LED industry will embrace a new round of market growth opportunity

It comes to know that as LED "heart", the reliability of drive power supply, has become the wind vane of LED industry. Some analysts point out that, driven by policy, public LED lighting market has rapidly kicked off. And commercial market is deepening, resident market is also to open. It’s estimated High-speed growth of LED lighting market will last from 2012 to 2015. At the same time, the demand for passive components will increase and in the future, professional power plant will share high-power power supply products market share. Therefore, LED industry will embrace a new round of market growth opportunity.

Approved by Taiwan's six major lighting associations and two state-funded institutes, the Institute for Information Industry (III) and the Industrial Technology Research Institute, the five intelligent lighting system standards cover the areas of system functions, wide area networks, field area networks, design guides for field area networks, and lighting device specifications, and will promote badly needed integration in the country's lighting supply chain.

Gary Tsai, a research director at the institute, pointed out that “To maintain our technological edge and overall value, Taiwanese companies need to develop higher-value smart lighting systems and improve product compatibility based on these new standards.”

Tsai said that the next step for Taiwan's LED industry is to apply to the government to have the standards accepted as national norms, which could help Taiwan expand its role in negotiations on setting international lighting standards. Before then, by bringing about greater industry integration, the new norms could help address the lack of balance between the domestic LED industry's output value and volume.
