Retail price of LED lamps stopped falling

According to the survey of the retail price of the new LED bulbs in LEDinside, a research department of TrendForce, the retail price of LED bulbs in March this year did not continue the steady downward trend in the last two quarters. The average price of LED bulbs replacing 40 watts rose by nearly 7, the main price increase areas are Japan and the United Kingdom. Instead of the 60-watt LED bulb, the price in March was 1. 6 fell slightly, with the international average selling price reaching $33. TrendForce said that with the exception of the United States, product prices in various regions basically stopped falling in March 2012, and some regions even rebounded significantly. In addition to objective factors such as exchange rate, the new high-priced products on the market are the main reasons for this price increase. Replacing the traditional 40-watt LED bulb, the international average price rose to about 21 US dollars in March, mainly because the price of new products increased due to performance improvement, for example, the design of full beam luminous angle and induction function. The price in the UK changed greatly in February. The average price of 40-watt LED bulbs replaced by 40-watt LED bulbs exceeded 30 US dollars. The main reason was that the old low-quality items withdrew from the market, while the new items also improved their luminous efficiency, or the full beam design leads to higher prices. In addition, the exchange rate of currencies against the US dollar in other regions except Japan fell, causing the price to rise relatively after conversion. The gains in South Korea and Germany were 5 and 6 respectively. Only the price in the United States continued to decline, the decline was about 2. Replacing 60-watt incandescent bulb products, the international average selling price continued to fall in March, but the speed slowed down by only 1. 5%. 6. The competition in the US market has intensified, and the price cuts are obvious. The average price has reached 25. US $6 is a price advantage area. The price of the product in Japan has not changed significantly, but the price has fallen after the conversion due to the rise in the Japanese currency exchange rate. In addition, prices in South Korea and the UK both rose slightly in March, mainly due to a fall in exchange rates and a slight increase in commodity prices. TrendForce said that with the gradual increase in the acceptance of high-performance products, the average market price of LED bulbs is expected to enter a period of stability or even recovery. After the market acceptance and competition level increase, start another round of price decline. In addition, in response to the Taiwan government's proposed NT $100 billion loan scheme, TrendForce actually calculated the price of LED bulbs and the power saving cost of LED bulbs within three years, indicating that if LED bulbs with 60-watt bulb specifications are replaced, if you use it for 12 hours a day, you can completely return to the book in three years to achieve power saving. The annual rate of return for three years is 5. 09, so it is very suitable for large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises to purchase energy-saving lamps to save costs.
