PIDA:LED industry downturn, land plants to maintain better growth momentum

Taiwan Optoelectronics Association (PIDA) said today (2015) in the first half of the Taiwan LED component industry into the economy during the period of Anti Japanese War, by the first half of the large size of global terminal laptops and TV LED backlight demand, and LED lighting bulb factory brand have taken the lead to kill the terminal price effect, the global LED component manufacturers revenue and profit greatly reduced pressure. The Taiwan LED Lei wafer, the grain can not be spared, the first half of the output value of about 19 billion 800 million yuan, nearly 20% decline, while the package, module output value of up to $44 billion 900 million, barely keep steady, only slightly decline. In addition, PIDA is also expected to look around the world this year, the regional market, in addition to mainland China LED manufacturers can maintain a good growth momentum, at this stage most of the rest of the region can not escape the 10-20% recession dilemma. PIDA pointed out that the first half of this year before the ten LED EPI wafer, grain companies revenue and profit, in addition to leading crystal power plant (2448) and canyuan synergy has not yet demonstrated, other companies have also faced increased losses in total pressure, the top ten manufacturers revenue decline 9% over the same period, from surplus to a loss of 89 million yuan 1 billion 130 million yuan; revenue and profit for the first half of this year before the ten LED package, module manufacturers, total ten camp received only a slight decline, but the overall profit from 1 billion 850 million yuan to 1 billion 80 million yuan. PIDA said that the past LED growth element dual engine backlight and lighting applications, this year are subject to no small challenge, it was expected that display backlight LED permeability to top and high resolution panel can be slightly offset amount of LED element increased brightness per unit area and reduce the usage of LED, but the large size liquid crystal display in the final sales difficult improvement; and LED lighting for the global lighting lighting brands take the lead in the bargain, although high can stimulate the LED bulb permeability, but also let the upstream element price pressure increased; besides, LED manufacturers expected Chinese can maintain good growth momentum, at this stage most of the rest of the world to escape the recession of 10-20%.
