LED's penetration rate in the field of general lighting rises steadily

When backlight applications tend to saturate, the most promising and most anticipated application market for LEDs has turned into general lighting. At present, the penetration rate of LED backlights for TVs has reached 45%, and the penetration rate of LED backlights for notebook computers has approached 100%. In 2012, the backlight market will gradually begin to saturate. LED manufacturers experienced two years of LED backlighting and accumulated advanced experience.

The most relevant to the penetration of general lighting is the price/performance ratio of LED. It is estimated that the acceptance price of light bulbs in the market will be within 10 US dollars and will reach 500 lm/$ between 2012 and 2013. By then, the penetration rate of European lighting market may exceed 20%. Of course, mainland China may impose higher requirements on the cost of lumens, which will reach 1,000 lm/$.

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 in the second week of April has reached 27%. From this year, more and more manufacturers have begun to focus on 60-watt light bulbs, the average market price is about 40 US dollars. Wang Xiwei believes that the penetration rate of LED lighting market in 2015 is expected to be close to 40%. In the backlight market over 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, 32-inch TV power cannot exceed 55 watts, which accelerates the development of LED TVs to some extent.
