LED lighting into the market trend is just around the corner

With LED luminous efficiency steadily improve, LED currently used in the lighting market, technology has no doubt, but the current market promote the biggest obstacle, still in its high price, today (2010) in the Japanese market by SHARP (Sharp) the first to hit the price war, in one fell swoop LED bulbs to cut prices LED ball lamp, success will be the single 7W can replace 40W traditional incandescent bulbs prices to 3000 yen. This year in Japan to sell the light bulb, every 5, there are 1 LED bulbs.

Japanese market shine

ITRI Sankei center leader Lin Zhixun said, because the Japanese high price countries, per unit of electricity up to 6.5 yuan NT, so the energy efficiency of LED lighting was outstanding, this year in Japan factory cut, LED bulb price reached with bulbs competition price. Industry said that this year the price of LED light bulbs faster than market expectations. SHARP is also due to take the lead in the price of LED bulbs, from the third place in the ranks of the lighting market on the way forward, beyond Toshiba (Toshiba), arranged in Japan LED light bulb sales items in the top 5 of the top 4.

While LED lighting market potential, coupled with the relative semiconductor or PC industry, product technical threshold, capital investment is not high, also attract various industries to pack into, both from the upstream LED all the way to the downstream lighting system there are constantly new entrants into the. However, Taiwan LED lighting industry also said, whether it is to do street, or do the general lighting industry, there is no one really earn money, most of the LED lighting industry is now still burn phase, so this year LED lighting market in Japan shine, no different to Taiwan lighting industry morale.

Global LED output Cree leading Hongkong managing director Li Shiyi believes that this year the global LED lighting market share reached 5%, accounting for 2012 will exceed 10%, with the market development experience, once the new product market share above 13.5% after the import speed will quickly take off. Li Shiyi quoted PHILPS (Philips) lighting in September this year, the report pointed out that the estimated LED market share will reach 50% by the year of 2015.

America led the development of LED lighting - the institutions of the State Department of energy (DOE) for the LED lighting market is the milepost until 2020, but the development of lighting manufacturers estimate is faster, one of the 5 global lighting manufacturers General Manager of PHILPS Taiwan Bai Jiansheng said that the trend of LED lighting will come soon. PHILPS estimates, internal report to PHILPS LED lighting sales, 2015 will be more than traditional products, including 1/4 as light source, 3/4 lamp.

China the world's largest LED street market

Lin Zhixun pointed out that this year due to the Japanese market first established the successful experience, the price is higher than expected in Japan is expected to become the European regional market under an import, such as Italy, Portugal, Austria, Hungary, the United Kingdom and Ireland, there are opportunities for development. Lin Zhixun bluntly, once the European market began to fully import LED bulbs, Taiwan plant and then expand the number of grain production capacity is not a problem.

According to the Japanese construction industry survey pointed out that the current LED lighting sales in Japan downlight accounted for 6 of the items above, is expected in 2013, Japan LED lighting will replace incandescent lamps become the largest market of products. This year, the development of LED lighting in the display, commercial, industrial and outdoor lighting is the most significant, have exceeded the average performance of industrial development. The LED light source module and the replacement for the future product development trends.

In addition, Chinese market will also become an important stronghold of the development of LED industry. CLSA noted that in terms of market, Chinese is now the world's largest LED outdoor lighting market in 2009, a total of 250 thousand sets of LED lights, accounting for 42% of the global LED lighting market, estimated this year will grow to 400 thousand LED street lamp, accounting for 46% of the global lighting market.

Due to Chinese in LED industry development, the high order LED epitaxy is falling so China background factory, more actively to build order change, land, tax incentives and subsidies to attract large factories, Taiwan LED epitaxial leading manufacturers in the west, canyuan (3061) first to set up Chinese epitaxial plant after the leader crystal electric (2448) also had to be moved to Chinese production base, at the same time further and Chinese electronic information industry group (CEC) in hand, LED will set up a factory in Xiamen Chinese "development of crystal lighting (Xiamen) Co. Ltd., which is composed of crystal electric holding 6, other 4 is crystal electricity, billion light (2393), holding the AOC joint venture company and China billion guanjing electronic information industry group. According to crystal electric announcement, the development of crystal lighting will be engaged in R & D, production and sales of light-emitting diode epitaxy chip, grain, LED light source module and lighting products, is expected to start in 2012 revenue contribution.

Taiwan factory west to compete for business opportunities

Corporation pointed out that Chinese Chinese intended to enhance LED technology and local support for local industrial development, therefore, a joint venture with Chinese enterprise established company is the inevitable condition. In short, Taiwan LED warlords want to eat Chinese lighting business opportunities, the most basic requirement is to set up factories in china.
