Abstract
INTRODUCTION
In this study, the goal of BCC Research is to determine the current status of
the worldwide market for solid-state lighting equipment in the form of
light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and to assess their growth potential over a
5-year period from 2006 to 2011. The types of LEDs and materials being used
for substrates in various consumer and industrial applications are of
particular interest.
A solid-state lighting initiative has been in place for the past 6 years and
is targeted at replacing traditional lighting products, such as bulbs, with
LEDs. BCC Research is providing a comprehensive analysis of the progress of
this initiative and its overall market growth.
SCOPE OF STUDY
This report covers:
- Technologies and materials for fabricating colored and white LEDs
- Key industries using HB-LEDs analyzed to evaluate their current market
status and develop future projections
- An overview of different LED technologies and the processes used to
fabricate them
- Presentation of the global industry structure
- Forecasts of shipments and their value are made for 2005 to 2006, and then
from 2006 to 2011
- Technological issues, market analyses, company profiles, and patents.
METHODOLOGY
BCC Research presents an analysis for each industry of the number of LED units
shipped in 2005. Estimated value is what manufacturers have paid in
undepreciated dollars. Then, based on our surveys, we analyze the potential
market for each industry and forecast shipments for 2006 and 2011. We also
analyze the cost of HB-LEDs and present an estimated value of shipments for
these same time periods.
