Infrared LED industry annual output growth of 20%

Asia infrared LED industry with rising demand is expected to increase this year, especially from household appliances, telecommunications, PC and peripheral equipment, safety and medical equipment application. Manufacturers either build new plants or buy new equipment to expand production capacity. With the expansion of production capacity, production is expected to grow by 20% this year. In Chinese,, about 50 suppliers of infrared LED. Zhu, general manager of Jiangmen overseas Chinese Optoelectronic Equipment Factory, said Yi-wu, mainly from the rapid growth in demand for security products, compared with the same period last year, the output figures, we expect 100% of the output growth. Sales growth was 30% higher than last year. In order to meet rising demand, we will install additional automated production lines to increase production capacity.

Other manufacturers, which have expanded their production capacity in the past year and maintain their current productivity. For example, Hongkong science and Technology Co., Ltd. LED monthly production of 39 million units, infrared LED accounted for 5% of the total.
