Analysts point out oversupply and the economic downturn has depressed prices to below production levels, meaning large numbers of small companies have already closed their businesses. It’s no choice but to integrate or declare bankruptcy under a new government resolution to reduce subsidies. Over the past three years, the Chinese government has been instrumental in providing support to Chinese LED chip companies in the form of tax breaks and free land use. It has also provided $1.6 billion of funds to companies to purchase the MOCVD. Due to government support, global share of the market for packaged LED components rose from 2 per cent in 2010 to 6 per cent in 2011. But the boom years are coming to an end, with many of China’s LED chipmakers operating their factories at 50 per cent capacity. Around half of the 700 or so factories that received government help have been left idle. Now the Chinese government is said to want to reduce the expenditure given to smaller companies focussing in...

Liu noted that the LED industry has begun recovering since the second quarter as undercutting competition among the manufacturers has less intensive. He estimated price decline in the LED market to be less than 5% in the second half. So far, a 7W LED light bulb has marked down to the US$10 range and is expected to further drop at a double digit rate until the end of 2013, Liu estimated.

The phase-out has been very smooth,” said Lighting Industry Association joint chief executive Peter Hunt this week. “Concerns about poor performance of replacement bulbs have been proved wrong. The new LED replacements for halogen down lighters that have come on to the market over the past year work just as well, for example. Price is still a barrier, but that’s coming down almost daily as volume increases.” He said that “scaremongering” about people stockpiling incandescents to beat the ban had proved to be unfounded: “There is no evidence to support this. Even so-called loopholes – the ‘rough-service’ incandescent bulbs that a few retailers are reported to still be selling – are overplayed. The law is clear: they should not be sold for household use. It says so on the packaging. Any retailer is risking a visit from government inspectors if they continue to sell them.” Before the phase-out began in 2009, an estimated 200 million incandescent bulbs were sold each year in the UK alone. ...

I always went to sleep early. But it's now difficult since the big LED screen was on from 6pm to 10pm every day. And the led high bay lighting is particularly dazzling," the woman said. The family's repeated complaints to government watchdogs were futile as they were told there's currently no standard in law to determine if the shopping mall kept its LED lights illegally bright. But the regulation being considered will set clear standards to restrict the brightness of outdoor LED facilities in Shanghai in an effort to relieve the disturbance to Lu's family and others who live near the lights.

In India, the impetus for growth will be provided by increasing focus on quality indoor and outdoor lighting. Global bans on usage that countries like Australia have already imposed on the usage of Incandescent lamps as well as the commitment from most developed countries to phase these out by 2015 have further boosted the growth prospects of LED as the preferred lighting source. Longer life and energy efficiency as well as the fact that LEDs provide environment friendly technology are some of the other reasons for the significant development of LEDs across the world. The main entry barrier is the high upfront costs as well as the lack of awareness. Government interventions in the segment are helping a lot and it is believed that this will lead to better adoption of the technology. In addition, the initiatives taken by the regulatory bodies and the incentivising of the sector by tax laws etc, are also leading to development of the sector.
