According to Bloomberg reported that Silicon Valley venture capital firms Vantage Point Capital Partners speculated that the growth of demand for energy-efficient lighting condition, LED price drops in three years, CEO AlanSalzman even estimates that the 2015 decline may be as high as 90%.
AlanSalzman said, LED current price per lumen (lumen, calculate the luminous flux unit, the watt incandescent bulbs with different) $ 0.01, will be the end of 2012 fell to $ 0.0025, while the 2015 will be down to $ 0.001 per lumen.
Europe is phasing out incandescent bulbs, the United States is pushing for 100-watt light bulb in 2012, the program disappeared, these factors are expected to make the LED manufacturers in the $ 40 billion a year global lighting market, grabbing a larger market share .
At present GE and Philips and other bulb manufacturers have produced LED lamp. In addition, Salzman also noted that some are developing low-cost LED products-ups, are also expected to win a place.
Salzman said LED in its infancy, and quality products are still not yet available. LED products currently account for general lighting applications less than 1%, but 5 years is expected to exceed 50%. However, institutional investors such as Pacific Crest Securities analyst Ben Schuman and so the odds are and Salzman, Salzman predicted that the situation will happen later. Schuman said that although the market for LED products in the consumer market, a more optimistic attitude towards the situation, but it appears to be industrial and outdoor market, will be in commercial and home markets.
Vantage Point has assisted the U.S. electric car manufacturers Tesla Motors company is listed, the former in clean energy technology industry's investments totaled about $ 750 million, including manufacturing of LED bulb U.S. Switch Bulb, Bridgelux, Taiwan Canton Ga optical and Sweden GLO company.

History of LED lighting
With the gradual development of LED lighting, auxiliary lighting in the lighting project and other public places, LED light gradually replace some of the traditional products. 2009, LED lighting began to spread into the main developed countries. The higher the tariffs, the use of longer places of business applications, LED lamp quickly became the new darling of the market. As the use of LED lighting, LED market in several stages.
The first stage, LED stage lighting utility model.
In the last phase, based on the market for LED lighting products have a certain amount of recognition and acceptance. Green LED lamps, small size, high reliability and other features increasingly prominent. Thus developed a series of completely different from the traditional light source applications, products will be popular. Lighting industry will be a more open space for development. Illumination light source is no longer just play the role, making it more appropriate for people of varied work life bit by bit. The company is designed to fight the application advantage.
The second stage, LED stage lighting intelligent control.
With things such as the development of new technologies, LED as the semiconductor industry, high-speed trains will also catch this tour, to play its high controllability characteristics. From home to office, from the road to the tunnel, from cars to walking, from the auxiliary lighting to the main lighting, with intelligent control of LED lighting systems will bring a higher level of human services. LED lighting products industry will also be made to design products to provide total solution process.
The third stage, LED lamp to replace acceptance stage.
This phase refers to the LED lamps in the early stages of development, mainly reflecting its high light efficiency (energy consumption), and long life. Because the price was high, so at this stage mainly for business according to the market. Customer acceptance of a process is to use the habits and appearance of the transition and acceptance. Consistent with the traditional light sources in the case of the use, LED lighting reflects the energy-saving, long life and other features make it easier to accept the market's relatively high price. Especially in commercial applications. The company is the quality to fight price advantage.

The main force of the future lighting industry: LED and OLED
According to market research firm SBI (SpecialistsinBusinessInformation) estimates that the current global market size of LED and OLED has more than 50 billion dollars, while the United States alone accounts for $ 1 billion in market value. This compared with 2007 growth of more than 50% full. SBI further estimates that by 2013 the global LED and OLED market will reach $ 14 billion and up to 30 billion U.S. dollars of the U.S. market.
Why LED and OLED technology, the best potential for future growth can be one of the industries it? Because the current global efforts for the green energy industry to be several times larger than in the past. With the first half of 2008 oil and other resource prices continue to rise, global climate change on human also had a tremendous impact.
LED compared to traditional incandescent in the conversion of energy is also efficient. In general, LED conversion efficiency of 80%, while only 20% of incandescent lamps. For example: the use of LED traffic signals than the use of incandescent traffic signal, can be reduced to 92% of energy use.
Long term, the establishment of the more LED or OLED application market, while many parts of the world will no longer need to build too many power plants, even if the global population, more and more for the higher electricity demand in the case. Because the LED and OLED will be able to reduce the power consumption of each user even, so once the higher penetration rate of LED lighting, the existing power plants is sufficient to meet demand.
However, SBI also warns that even if the benefits of LED and OLED so much, but its cost reduction still takes time.
So currently impeding the spread of the key LED and OLED is one of the cost. Once the rapid price declines, and perhaps the size of LED and OLED market will be larger and more popular.
Taiwan now is actively working to create the LED market. "Ministry of Economic Affairs Bureau of Energy" have been included NT 2-300000000 yuan budget, setting the standard in LED lights, the LED lamp replacement program will start. According to LEDinside estimates, Taiwan's LED market will have a 400-500 overall scale of one hundred million yuan business.
