LED Materials Market Analysis

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are the main type of solid-state lighting (SSL) that are currently replacing older lighting technologies such as incandescent lamps, halogen tubes, and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). The LED market offers a wide range of opportunities for chemical companies because chemicals and materials are required at all stages of the LED value chain-from chip fabrication to the assembly of the final fixture. This research report covers both materials that have been designed primarily for use in LED applications, and materials designed for broader use but also suitable for use in LEDs. Both material types are used in the industry; in some cases, the materials used represent a like-for-like replacement in traditional lighting fixtures. This study quantifies the revenue opportunities for chemical companies at all stages of the LED value chain based on an analysis of where value is added in the LED industry. By assessing how the market drivers and restraints affect each of the different chemical types, the analysis provides growth forecasts up to 2018 using a base year of 2013. It also provides an overview of the companies currently participating in the market, and identifies the areas in which there is potential for innovation and new market entrants.
