PIDA: the next few years the global LED street market growth momentum strong

According to LED's statistics, 08 annual global LED lighting market size of about 910 thousand, the mainland is about 450 thousand light device demand, accounting for nearly 50% of the total number of the global system, while the global output of 08 LED lights up to about 1 billion dollars; the other Photoelectric Technology Industry Association (PIDA) is assessed from 2008 to until 2012, the global LED street value compound annual growth rate will reach 15%, forecast to 2012, the annual output value will be 4.5 times the current of the display, the next few years around the world LED street market growth momentum will be very strong.

PIDA pointed out that in 8 meters to 10 meters wide, the installation of the street as an example, although the LED street lamp device cost for the general high pressure sodium lamp 3 times to 4 times, but from the point of power consumption, the same emission period needed for the per unit cost of power consumption, LED Street is only three square HPS lamps one to 1/4, really deep energy-saving effect, this trend estimate, because the device can save a lot of LED lights, electricity and maintenance costs only about half of high pressure sodium lamp, so the previous relatively high cost of the device will be available in the next 4 years after complete recovery.

The global market size of about 07 years the whole street has 160 million lights, the number of mainland equipment accounted for 17 million of the light, so the PIDA is expected to accelerate in the process, the rise of LED street in the mainland will be the world's largest market for LED street lamp, estimate the annual output 08 is $560 million, but also good the next 3 years, the global market will begin large-scale popularization of LED lamp acceleration.

As in the general lighting market research agency, according to statistics, the global market value of 08 years the main lighting (including lamp module) of up to $42 billion, and the next few years will maintain steady growth in single digit growth pace. PIDA is expected, LED lighting application of 40% power of the traditional lighting lamps, along with the LED itself, continuing to enhance the luminous efficiency to 150 lumens per watt level, to 2015, solid state lighting application of LED lighting technology mainly, its permeability will have the opportunity to officially climbed to more than 10%, and accelerated take-off in general indoor lighting market.

Semiconductor solid-state lighting industry reference (Solid State Light; referred to as SSL), at this stage mainly refers to LED lighting applications, the other is including OLED, PLED (polymer light-emitting diodes) have applied luminous efficacy. EPISTAR R & D director Lv Zhiqiang pointed out that the crystal in high power LED products on the luminous efficiency of 100 lumens per watt, existing technical strength, and the present laboratory technical progress and not much difference, from the current LED industry in the development of lighting application process, should is very exciting, LED lighting is a step by step replace the high-pressure sodium lamp, involved in the general lighting market will point the day and await for it is.

According to the development target of the U. S. Department of energy, the Department hopes in 2015 will increase to the semiconductor lighting luminous efficiency of 150 lumens per watt, and in 2020 to further promote to 200 lumens per watt level, will be expected to fully realize the LED into the terminal lighting application of vision, so that it can keep the fourth generation lighting market mainstream technology.
