The penetration rate of LED in general lighting is rising steadily

When backlight applications are saturated, the most promising and anticipated application market for LEDs will shift to general lighting. Currently, the penetration rate of LED backlights for TVs has reached about 45%, and the penetration rate of LED backlights for notebook computers has approached 100%. In 2012, the backlight market will begin to slowly become saturated. LED manufacturers have experienced the LED backlight boom in the past two years and have accumulated advanced experience.

The most closely related to the penetration rate of general lighting is the cost performance of LED. It is expected that the market will accept the price of light bulbs within 10 US dollars, and it will reach 500lm/ in 2012-2013. By then, the penetration rate of the European lighting market may exceed 20%. Of course, the mainland may have higher requirements for lumen cost, which must reach 1000lm/

At present, the LED bulb market is in full swing, especially in the Japanese market. According to the latest sales figures in Japan, the number of LED lighting products in a lighting product store reached 27% in the second week of April. Starting this year, more and more manufacturers have begun to focus on 60-watt bulbs, and the average market price is about 40 US dollars. Wang Xiwei believes that the penetration rate of the LED lighting market is expected to be close to 40% in 2015. In the backlight market in the past 5-10 years, various countries have made various efforts to promote the penetration of LED applications. For example, from the perspective of energy efficiency, regulations have been made that require the power of a 32-inch TV not to exceed 55 watts, which has accelerated the development of LED TVs to a certain extent.
