2009 LED lighting market opportunities appear

Energy saving and emission reduction has clearly become a common voice of the country and the world, and the semiconductor lighting industry as the focus of a new round of development of high-tech industry, known as the world's best chance, the most popular industry, various countries and regions have issued a series of policies to support the development of semiconductor lighting industry. The industry believes that by 2011, LED is likely to appear in the general lighting market growth. But in 2009, LED street lamp is expected to increase by 1 million, of which there are 50% from the Chinese market, the growth of LED street lamp applications will help to promote the popularity of LED in indoor lighting.

potential market

According to estimates, academician of the Academy of Engineering China Semiconductor Research Institute researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Chen Lianghui, as long as the current 1/3 incandescent lamp is LED energy-saving lamps replaced per year for the country to save electricity 100 billion kwh, equivalent to a year generating capacity of the Three Gorges project.

According to the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RenssELaer Polytechnic Institute, RPI) of the study, if the global use of LED lighting technology, is expected in the next ten years under $1 trillion and 800 billion (trillion) of electricity, and coal-fired power plants to reduce the burning of 1 billion barrels of crude oil, and thus eliminate the carbon dioxide emissions of 10 billion tonnes.

All of the above figures prove that LED can achieve energy saving and energy efficiency, and has a broad application market.

Technical breakthrough

LED in the construction of lighting, decorative lighting, commercial and industrial lighting, display lighting and other areas of penetration has been very impressive, but has not yet cut into the business opportunities in the field of general lighting. The industry generally believes that only when the white LED luminous efficiency exceeded 100lm/W, LED is expected to enter the general lighting market.

Currently, the industry's highest data for the CREE 161lm/W, although this is only laboratory data, but Cree has produced millions of more than 100 lumens above the lighting level XLamp? LED. PHILPS also announced that in 2009 will be the flagship LED home lighting market. Domestically, KingSun also stepping up research and development of indoor lighting LED lamp. Visible from the action of the lighting business, LED into the general lighting market trend is inevitable, but also through technological progress and cost reduction process.

Government action

At the beginning of 2008, the Ministry of Finance decided to implement the "Interim Measures" efficient lighting products to promote financial subsidies to fund management, although it refers to energy-saving lamps, but also can be seen from the state of energy saving lighting products and not pay attention to.

So far, the European Union, the United States, Canada and Taiwan, China and other countries and regions have issued a ban on incandescent lamps, it is reported that China's relevant policies are brewing. This will give enterprises injected a cardiac LED.

Affected by the financial crisis, many governments have introduced policies to expand domestic demand, including science and technology, energy saving products favored. In China's 4 trillion economic measures to stimulate domestic demand, the application of energy-saving lamps LED products become a very important piece. Many companies will see the financial crisis as a turning point for the development of enterprises, good internal strength, and actively layout of the LED lighting market.

Industry forecast

According to the Taiwan Institute of statistics, in 2007 the global LED lighting market in Asia and emerging applications demand growth driven by $330 million, by 2012 the global LED lighting market will grow to $1 billion 400 million.

March 3, 2009, ABI Research's research branch NextGen Research also pointed out that the annual output value of the global semiconductor lighting market is expected to exceed $33 billion in 2013. Among them, the LED market, the average annual growth rate (CAGR) in the category of lighting products during the period 2009-2013 will be close to 22%, while the display of the same product category CAGR is expected to be more than 14%.
