2009 LED NB growth foot, but Taiwan LED industry may not benefit

LED NB from the end of 2007 has been good, but in 2008 did not achieve the desired results, the annual estimated penetration rate of only 10%, but with the international brand manufacturers to accelerate the introduction of NB LED backlight applications, 2009 LED NB and re ignite the light of hope.

Acer (Acer), apple (Apple), DELL (DELl) announced the launch of LED NB products vigorously after the goal, the industry believes that the 2008 LED NB penetration rate of around 10%, 2009 is expected to quickly climbed to 30% in 2010 will grow to 60%, compared to the global mobile phone market growth slowed down, LED NB has become the Taiwan LED factory in 2009, the main growth momentum. But in 2008 the turbulent economic environment, consumer electronic products have become the LED industry can not erase heart headache, plus the LED NB backlight panel manufacturers have rush into the market, and the panel industry is facing the phenomenon of upstream component supply pile up in excess of requirement, industry profits have been compressed natural, for LED packaging industry, is undoubtedly one disaster after another. The decline in product prices is a return to the industry, which means that LED industry in 2009 is also difficult to stick to the price line.

In 2008, LED NB on demand growth is limited, TOYOTA factory synthesis and Nichia and hold the reins, Taiwan factory also actively entered LED NB. Everlight, Qili, kaiding, Lite, first authorised in 2009 adding more competitors, such as LED packaging factory, second tier Baihong East Bay did not dare to be absent, layout and day factory authorized. The industry to join the war, LED NB will become the battlefield of small market competition, fear will be a repeat of 2008 LED small and medium size backlight market close combat assault. It is undeniable that the LED NB market in 2009 is indeed expected to increase the strength of strong growth, but the real benefit of the LED industry in Taiwan, but may not be able to explain as expected.
