CIR predicts the development of LED industry in China in 2008

The day before the U.S. market research firm Communications Industry Researchers (CIR) forecast, 2008 LED market will reach $6 billion 800 million, an average annual growth of 20%~30%, with the increase of LED application, this material has a rising trend. Estimated that by 2010, the entire Chinese market LED industry output value will be more than 150 billion yuan. LED industry chain, LED chips with LED chips probably account for 70% of the industry's profits, LED package about 10%~20%, LED applications about 10%~20%.

In the LED industry chain, due to the chip with epitaxial film (epitaxial film) of high technical requirements, the current Chinese market is very urgent need for the development of this area, especially high-quality epitaxial wafers, chips. At present, the Chinese market can be mass-produced chips and epitaxial film companies probably more than 10, which can produce epitaxial films accounted for about half. Due to the epitaxial wafer technology requirements are very high, the Chinese market a lot of chip manufacturers basically abroad and Taiwan to buy epitaxial wafers and then processed into chips. At present, China's market chip manufacturers generally have a large gap between the quality of foreign countries, especially the brightness, light efficiency of these two parameters. The 21 aspect, the Chinese market chips, epitaxial film production is very limited, although after the past two years, production has been a lot of growth, but it can only meet the needs of domestic packaging enterprises 20%~30%. With the rapid growth of LED applications, LED packaging factory on the demand for LED chips will be more urgent.

Chinese market LED package has been developed for a number of years, the gap between technology and foreign countries is not great, the Chinese market has reached the world's first LED packaging product output. At present, the development of LED is a large proportion of small power LED, but the profit has been greatly reduced compared with the previous years, the competition intensifies. High power in the past two years, strong momentum of development, the speed of development is quite fast, technical standards improved significantly. 07 years, the Chinese market LED packaging products can reach about 82 billion, the annual growth rate of about 30%~40%, the output value reached $16 billion 800 million.

It is understood that in 2007, China application production market has more than 30 billion yuan, has become the LED full-color display screen, solar LED landscape lighting application products the world's largest producer and exporter of semiconductor lighting industry is emerging. Chinese market has formed a certain characteristics in the field of lighting, the outdoor lighting is the fastest, there are hundreds of enterprises and the construction of LED Street dozens of demonstration Road, but China market in large size LCD backlight and automotive headlamp is still backward. LED display screen has been widely used in china. LED car lights are a large number of applications, including the highest technical requirements of the headlights this year, there may be a new breakthrough. LED backlight applied to LCD this year has reached the stage of practical application. LED street lights for 08 years may be a lot of input into the road lighting, LED general lighting concept will be more clear.
