According to LEDinside, a research division of TrendForce, Europe’s worsening debt crisis has curbed demand from the European market and threatened Asian LED makers, who rely heavily on export sales. Therefore, some manufacturers’ sales momentums have shown a slight decrease in 2Q12.
According to TrendForce’s “2011-2015 European LED Lighting Market Report” by the LED research division LEDinside, European LED lighting market’s rapid growth is attributed to the energy-saving awareness and high electricity prices in Europe, especially the latter.
According to LEDinside, the LED research division of TrendForce, European LED lighting market’s compound annual growth rate will hit 38% in the next five years, becoming another mature LED market besides Japan.
According to the latest price survey by LEDinside, the LED research division of TrendForce, the global LED light bulb price downtrend did not persist in March – 40W equivalent LED light bulb ASP went up by almost 7%, with the uptrend mostly attributed to Japan and the United Kingdom.
The climbing energy-saving awareness over the recent years has been greatly spurring the LED lighting demand. In addition to major brand vendors’ releases of new LED lighting products, mature markets such as Europe and Japan have implemented policies to phase out incandescent light bubs, which further propels the LED market to grow.
