International. The backlighting of LCD screens continues to be one of the sectors that most uses LED luminaires, presenting an increase in the demand for this type of products that, according to the market report made by DisplaySearch, should be maintained until 2013.
According to data from the organization's Quarterly Supply and Demand Forecast report on the LED market , the growing popularity of new low-cost designs for LCD TVs will drive demand for LED backlight lights in the coming years.
In addition, for 2014 the report forecasts that lighting will be the main source of demand for LEDs as the reduction in prices and improvements in their effectiveness increase the adoption rate of this technology.
Taking into account the above, it is expected that by 2015 the penetration of LED lighting will reach 16.8% of the market.
This is a clear sign of recovery after the situation experienced during 2011, in which, after a 2010 with high growth rates, demand in this segment decreased markedly due to a combination of factors, including the lower sale of LCD televisions and a slower growth in the chips used for backlighting driven by the higher efficiency rates of this product.
