LED Market Revenue Bar, 2012-2018 ($M)

The global packaged LED industry grew from $1.2 billion in 2000 to $14.2 billion in 2013. Back in 2009, illumination accounted for $665 million in revenues and in 2013 the general lighting segment was worth $4.4 billion. According to Strategies Unlimited analyst Katya Evstratyeva, “We forecast the growth for LEDs in lighting to be 27% of CAGR from 2013 to 2018, driven mostly by an increased consumer confidence and continuously increasing sales of replacement lamps, downlights, industrial, commercial, and outdoor products.”

The top 15 companies in the LED space account for about 81% of global revenues and the top 25 companies account for 93% of revenues. It is clear that quite a few manufacturers continue to struggle to find their identity in this fast-changing environment as the packaged LED industry is becoming more and more complex. As a result, we anticipate consolidation of the market in the coming years.
