LED lighting applications in lighting, in order to North America, Europe and China as the three main application areas. 2011 North America was the largest proportion in LED lighting industry: 34.5%, China ranked second: 30%, then 26% in Europe, Other regions accounted for 9.4%. 2012 North America will be still the largest market, accounting for up to 33.2%.
Other regional countries such as Japan, the government policy support by the 311 earthquake and the after effects of the end consumer it is growing emphasis on energy-saving lighting of choice, accounting for 2012 is expected to increase.
Substantial growth in other regions under the influence, Chinese accounted for overall performance will decline, is forecast to be 27.7%. 26.4% in Europe. Other regions accounted for the increase to 12.6%.
Development of the world’s LED lighting market
Global LED lighting industry is divided into: LED lighting applications, LED modules and LED components. End module include: Thermal management, optical module and the drive module.From the component side it can be divided into standard, high power, high-current and multi-die package. LED lighting is constituted the light source, control system, the external structure in order to achieve light body light and protection purposes, and provide light body of the power supply.In addition, the lighting also has to prevent glare, and as decoration and light point to other functions.
LED lighting products can be divided into 2 categories: LED lights and LED Replacement lighting source.NO replace the lamp is the principle of LED Replacement Lamps. It only replace the internal light source. Currently, there are 4 types of LED Replacement lighting source: FL (straight tube), PAR lamps, MR-16 and A-lamp (bulb type). Products according to different application domains of different field types, Including construction, retail, consumer portable, indoor lighting, residential, commercial, outdoor lighting, off-grid lighting and emergency lighting.
Global LED lighting market continues to grow, 2012 the global LED lighting industry market size will reach $ 50 billion, it growing 46% over 2009, 2012 will reach $ 7.1 billion. 2012 the energy issues will be continued attention, Search better alternative light source luminous efficiency is inevitable trend, LED lighting market is still expected to continue growing.The market is estimated reach $ 7.1 billion.Luminous efficiency of LED components, the price dropped to close to traditional light sources, the overall design of lighting to mature, they become the second choice.LED lighting is expected to continue to enhance the penetration rate, Expected by 2015 the global LED lighting market will reach $ 21.7 billion.
the world’s LED lighting market industry trends
Development of LED lighting has become a focus of much attention. Industry Trends can explored from the components, products, design and access. point out the following: (1)the LED lighting source-LED bulbs will growing rapidly into the mainstream; (2)Promoting LED lighting to end, pathway layout is facing serious challenges. (3)The lighting design into human factors engineering, Expectation from the demand side designed to meet the physical and psychological needs of consumers of lighting products; (4)The component-side light-emitting efficiency and price decline, Lighting prices can’t make people to fear any more. (5)The implementation of the policy of disabled incandescent bulbs, will drive the business in 2012.
Various countries disable policy of the world’s LED lighting market
Incandescent light bulbs lighting was the world’s most widely used light source before, Market share high as 70%. But the luminous efficiency is only 8 ~ 20lm / W, And the overall lighting system efficiency is only about 50lm / W. Since 2007, Countries were made planning of replace incandescent bulbs. Hope to find the better lighting source. Lighting and human lives, In countries policy driven by incandescent lamp cut-off, lock and disable. Alternative light source selection all the more urgent, also contributed to the LED-based light bulb there is a growing import market opportunities.
Technical upgrading and cost reduction, the world’s LED lighting market is no longer unattainable price
the world’s LED lighting market has always been a goal : Pursuit of the component costs and manufacturing costs, In addition to light-emitting efficiency to drive down prices per thousand lumens, Every aspect of the manufacturing process: Epitaxy, Package and Module side, all need to enhance yield improvement through the process or materials. In the end, overall manufacturing costs.
Reference to the U.S. DOE announced Solid-state lighting development annual plan in May 2011: Either cool white or warm white LED components from mid-2009, the end of 2009, the end of 2010 and several time points of the future. The luminous efficiency will be improved and costs will continue to decline along. Cool white LED has been developed to 134lm / w at the end of 2010; Warm white LED light is improved the efficiency of 96lm / w at the end of 2010. And future development goals, 2015, DOE proposed components of the cold white LED luminous efficiency to 224lm / w, warm luminous efficiency compared to white 202lm / w.
Access to terminals in the world’s LED lighting market and face fierce price competition on the market challenges. LED lighting technology will gradually perfect, Eneltec-LED such top quality LED products will have more competitive advantage.
