to purchase. Please sign in if you wish to continue. From 2011 to 2013, global LED production value will rise by at least 25% every year, driven by the rise of LED TV applications and the trend of LED lighting starting to replace conventional lighting. This DIGITIMES Research Special Report provides an extensive overview of the highbrightness LED market, including a breakdown of the LED TV supply chain in Taiwan, Korea, Japan and China, an overview of government LED lighting policies by region, and a timeline for the transition to LEDs in the global lighting market. Abstract LED production value is projected to reach US$8.25 billion in 2010, up 55.6% from a year ago on the rapid growth of the LED TV segment. LED TV shipments in 2010 are estimated to increase 10-fold on year from 2009 to 37.20 million units. From 2011 to 2013, global LED production value will rise by at least 25% every year. In addition to the rise of LED TV applications, LED lighting will begin to replace conventional lighting technology in the market. However, while LED lighting's luminous efficiency is currently comparable to that of fluorescent lamps, LED lamps remain unpopular mainly because of their high costs. Obviously, high costs make it difficult to adopt LED lighting unless governments offer subsidies or consumers realize that total costs for LED lighting may not be higher if its power savings, longer service life, lower carbon emissions and other advantages are taken into consideration.

Power electronics represent a $20 billion devices market, split into 4 major semiconductor technologies. There are over 350 major power electronics semiconductor manufacturing sites around the world. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120820/CG59713-INFO) Having up-to-date details for these markets is absolutely vital to any business, investor, product manager, marketer, buyer, or regulator involved in any of these sectors. Best-in-class premium research from Yole Dveloppement keeps readers abreast of the developments that shape these industries. Now, GII is pleased to offer select prepublication discounts on Yole Dveloppement reports, due out this month. Growth of the LED industry has been concentrated in small display applications, and has more generally been driven forward by LCD displays. LED TVs were expected to be the LED industry driver for 2011, but the reality was quite different: lower adoption of LEDs in the TV market and the entry of several new players, mostly from Asia, created a climate of overcapacity, price pressure and strong competition. As a consequence, packaged LED volume was about 30% lower than expected and revenue shrank due to strong ASP pressure. In 2012, most companies have moved to the new "El Dorado" the of LED business: general lighting, which represents the next "killer application" for LEDs. However, enabling massive adoption of the technology for such an application still requires a large decrease in the cost of LED-based products. New forecast data from GII partner publisher Yole Dveloppement estimates the market for packaged LED will reach $11.4 billion in 2012, and will peak to $17.1 billion by 2018. Growth will be driven both by the Display (LCD TV) and General Lighting applications until massive adoption of LEDs in lighting. From 2014, the third growth cycle of the LED business will accelerate with the General Lighting application representing more than 50% of the overall packaged LED business.
