Due to government support, the LED lights sales continue to rise; China will become the largest LED lights market in 2011, 55% of the world market share, but dropped slightly to 50% in 2014. DisplaySearch think from 2011 to 2014, regional or national LED lights market share there will be no large floating.

In region, Japan is the world's largest LED lights market in 2011, the market share as high as 63%, but will be reduced to 40% in 2014. Due to the limited power resources and energy saving consciousness raising, high permeability of the LED lighting system in Japan, until 2014 will be the biggest lighting market. From 2011 to 2014, China, North America and Europe LED bulb development speed will be higher than other regions in the world.

South Korea is the world's largest supplier of LED, in 2010, but 2011 years later, Taiwan will take its place; DisplaySearch, points out that the second quarter of 2011 top three (press) of computation of 500 * 500 um for the S - LED chip suppliers, LGIT and electricity (Epistar). Mainland China also invests heavily in recent years of LED production in many application fields are also available.

DisplaySearch forecasts over the next few years, LED the market will develop greatly, so the LED supplier need cost competitiveness and have the right strategy, to face the challenges of the future. In 2011 due to a glut on the market, very competitive prices fell sharply at the same time. Thus to further improve the permeability of the LED lighting market.

According to DisplaySearch, the latest season of led market supply and demand forecast according to the report, will gradually become a mainstream of led lighting application, forecast usage in 2011 will be a 20% growth in 2010. LED backlight and lighting in 2010 total revenue of $7.2 billion, predicts the number will reach $12.7 billion in 2014.

DisplaySearch, points out that lighting applications demand increase is the main power of LED market has strong growth, suppliers are aware of this trend, and plans to increase production capacity; The agency forecast global LED production capacity will reach 180 billion, 2011, 2013 will reach 227 billion.

LED the overall market demand continues to improve, but the LED backlit demand gradually decreases, and began to move toward LED lighting applications. LiuJingMin DisplaySearch, a senior analyst, said: "since the fourth quarter of 2010, early in the first quarter of 2011 and the second, the led-backlit TVS higher inventory levels and sales slow, thus reducing led-backlit market demand, however, we forecast the LED backlight can rebound in the third quarter, demand and achieve the highest level."

At present, the LED backlight application in all small and medium size LCD products, portable personal computer nearly 100%, the permeability of the permeability of the liquid crystal display and LCD TV also continues to improve, but the decrease in the number of required for each LED encapsulation. 2011 led-backlit total demand for 2011. Since 2010, is mainly used in LCD TV become the LED backlight, accounted for 50% of overall demand, forecast in 2012 reached the supreme; But as per required for reducing the number of LED encapsulation, expected 2013 TV LED backlit demand will decline slightly.

Lighting applications, LED the average permeability is 1.4% in 2010, is expected to reach 9.3% in 2014; Due to replace halogen lamps, the LED on the spot application has high permeability, at the same time the government policy also is expected to accelerate the application of LED in the street. In the second quarter of 2011, LED lighting a total revenue of $3.2 billion, is expected to rapid growth in the third quarter to $3.4 billion.
