Packaged LED Market Expected To Create Lucrative Opportunities For The Global Market

Packaged LED are continuing to advance in terms of color quality, efficacy, and lumen outputs. Evolution in architecture, component and package developments are trending in the packaged LED market. The market saw consolidation in years 2014 and 2015 owing to overcapacity caused by LED TV and the entry of Chinese players in the industry. Most of the small players went bankrupt and mid players have been acquired to decrease the competition and stabilize the price erosions. The packaged LED market experienced massive hit owing to drastic price erosions along with discordant exchange rates in most of the regions. Decline in displays and mobile markets in 2015 was another reason for companies to compete in this industry. The average selling price (ASP) for mid and low powered LEDs declined about 30%-40% thus resulting in revenue decline in 2015. This decline was indicated by the lower-than anticipated demand from LED lighting and backlight markets.
