Environmental awareness drives the global LED lighting popularization
As the global average temperature is gradually increasing and the PM2.5 air pollution problem is becoming more and more serious, governments of various countries are looking for more environmentally friendly power generation methods. They are also actively promoting various energy-saving subsidy measures to encourage people to replace high-power traditional light bulbs with LED lighting equipment. Reduce the consumption of natural energy. For example, the Global Climate Conference COP21 held in Paris, France at the end of 2015 focused on topics such as reducing global carbon dioxide emissions and creating a green energy environment. Major energy-consuming countries such as the United States, India, and the mainland have announced that they will actively promote the installation of LED lamps. , Is expected to drive sales of up to 10 billion LED bulbs.
According to the global LED lighting market trend research report released by LEDinside, the LED lighting market in 2015 was 25.7 billion U.S. dollars, and the market penetration rate reached 31%. Driven by the falling prices of LED lighting fixtures, the market output value in 2016 is expected to exceed 30 billion U.S. dollars. The mark, as for the market penetration rate will reach 36%.

Huang Mengjiao, an industry analyst from the IEK Green Energy Industry Research Department, believes that under the continuous evolution of LED lighting technology, the problem of insufficient luminous efficiency in the past has achieved major breakthroughs, and the continuous bottoming of the price of terminal products has also made LED lamps a new trend in the consumer market. A generation of light sources. Although the global economic growth has slowed down significantly in 2016, which may affect the popularity of LED lamps, with the support of energy policies in emerging countries, the penetration rate of the LED lighting market is expected to hit a new high of 48% in 2019.
Wu Yingjie, deputy manager of the LEDinside Research Center, pointed out that the energy subsidy policies that governments continue to promote are indeed the main reason for the rapid increase in the penetration rate of LED lamps. However, because products have fallen into the Red Sea market of price-cutting competition, many lighting companies have begun to shift their focus to higher gross profit High professional lighting fields, such as industrial lighting, commercial lighting, architectural lighting, etc. And smart lighting combined with sensing components will also be a battleground for all major manufacturers.
European and American markets focus on professional lighting ASEAN countries focus on public construction
Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries that paid attention to green energy issues earlier, under the government's efforts to educate and promote energy-saving policies, most people are more willing to buy LED lamps, so the penetration rate is much higher than the global market. According to statistics, the penetration rate of the Japanese household LED lighting market has reached more than 85%, and it is one of the countries that promote LED lighting at the fastest speed in the world. The Japanese government even further plans to change all residential lighting to The goal of LED lamps.
In the US market, according to the 2015 survey report released by Osram, about 66% of American households have bought LED lamps, and most consumers have indicated that they will continue to buy related products in the future. Therefore, most experts are optimistically predicting that although the overall sales volume of LED lamps is still less than half of the traditional energy-saving bulbs, the gap between the two has been greatly narrowed. Driven by the falling prices of LED lamps, the overall shipment volume is expected to surpass in recent years. Power saving bulb. The US state government has also introduced LED lamps very quickly. For example, Binghamton, New York, is expected to invest US$4 million to replace 7,000 traditional street lamps with LED street lamps in early 2016 in order to reduce natural energy consumption.
Compared with advanced countries, the Southeast Asian market, which has amazing economic growth, is a new market coveted by the LED industry. The lighting market in Southeast Asia reached US$4.8 billion in 2015, of which the scale of LED lighting was about US$1.5 billion. In particular, driven by the government's vigorous promotion of public construction and policy subsidies, the average growth rate in recent years has reached more than 30%, becoming the world's most developed Potential area. For example, the Indian government plans to purchase up to 770 million LED bulbs by 2018, replace street lights in 100 cities with LED lamps to reduce the power load of 20,000 megawatts, and encourage international lighting manufacturers to establish joint ventures with Indian lighting factories. Set up factories, hoping to reduce procurement costs and create more job opportunities.
It is worth noting that after the ASEAN Economic Community is formally established, member states will adopt the same set of electronic equipment inspection standards, that is, electronic products only need to obtain the safety certification issued by a certain member Sales in the community greatly reduce the barriers for international lighting manufacturers to enter the Southeast Asian market, and it is also an excellent opportunity for Taiwanese LED lighting manufacturers to expand their export markets.
