2014 is a key year for the development of LED lighting

2013 for the LED lighting industry, can be described as a year of great significance journey . After after the investment boom , the price war , closures , integration tide , LED lighting market is gradually entering the rational development stage. Currently, the global "forbidden white" one after another and the growing movement to stimulate market demand , a positive surging tide of incoming replacing lamps . In this battle of traditional lighting " is revolution" in , LED will undoubtedly become the biggest beneficiary.

Under the increasing market demand, in 2013 became the first year of full-blown LED lighting , and 2014 is the key year for the development of LED lighting in the upcoming 2014 , industry insiders have forecast , LED lighting industry will usher new outbreak .

Prices continue to decline , demand will surge lighting

The past two years , the global lighting market began to show "no white" effect , but by the upstream chip technology to enhance the impact of the rapid decline and price gap between LED lighting and traditional lighting products narrowing between the upstream and downstream LED lighting products prices has become an indisputable implemented. Currently, the price of LED lighting products is growing at an annual rate of about 20 percent decline in many areas , whether or replace 40W LED Bulb 60W minimum price have been even less than $ 10 , gradually approaching the price of traditional energy-saving lamps .

According to global research agency statistics , in October 2013 to replace 40W LED products worldwide prices fell more significant part of the regional brand lamps have the lowest prices fell below $ 10 , and the gap between different regions of the product price is gradually narrowing. Especially in the UK , showed 11 percent fell sharply. Part of the original high-priced items prices, low-cost items will continue to decline . Osram, Samsung , LG and other brands are near or below $ 10 products sold in the United Kingdom area. The region replaces 40W commodity lowest price now reached $ 8.1. In the U.S. region , except CREE, Wal-Mart recently launched low-cost light bulbs , the Philips , Ecosmart also have been less than $ 10 products to sell. The region replaces 40W commodity prices have been under the current minimum kill to $ 9 .

Currently, the global LED lighting products are varying degrees of speed gradually declined , the impact LED product prices, pushing prices there are two main factors : First, the LED technology to enhance the production costs can be lowered. In recent years , LED upstream chips huge investment , the current chip prices have dropped 30% in 2010 . While the new technology are endless , PhilipsLumileds, Toshiba, TSMC Solid State Lighting , Epistar and Formosa Epitaxy No products have been launched packaged chip , and become the future face of price pressures LED powerful weapon . The second aspect is because the prospects of LED lighting attracts huge influx of many of the capital, making the increasingly fierce competition in the market "price" have become an important means of competition LED enterprises. In addition , Philips , Panasonic , CREE LED and other international giants join further provoked the "price war" International LED brands.

Related research center that , thanks to the gradual decline of the middle reaches of the price advantage, the 2014 average global LED lighting products decreased space still expected 2013-2014 China LED indoor lighting products prices fell an average of about 20%, LED lighting market is expected to usher in a new round of strong eruptions. In the past, in the lighting market, with the lowest penetration of home lighting , it is because the price is too high over the last LED lighting products , home facelift often take years to recovery, but now with the LED bulb price , governments continue to ban incandescent , coupled with the overall global economic recovery , LED lighting will contribute to the fermentation , the projected demand in 2014 LED lighting market will have a more substantial growth. Meanwhile , the price decline will accelerate industry consolidation and survival of the fittest , forcing companies to reduce costs, strengthen management, optimize resources , integrated supply chain , enhance its competitiveness to meet the outbreak of the market.

Beyond backlighting, LED lighting became in 2014 the first major application

According to the latest market report released by global market research firm pointed out that as a huge opportunity to see the LED lighting industry , the global LED lighting manufacturers to enter the field have accelerated the pace of LED lighting products terminal sales caused rapid price decline steadily growing consumer acceptance . 2013 China LED lighting market in the commercial , home , industrial and outdoor lighting respectively with 24% , 96%, 28% and 46% of the growing strength and began to walk into millions of households.

Rapid decline in the price of LED lighting products directly affect the terminal market penetration. Currently, the global LED lighting market penetration is rapidly improving . LED lighting is estimated 2014 market value of $ 35.3 billion , representing a growth of 47.8 percent in 2013 , while the estimated 2014 LED lighting penetration rate will increase from 8 % to 10 % this year to 32.7 percent, and the lamp bulb penetration rate will reach 20 % and 15 % respectively.

In the application of the types of products to the growth rate of alternative products, the most obvious source , bulb and lamp are most welcomed by the market to replace the light source type , accounting for 38 % and 25% in 2013 , respectively, LED lighting products . Future , integrated LED lighting product types demand will gradually rise , especially in conjunction with intelligent lighting applications products, will usher in a very broad market space.

In countries around the world strongly support the requirements of energy saving and good social policy , and now , LED lighting products have begun to gradually replace traditional lighting products. Especially in the household LED bulb , the international multi- channel active major manufacturers layout, stores, supermarkets, specialty stores and other channels everywhere LED figure. It is reported that recently started a lot of the IKEA LED Bulb Distribution to the pathway. In addition, traditional lighting manufacturers such as Philips LED lighting compared to the attitude of the past have become more active . Therefore, the industry is expected , driven by major lighting brands and terminal pathway shipment growth rate in 2014 the number of LED bulb will be very substantial.

Taiwan's Epistar chairman Bingjie said , LED lighting this year will exceed 10% penetration rate is expected to double next year will be presented , and a 20% penetration point , so next year LED substantive contribution to the lighting industry will be more significant. Meanwhile , Everlight chairman Yeyin Fu also pointed out that lower prices benefit from LED , green energy considerations , as well as government policy of subsidies , LED lighting needs rapid increase permeability faster than expected , expected by 2014, will exceed the display and lighting LED backlighting became the first major applications.

Policy , backed by the influx of a new round of calls for gradually replaced from

With the global moratorium after another sport incandescent , LED tide voice gradually replaced since 2013 the global lighting market is an important trend in alternative lighting products with rapid price decline , bringing the global LED lighting products to replace the tide .

In China the world's great powers LED applications , from 2012 , the state issued the " phasing out incandescent roadmap" decision from October 1, 2012 to gradually ban the import and sale of ordinary incandescent lighting . Into 2013 , the Chinese government further support for the LED industry , the State Council " on accelerating the development of energy-saving environmental protection industry view" and six ministries, " semiconductor lighting energy industry plan" were introduced, clear LED lighting an important role in energy conservation in . In addition, the Chinese government is working through subsidies, play an active role to promote the development of LED lighting industry.

In European markets, from 2014 onwards , European countries began phasing out the civilian market , the largest amount of 40-60W incandescent bulbs, as the popularity of LED lighting products provide a favorable opportunity. It will also stimulate the global LED lighting manufacturers to accelerate the pace of LED lighting layout , further pushing up the global LED lighting penetration. U.S. government efforts to support LED lighting is gradually increasing, and so the number of subsidized Energy Star lighting is growing rapidly , prompting further reduce the price of LED lamps . CREE and other manufacturers are optimistic about 2014 LED lighting market development , and sales growth is expected to become the replacement of lamps next business growth priorities. In Europe, the market is relatively mature , although did not see massive subsidies, but its high price and the difference in light culture , making commercial lighting and outdoor architectural lighting applications persistent situational demands . The impact of the next few years with a total ban on incandescent light bulbs policies fermentation, estimates the market will continue to show steady growth.

As the field of industrial power LED , LED industry in Japan in promoting world development process also played a very important role. As early as 14 years ago, Japan has started to promote the development of semiconductor lighting technology and industrialization of the "21st Century Light Plan" is one of the oldest countries in the world started to support the LED industry policy. In recent years, the Japanese government support , LED lighting industry is growing rapidly. Meanwhile, Japan domestic energy awareness is high , especially after the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred more than two years ago , the Government proposed a "low carbon society" ( carbon reduction ) targets. Including LED lighting products at a rapid pace popularity , becoming energy-saving products representative.

In addition, the LED in emerging markets such as Brazil , India, Vietnam , Russia and other countries and regions, also unveiled a variety of planning and draft , support the development of LED lighting industry. These areas demand for LED lighting products showed a clear upward trend , LED lighting market is showing rapid growth, especially in the LED public lighting and commercial lighting market is more obvious .

In the future , a large number of LED lighting market demand will be released. On the one hand , favorable policies to support and rapid decline in product prices have directly led to the rapid growth of the LED lighting market , but on the other hand , there still exists the LED lighting industry overcapacity, fierce price war , rising costs, construction input channels plus and a series of problems, while income increased profits embarrassment difficult dilemma also facing the development bottleneck of some listed companies . LED lighting in the coming era of the early , LED lighting companies how to break through these issues become the focus of attention.(More information please visit www.greendyled.com)
