CSA forecast: China's average annual growth rate of GaN class LED output reached 59%2010 years will surpass Japan

[BP] the Nikkei news agency reported China national semiconductor lighting engineering research and Industry Alliance (CSA) Wu Ling China LED market trends, in November 2007 26 ~ LED related discussions held on 30 "First International Conference on White LEDs and Solid State Lighting (White LEDs-07)" published a speech. Wu Ling said that China's LED market continues to expand, in 2006 reached 14 billion 600 million yuan. 1997 to 2006, the average annual growth rate of up to 29%. The market will continue to expand in the future, is expected to reach 32 billion yuan in 2010.

Support the development of China's LED market is called high brightness LED varieties. The variety in 2002 to 2006, the average annual growth rate is higher, reaching 35%, in 2006 the size of the high brightness LED market is $9 billion. High brightness LED, 40% of the application of the back light source.

Wu Ling said that while expanding the Chinese LED market, the technical capabilities of China's LED manufacturers are also increasing, therefore, in the Chinese market, the proportion of domestic LED is gradually expanding. Although in the 2002 stage also basically rely on imports, but by the year 2006, the proportion of domestic LED market in China reached 43.9%.

From the blue LED and white LED and other high value-added varieties of class LED GaN, China's domestic ratio in 2006 was 30%. Supply GaN LED Chinese is the scale of production has increased year by year, from the month 65 million expanded to 600 million a month in 2006 2003 to 2010, is expected to reach 1 billion 650 million per month, more than Japan, become the world's second largest producer of GaN LED.
