2020 UVLED output value of up to $356 million

[LED] Chinese news 2015 LED lighting market price competition, manufacturers began to look to the niche market of higher margin. Where UV LED (UV LED) market due to the high technical threshold, the product price is higher than the general LED several times, a huge market value to attract many manufacturers competing investment. TrendForce's green energy division LEDinside recently published "2015 LED industry supply and demand market database" pointed out that the market value of LED UV in 2015 with $122 million in 2014, the main reason for the UV-A LED (UVA, 320~400nm) prices too fast, leading to the 2015 UV LED overall output growth was not obvious.

LEDinside vice president of research, said Wu Yingjie, although this year the overall UV-A LED market prices fell rapidly, manufacturers are still optimistic that the modest decline in the market is taking off. Manufacturers in the next two years will strive for technological development, plans to enter the UV-C LED (short wave ultraviolet, 280nm below) niche market. With the development of technology and customized UV LED design has become a high margin of blue ocean market niche, is expected to appear as deep ultraviolet communication etc. the wider application of SMS, so LEDinside UV LED estimated that in 2020 the market value will reach $356 million.

UV-A LED products are mainly used in light curing market, accounting for 52%. A good UV optical system must have sufficient irradiation intensity (W) and energy (J), a stronger UV irradiation intensity, the faster the rate of curing, the growth conditions of UV-A LED products. Wu Yingjie pointed out that, in order to avoid price competition, market opportunities in the future UV-A LED in the highly customized, with machine manufacturers curing closely from the collocation and cooling system, optical module design, chip wavelength UV, equipment manufacturers to provide complete solutions.

UV-C LED applications include sterilization of the field, the market size of the huge potential, product profits are also very impressive, Japan, the United States and South Korea are being put into development. At present, the technology of UV-C LED has yet to be broken, and the price of the products varies according to the wavelength, quality, life and order quantity. After 2017, looking forward to the development of UV-C LED technology as well as the implementation of the regulations prohibiting the use of mercury lamp, the market outlook will not be underestimated, while looking forward to become the main growth momentum in the future market.
