of growth rate of more than 10 billion yen in.

The United States is very strict market access, energy star standards, UL and other high and cumbersome certification costs, plus the impact of the financial crisis in 2008, LED lighting market in the U.S. market has not really started. According to the United States solid state lighting LED roadmap, LED lighting will begin in 2012 to enter the fluorescent lighting market, respectively, in 2012 and in 2020 will be a large number of incandescent and fluorescent lamps to replace.

EU countries due to the interests and the starting point is different, resulting in a number of standards and norms lag, so the European market access standards and technical barriers relatively loose. European environmental protection and energy saving awareness is relatively mature, environmental protection products to accept a higher degree, application of governments are LED lights have launched a subsidy program, the European market in LED lighting application popularization and the promotion rate is higher. Supermarkets in some major European countries have begun to sell 10W bulbs and spotlights below LED. Lighting giant PHILPS and OSRAM has been in the 2010 Frankfurt lighting show a large-scale application of its product line, and began the construction of European LED lighting market channels and promotion.

South Korea and China's Taiwan region has a complete consumer electronics industry chain, attaches great importance to the use of electronic products backlight LED, while the European and American companies on consumer electronics backlight with little interest in LED. 2009, the successful marketing of Samsung LED-TV, led the revolution in the global LCD TV backlight, promote the rapid growth of products in Korea and China's enterprises backlight LED.
