Market Report: September 14, 2009
- Continuing the trend of recent years, high-brightness LED market growth for 2008 was 11%, reaching $5.1 billion, in spite of a shaky fourth quarter.
- However, a decline of 3.7% is expected for 2009, resulting in a market size of $4.9 billion.
This decline will not affect all HB LED market segments equally. For example, although some of the more mature markets such as automotive lighting, mobile phones, and outdoor video screens are experiencing substan tial downturns, other emerging segments such as backlights for LCD displays in notebook computers and TVs are showing strong growth.
- Moreover, the LED lighting market is also continuing to grow, although at a somewhat slower pace than in recent years.
According to market research firm Strategies Unlimited in its recently released report High-Brightness LED Market Review and Forecast - 2009, lighting and LCD backlighting are the applications that will drive market reco very in 2010 and over the next five years, with market growth forecast at a CAGR of 24%, reaching $14.9 billion in 2013.
In all market segments, the penetration rates for the use
of HB LEDs
continue to grow.
The fundamental drivers for HB LED adoption have not
changed. It is the impact of the worldwide economic recession on end
product demand, rather than any slowdown in the rate of HB LED
adoption, that is causing the HB LED market to dip in 2009.
As noted above, lighting and LCD backlighting are providing strong counterweights to the decline in other segments, and they have moderated the rate of overall HB LED market contraction.
The new Strategies Unlimited report is the tenth from the company on LED applications and markets. It analyzes the HB LED market in depth, from both the demand side and the supply side, including supplier market shares. Detailed quantitative market analysis is provided, including breakouts by application and product type, in terms of units, ASPs and revenue. Five-year market forecasts are provided for each application and HB LED product type.
