Siemens subsidiary Osram LED lighting giant, second only to Philips in the size of the global lighting industry. LED lighting sales in Germany,2010-2016’s estimated to grow by 25 percent, which will drive demand for semiconductors. Europe as a whole, the two types of semiconductors for automotive and industrial last year’s fastest-growing, the extent of 7.3% and 5.2%, the needs of both are from Germany.
Germany in the automotive semiconductor LED Lighting market growth, which play an important role in the global LED Lighting market growth share of 1/4. According to experts, Jonathan Schoo of the Trade and investment institutions set up by the German government pointed out that, compared with Asia or the United States, the German semiconductor LED Lighting market growth more diverse, automotive and industrial semiconductor with outstanding performance, the growth of promising LED lighting. The auto industry arranged 37% of semiconductor sales in Germany last year accounted for 24% of industrial applications, data technology (server / IT network) accounted for 27%, communications, consumer electronics, only accounting for 9%, 3%.
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced the 2012 “solid-state lighting (Solid-State Lighting) in the general lighting applications, energy-saving potential,” the report displays the contents of 2030 the popularity of LED lighting such as LED streetlight can save nearly half of energy consumption; terms of lumens -hours (lumen-hours) to calculate the 2020 LED lighting in the general application of LED Lighting market growth penetration will reach 36 percent, and climbed to 74 percent in 2030.
