After Japan, the United States will become the next super market for LED lighting industry

Although Japan’s LED bulbs shipments doubled in 2011, mainly due to the raising consciousness of energy-saving, the promoting speeded up among ordinary buyers. LED lamps have a much longer service life than incandescent bulbs, if used in ordinary families and 50 hours per week, a 40,000-hour LED lamp can maintain a normal work condition up to 10 years without any replacements.

From the standpoint of the U.S. lighting market, in 2012, local hydropower firms launched Rebate issues for LED bulbs, LED tubes and other LED lighting applications. Products must have Energy Star certification or DesignLight Consortium certification. Rebates can increase the purchasing desire of consumers, making them more willing to replace their old lighting devices with LED lamps. In fact LED lights provide them better lighting environment and save more power. Since 2012, the number of LED commercial lighting application makers inclined stably, causing the sharp price dropping. Plus the prosperous in the commercial building industry, LED lighting industry developed rapidly in the commercial area. On the other hand, the Lighting Design Alliance set out specifications and requirements for 4-foot tubes. As a result of the prosperity of LED lighting industry in the commercial area, the United States will become the next super market for LED lighting applications after Japan.

 

In the first half of 2012, the standard case progress of China’s LED lights was less as expected, mainly due to the undecided financial subsidy policies. Besides, the debt crisis exerted a bad influence on the global market, heavily hitting LED producers and exporters. Looking ahead to 2013, the financial subsidy standard case has been drawn by the three ministries. It is expected that from the end of 2012 to 2013, the China’s Government will allocated 1.6 billion yuan on LED lighting industry, which will eventually drive 4 billion yuan scale LED lighting market demand.

 

As lacking of local infrastructure, only large led tunnel light enterprises, like Philips and small LED manufactures would like to enter this emerging market. Project lighting matched with portable lighting applications. Energy generation and energy storage drove up and became new industries, meeting the humanities and environmental needs. In addition, how to change the situation of lacking of core technologies, get rid of low-level redundant construction is the crux of the problem faced by the LED lighting industry in China.
