LED lighting market and Outlook

Today, the global economic growth and lifestyle change led lighting needs, North America is the regional global lighting consumption the most, while Europe and the United States for the lighting demand growth slowed, but the rapid growth of demand in emerging economies, especially in Asia, China become global demand growth rate was the highest in the country. Global lighting market is expected to grow to $132 billion in 2011, commercial lighting as the main application market.

In 2005, the total electricity consumption of global commercial lighting was 1133 trillion degrees, accounting for about 30% of the total electricity consumption in the commercial market, accounting for about 43% of the total electricity consumption. The retail, office buildings, storage purposes, educational buildings and other building facilities together accounted for 70% of the total electricity consumption of commercial lighting.

2005 road lighting output value of about 6 billion 500 million euros, sodium lamp is still the main light source for outdoor lighting accounted for 62%, but there are still three of the energy consumption of mercury lamps.

Overall, the lighting industry is characterized by low concentration. In the light source, the high degree of standardization, high technology level, several large companies GE, OSRAM, Philips and other leading global markets; in lamps, its high degree of customization, with regional demand, industry concentration is low.

Ten the current application market of LED lighting for building decoration, retail display, portable lighting, stage entertainment lighting, mechanical display, signage, indoor lighting, outdoor lighting, emergency lighting, off grid lighting.

2007 global high brightness LED output value of $4 billion 600 million, the average growth rate of the next five years is expected to reach $11 billion 400 million in 2012 to $34%. High brightness LED products in the application of mobile phone applications continue to decline, the future of the three major applications in the order of billboard / display, lighting and automotive. Highlights the high concentration of LED industry in the world, in 2007, Nichia, Osram, Citizen, StanELy, Lumileds five manufacturers market share of about 56%. The international LED light source manufacturers have been through patent licensing and vertical integration and expand its market territory.

2007 White LED market share of 50%. Building lighting and consumer portable lighting market grew rapidly, white light demand growth, market share of 50%. The appearance of the building, such as the emergence of new applications such as bright light and flashlight and other portable lighting demand continued to grow is the main driving force.

High power LED market in a bright (HB) in the LED share exceeded 50%, high power LED lighting applications for the mainstream market, the reason is the lighting demand growing, but the balance of high luminous flux and uniformity is a need to further improve the problem. Building lighting is still the main market for high power LED, white LED luminous flux and luminous efficiency, including garden lights, searchlights, step lights, balcony lights, such as the rapid growth of the use of LED. At the same time, some emerging markets have begun to develop, including retail display, residential lighting market relatively high growth, and alternative markets began to appear.

2007 LED lighting market grew by 60%, reaching $330 million, of which Asia is driving the growth of market demand. While the market continues to grow, manufacturers continue to join. In general, LED lighting market size is still relatively small, is still a niche market pattern is the main feature of various small, light application market is still the mainstream, but the white light application of rapid growth, which is mainly used in building lighting market, rising demand for high power LED.

Looking to the future of the LED lighting market, the global market share increased from 2% in 2007 to $11% in 2012. As energy saving and emission reduction has become a global issue, while rising energy prices, while the traditional light source technology is growing slowly, facing bottlenecks. In contrast, LED technology continues to progress, the cost continues to decline, LED into the lighting of the long-term market barriers are not large, the future of building lighting and commercial lighting will be the main market.
