Japan’s largest LED picture lighting manufacturers, Matsushita Electric (Panasonic), decided this year to a major organizational transformation, downstream of the Panasonic Lighting Company merged with the lighting department of the Matsushita Electric Lighting Business Group. Matsushita Electric Works, said the reorganization, the fight for the 2012 annual sales of 35 billion yen, Japanese sales of 25 billion yen, overseas for 10 billion yen. 2015 annual sales will reach 100 billion yen, of which, LED lighting will account for 40% LED picture lighting market share in mainland Japan.
