Lux : China’s LED lighting market ready to double
Driven by a virtuous cycle of falling prices, policy support, and energy goals, LEDs’ share of lighting in China will nearly double to 18 percent in four years, Lux Research says
China’s LED lighting market will more than double to $7.4 billion in 2017 from $3.1 billion, as ongoing urbanisation, local energy savings targets, and price cuts make the technology more appealing, according to Lux Research.
Both residential and commercial segments will drive LED lighting to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24 percent, far outpacing the 5.6 percent CAGR for the broader lighting market. As a result, LED lighting will grow its share of the lighting market from 9.6 percent to 18 percent.
“LED lighting has changed from expensive products outside the cost-conscious sweet-spot of Chinese buyers to value-adding solutions, gaining market share and realizing sustainable growth,” says Jerrold Wang, Lux Research Associate and the lead author of the report titled, “Running to the Light: Sizing China’s LED Lighting Market.”
Lux Research studied the Chinese LED market and industry value chain to assess opportunities for global players and investors.
They found that Guangdong, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu are premium markets. In Lux’s Market Adoption Grid, these provinces emerged as the upper tier of “premium” markets for LED adoption. Guangdong offers
ChromaLit Linear
This product received the Lux Award by Lux Magazine for Light Source Innovation of the Year and recognition by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) in its Progress Report featuring the most promising new lighting products.
Remote phosphor is a lighting system architecture where a separate phosphor component is powered by blue LEDs. LED lighting applications use this architecture and the increased light extraction it enables to reduce LED component count and costs. Lighting uniformity and consistency are also improved and supply chains are simplified.

the best overall combination, driven by the largest new and existing building floor space in 2015.
Also, the residential segment shows fastest growth. The Chinese residential LED market will grow from $23 million in 2013 to $310 million in 2017, a CAGR of 92 percent, the highest among five market segments – as average prices fall the fastest, from $6.02 per fixture in 2013 to $3.13 in 2017.
Lux also syas that consolidation is coming. China’s end- product market is highly disaggregated, with more than 5,000 players. The top 50 suppliers account for only 33 percent of the market and the top 10 take merely 18 percent. Industry consolidation is imminent over the next five years, with suppliers of poor-quality products facing elimination.
