In Japan, the average price of 40W equiv. bulbs has dropped by 4.5% and the existing product price has also showed a steady decline. Price declines in the above countries have also resulted from the increased exchange rate.

Average price of 60W equiv. traditional incandescent bulbs drops steadily in each country
In March, the average price of 60W equiv. LED bulbs fell by 6.5% to 24.1USD in the global market, 3.8% in Japan (25.8USD), 1.4% in Korea (the price of existing products stayed flat; price decline was mainly caused by the increased exchange rate), 2.9% in the US (with a slight fluctuation in the existing product price and a lower new product price), 11.3% in the UK, and 3.5% in Germany. Price decline in the UK and Germany was mainly caused by the steady decline in existing product price as well as the increased exchange rate.
In China, the price of 60W equiv. bulbs dropped by 15.5% to 17.1USD. The price of existing products remained flat, thus such price decline was mainly caused by the lower price of new products. In Taiwan, the price of 60W equiv. bulbs dropped by 6.4% to 13.9USD in March. The slight decline of the existing product price and the increased exchange rate have both resulted in the price decline.

Facing fierce market competition, 40W LED bulb price drop more rapidly in the Chinese market
The price of China’s 40W equiv. bulbs still remained low. SunSunLighting’s 6.5W LED bulbs (450 lumen), for example, was quoted at 4.1USD in March, which is currently the lowest in all statistical areas. Besides the UK and Germany, 40W LED bulb price in other statistical areas are all below 10USD. It is clear that 40W LED bulb price is lower in the Asian market than the European and US market.
On the other hand, the average price of 60W LED bulbs remained still in Japan, Korea, Europe, and the US. In China and Taiwan, however, 60W LED bulb average price has dropped due to other cheap local products. LEDinside believed that the usage and penetration rate of 40W equiv. bulbs was higher than that of 60W equiv. bulbs, thus the market competition was more intense, and price decline was more rapid.
