Abstract
HB LEDs have penetrated a variety of niche lighting applications and are
beginning to be used in several white light applications that could be
considered as part of the general illumination market. The market for HB LEDs
in lighting amounted to $325 million in 2007, or approximately 5% of the
overall HB LED market. The largest application was architectural lighting,
where the ability of LEDs to provide colors and color-changing effects was a
major market driver. In spite of its small share of the overall HB LED market,
lighting was one of the fastest growing segments in 2007, and the market is
forecast to grow to over $1.5 billion by 2012. To understand this dynamic
market and its driving forces, Strategies Unlimited has completed a
comprehensive report that looks at the demand side of high-brightness LEDs for
lighting specific applications. The report includes an applications analysis,
lighting industry overview, technology trends, five year market forecast, and
an appendix of LED lighting manufacturers The Market for High-Brightness LEDs
in Lighting Applications - 2008 is the most recent edition in a series of
reports published on the LED industry by Strategies Unlimited.
This report addresses the market for LEDs used in illumination applications;
that is, applications in which the light from an LED is used to illuminate an
object or surface, rather than being viewed directly to provide information
(e.g., LED signs) or a signal (e.g., automobile taillights).
