subject: High Brightness Light Emitting Diodes (HB-LEDs) Global Market Forecast & Analysis 2009-2015 [print this page]
This is the forecast of global market consumption of packaged high brightness light emitting diodes (HB-LEDs), also known as component-level bulbs.
The light emitting diode (LED) market, despite exciting innovative devices driven by technological advances and ecological/energy-saving concerns, still face challenges in overcoming performance/price limitations and in attracting widespread consumption. The use of LEDs in solid-state lighting (SSL) general lighting is increasing, initiating from government-based retrofitting projects then to commercial/business and eventually to the consumer-level.
High Brightness (HB) LEDs, for the purpose of this study, are component-level bulbs with a lumens/Watt rating of 30 lm/W and above, face the challenge of creating definitive positions in the illumination market, as competing lighting solutions are readily available and accepted. While this does not limit the potential success of HB-LEDs, it does create some challenges. This report provides an independent examination and analysis of the changing market dynamics for various types of HB-LEDs used in selected applications.
The market forecast (2009-2015) is presented for High Brightness LEDs, segmented by Lumens:
30 to 70 Lumen/Watt (lm/W)
Over (>) 70 Lumen/Watt (lm/W)
The HB-LED market forecast data are also segmented by the following functions:
Consumption Value (US$, million)
Quantity (number/units)
Average Selling Prices (ASP $, each)
The consumption value is determined by multiplying the number of units by the average selling price. The average selling prices are based on the price of the component-level LED bulbs at the initial factory level. The consumption values are based on the end-user application and the end-user region.
The market data are segmented into the following geographic regions, plus a Global summary:
The Americas (North America, Central and South America)
EMEA (Europe, Middle Eastern countries, plus Africa)
APAC (Asia Pacific)
The global HB-LED market is segmented into the following major application categories:
Mobile/Portable Devices
Signage/Professional Displays
Solid-State Lighting/Illumination
Signals
Automotive/Vehicle
Other/Miscellaneous
The market data for HB-LEDs (component-level LED bulbs) are also segmented by the following colors (type):
Red-Green-Blue (RGB) multiple chip
Red-Orange-Yellow (ROY)
Blue-Green, UV and Other
White (WLED)
The global HB-LED consumption in 2009 was nearly $4.9 billion. In the year 2015, the worldwide consumption value is forecasted to reach $15.03 billion. The Asia Pacific region (APAC) led in global consumption in 2009. The Americas region (South, Central and North America) consumption will expand in value to over $5.0 billion in 2015. The Europe, Middle East and African region (EMEA) represented a 20 percent share of global HB-LED consumption value in 2009.
