Global LED lighting in 2012 amounted to $1 billion 300 million

The government banned incandescent lamp schedule announced, according to LEDinside, the effect of lighting products will gradually update the fermentation in 2010 to 2012, 2012 LED lighting industry compound annual growth rate will reach 33%, the market scale will reach $1 billion 300 million. With the improvement of LED luminous efficiency, as well as lower costs, the future of LED lighting will gradually cut into the field of indoor lighting and street lighting.

The main light source in the world is still dominated by incandescent lamp. However, although the price is low but the incandescent lamp, the luminous efficiency is poor, is not consistent with the trend of environmental protection and energy saving at present, governments began to adopt a policy phasing out of incandescent bulbs, accelerate other efficient light source to replace incandescent bulbs.

Interestingly, sales of incandescent bulbs increased in 2008 as governments began to ban incandescent bulbs. LEDinside pointed out that the main reason is that the economic situation is not good, the rate of decline in new housing starts, the public to repair the way to replace the replacement price higher energy-saving lamps. In addition, before people in parts of Europe and the United States banned the sale of incandescent bulbs, began hoarding incandescent bulbs, the incandescent lamp shipments contrarian growth.

Compared to other energy saving light bulb shipments as expected, the high price of LED lights in 2008 shipments are also synchronized with the growth of incandescent bulbs. The main reason, in addition to the relatively low initial period, LED bulbs also replaced some of the traditional light source.

For example, due to the LED light source has directivity, and the color is good, so successfully cut into the market in the projection, display purposes of the PAR lamp market. In addition, LED color can be a variety of changes, so although the price is not cheap, but the acceptance of the building landscape lighting market is also very high.

Although the penetration of LED in the field of lighting gradually increased, but still the majority of commercial space lighting purposes, LEDinside pointed out that the high cost of LED is still the biggest obstacle to enter the field of lighting.

With the improvement of LED luminous efficiency, as well as the cost of decline, LED will be in 2010, gradually cut into the field of indoor lighting, outdoor lighting and the market. LEDinside estimates that by 2012, LED lighting up to about $1 billion 300 million, the annual growth rate of up to 33%.
