Date Announced: 14 Feb 2011 Upper Lake, CA (USA) -- ElectroniCast Consultants, a leading market research consultancy, today announced the release of a just-completed market review and forecast of the consumption of Light Emitting Diode lamps used is solid-state lighting (SSL) general lighting applications in the United States of America.According to ElectroniCast Consultants, the consumption of LED lamps was $485 million in 2010 in the United States. The firm forecasts the consumption value will reach $1.64 billion in lamps installed in the year 2015 representing an average annual growth rate of 27.6 percent (2010-2015). Market forecast data in this study report refers to consumption (use) for a particular calendar year; therefore, this data is not cumulative data.“This study of the United States consumption of LED lamps (also known as “consumer-level bulbs”), which are used in luminaires in stationary/fixed location (non-vehicle/non-portable) solid-state lighting (SSL) General Lighting applications. The lamps are lamps are used in new construction, as well as retrofitting/replacement of existing (installed-based) lamps,” said Stephen Montgomery, Principal Analyst- LED Practice at the consultancy.The US market is segmented into the following major application categories: Government, Commercial/Industrial and Residential/Non-Specific. The report also breaks-out the forecast by six major lamp types: Parabolic aluminized reflector (PAR), General Service (A-Type), Decorative, Multifaceted reflector (MR) Compatible, Linear / Tube, and lamps used in Street-lights/Exterior lighting.“The PAR lamps are currently the market leader with over 40 percent market share; however, the MR- lamp type (especially the MR-16 lamps) used in recessed ceiling/down lighting and track lighting is on a fast pace to catch-up, pushed by the commercial/industrial sector. The general service (especially the A-19 lamp) also is a stand out in the forecast, especially in potential residential applications, later in the forecast period,” Montgomery added.The increased use of LED-based lamps in SSL General lighting is strongly driven by promised savings in maintenance/ labor, as well as “Green-Tech” (ecology-oriented) issues, and several other dynamics. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is a key marketing dynamic relative to LED Lamps, which typically have a premium price point versus other lighting solutions. “The decorative lamps, such as candle-shapes and globes is a smaller market segment; however it is forecast to be a great opportunity for niche-players. The linear (tube) lamp, which is eyeing the fluorescent tube market segment, is forecast with the fastest annual growth of over 70 percent (2010-2015). Finally, the street-lamp segment, which also covers parks/campus, tunnels, walkways, and parking lots, is poised for 40.5 percent (value) growth per year, spear-headed by the government sector,” Montgomery added.This 557-page market forecast report, along with an extensive database (Excel spreadsheets) and PowerPoint slides is available immediately from ElectroniCast Consultants.
