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,
