LED industry recovery is difficult to reproduce the explosive growth this year

ITRI ​​Taiwan LED industry faced in the recently held low-cost trend seminar pointed out that the LED industry this year, the recovery trend established, but as the price decline is still high, the LED plant profit margins are still subject to compression.

    Guo Zi Ling, an analyst at the Industrial Technology Research Institute of Industrial Economics and Knowledge Center (IEK), LED industry is difficult to re-appear in the low-cost trend, the explosive growth of the Taiwan plant should should take economies of scale to make up for the lack of energy, and at the same time with the brand Factory cooperation open to the sea, as well as break through plowing emerging markets.

    Observed global LED lighting market, ITRI IEK, the overall size of the market last year, less than $ 10 billion, the size of the market in 2020 will be about $ 79 billion, 2011-2016 compound annual growth rate of 45%, but with the proportion of increased life light source is expected that the market will be saturated in 2015, the slowdown in 2016-2020, compared with the LED light source market matures, the lamps on the market towards the development of digital and intelligent, accounting for the lighting market will gradually move up, estimated to LED lighting market is expected to reach $ 58 billion in 2020.
