Market demand for new ball LED bulbs expands in 2014

According to LEDinside, a green energy business division under market research organization TrendForce, the output value of LED lighting market in 2014 was 35. 3 billion US dollars, up from 2013. 8. The penetration rate of LED lighting will also increase to 32. 5% in 2014. 7. Guo Zhihao, a senior analyst at TrendForce, said that in order to meet the market demand for new ball LED bulbs and lamps in 2014, it is estimated that 250 MOCVD machines will still need to be added. The surge in LED lighting applications has made the demand for LED lighting strong. LEDinside estimates that the output value of the LED lighting market in 2014 will be 35. 3 billion US dollars, up from 2013. 8. The penetration rate of LED lighting will also increase to 32. 5% in 2014. 7, of which the penetration rates of bulb lamps and lamps reached 20 and 15 respectively. Judging from the rising demand for LED lighting in 2014, competitive LED chip factories still need to continuously increase their production capacity in 2014. Guo Zhihao said that in order to meet the market demand for new ball LED bulbs and lamps in 2014, it is estimated that 250 MOCVD machines will still need to be added. Judging from the growth rate of LED chip factories this year, the production capacity of Taiwan and China's first-line LED chip factories is at high-grade water level, while there are still a large number of MOCVD machines in the Chinese market, however, most of these machines are in the hands of small factories. Under the circumstance that the market price competition is still quite fierce, the cost for small factories to start these MOCVD machines is too high. It is expected that small factories will continue to withdraw from the LED supply market. In addition to continuously improving the yield, the number of days and the number of times the machine operates, it is estimated that large LED chip factories may also adopt the method of merging small factories to obtain MOCVD machines to expand their production capacity in 2014. Guo Zhihao further said, as far as the method of expanding MOCVD machines is concerned, LED chip factories must wait for MOCVD manufacturers to ship after placing orders, and it will take some time to install and adjust the machines, in other words, the newly purchased machines cannot provide production capacity immediately in a short period of time. Therefore, the possibility of large LED chip factories increasing production capacity by merging small factories is greatly increased, so that production capacity can be ready to fight when the LED lighting market takes off rapidly.
