Japan LED lighting take-off plant to grab business opportunities

With the energy saving measures from the 311 Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japan's consumers will use LED lighting to increase their willingness to promote the accelerated growth of the LED lighting market in 2011, with bulb-type LED lamps accounting for more than incandescent lamps. Expect to benefit.

Due to factors such as the increasing global warming and the lack of natural energy, Japan has decided to ban the production and use of low-efficiency incandescent light bulbs since 2012, prompting Japanese lighting companies to actively invest in the production of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting.

Taiwan’s LED makers stated that after the 311 earthquake in Japan, it was felt that the Japanese government and people were making concerted efforts toward the “energy saving” target, and cooperated with government agencies to release subsidies policies at a timely manner. Compared with other European and American countries, Japan is currently importing LED lighting. The fastest area.

According to statistics, after the 311 earthquake in Japan, sales of bulb-type LED lamps (bulbs) grew 2-3 times before the earthquake, accounting for the first time that the proportion of ball-type lighting has exceeded incandescent bulbs, indicating that Japan's 311 earthquake has accelerated the growth of the Japanese LED lighting market. .

The market adjustment agency DIGITIMES Research pointed out that in 2010, Japan's LED lighting market scale rapidly expanded to 86.5 billion yen (about 1.1 billion US dollars), a 2.7-fold increase over 2009, mainly due to the maturity of Japanese LED R&D technology, and the government’s active advocacy effect.

DIGITIMES Research estimates that the Japanese LED lighting market will take the lead from other countries in 2011 and enter the growth period. By 2015, the penetration rate of the LED lighting market in Japan may exceed 70%.

Taiwanese manufacturers began to actively invest in the LED lighting industry last year. Japan’s LED lighting industry is leading the world. Taiwanese manufacturers are actively rushing to eat big cakes. Among them, Delta Electronics, New Century, and Huaxing have all cooperated with Japanese companies, and they are the biggest beneficiaries. By.

At this stage, both packaging and application companies, including Delta Electronics and Everlight Electronics, have both developed their own brands and OEM dual-track models. Delta Electronics has received major orders for LED bulbs from Japanese and European manufacturers since last year.

In addition, in the new century from the upstream epitaxial plant to the downstream lighting module, in May last year, it announced that it would cooperate with JFE Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Japan's JFE Holding Group, to target Japanese companies and local governments for marketing by New Century Optoelectronics. LED lighting, attack the Japanese LED lighting market.

The new century indicates that in the future cooperation between the two sides, the main sales market locks factories, office buildings, stations, road lighting and so on.

DIGITIMES Research stated that Japan will start requiring all lighting manufacturers to stop manufacturing and selling incandescent bulbs in 2012. By then, the demand for bulb-type LED lamps will increase. Therefore, following the accelerated growth of LED lighting demand in 2011, LED in 2012 The lighting market will still maintain a high growth rate of 77%, and the market penetration rate will be further increased to 45%.

DIGITIMES Research estimates that, in cooperation with the Japanese government, it will also promote the next-generation lighting subsidy program. It is estimated that by 2015, the LED lighting market penetration rate in Japan may exceed 70%.
