High-Brightness LED Market Review and Forecast 2009

Abstract

In 2008, the HB LED market grew by 11% to $5.1 billion, continuing the trend of recent years. However, because of the effects of the worldwide economic recession, the market is expected to contract by 3.7% in 2009. Nevertheless, the fundamental growth drivers for the HB LED market have not changed. Rather, they have become even stronger, as the emerging markets for LEDs in lighting and backlights open up new large-volume markets that were not available in earlier years. Overall, the HB-LED market is forecast to grow from $5.1 billion in 2008 to $14.9 billion in 2013, which represents a compound annual growth rate of 24.0%.
