2013-2015 global outdoor LED lighting will meet the tide

In 2013, the global outdoor lighting output value will reach US$2,478 million, and the annual growth rate will reach over 46%. Other emerging market countries, such as Thailand, Russia, Latin America and Africa, will also usher in large-scale flashes of street lights in 2014. Until 2015, the penetration rate of LED street lamps gradually became flat, and the growth rate began to decline. The annual global LED streetlight reloading and newly-increased LED streetlights will maintain a scale of approximately 10 million baht/year.

U.S. and Canadian local provinces, such as San Diego, Seattle, and Los Angeles, have all launched LED street lamp replacement plans in the second half of 2012. Major local manufacturers such as Cooper Lighting, Cree, and GE Lighting have also announced new product lines. Meet different application needs. European international manufacturers are not too much to give, Philip launched CityTouch, allowing users to easily monitor the entire city's lighting system through the management interface. CityTouch can also monitor and manage the maintenance status of each lighting fixture through real-time status reporting. Until now, CityTouch has been widely used by large European lighting operators.

In 2012, the global LED outdoor lighting market bucked the trend, of which China's newly installed street lamps accounted for 30% of the world's total. Subsidies from the government are still the main growth drivers, especially in the weak export situation, more companies are optimistic about China's public lighting energy-saving renovation projects. Because the competition is very fierce, LED prices have been further depressed in 2012, and shipments have been concentrated in companies with large-scale advantages. However, there is still a shortage of new manufacturers entering this market. In 2013, with the financial subsidy quotation entering the installation period, Guangdong's new installed capacity is expected to exceed 300,000 units this year, becoming the fastest growing regional market for LED outdoor lighting.

The Taiwan Energy Board has released a plan to expand the setting of energy-saving LED street lamps of TWD 2 billion and is expected to replace 250,000 LED street lamps between 2013 and 2014. The tender for LED street lamps has adopted a favorable bid to facilitate the use of chips, LED components, power supplies, and radiators of Taiwanese manufacturers. Despite the fierce competition in the price of the marked market, the manufacturers bid for the low price, but the repairs are added. With the warranty cost, the winning bidder may not necessarily have too much profit, but it can bring revenue contribution. Therefore, the bid winners such as Guanglin, Yiguang, Delta Electronics, and Hershey will become the major beneficiaries.
