Date Announced: 25 Jan 2012 According to ElectroniCast, worldwide use of LED-based linear tube lamps is forecast for explosive growth, driven by the eventual desire to replace fluorescent tube lights… Upper Lake, CA (USA) – January 25, 2012 -- ElectroniCast Consultants, a leading market research consultancy, today announced the release of a new 10-year market forecast of the global use of light emitting diode (LED) linear tube lamps, which are used in new construction as a replacement for fluorescent linear lamps (tubes). One major problem with fluorescent tubes is mercury is used, which is extremely toxic if the lamp breaks, especially harmful to the brains of both fetuses and children.Diameter classification, Length and Technology The ElectroniCast report provides an independent examination and analysis of the changing market dynamics for two major types of LED-based linear tube lamps, segmented by length (less than 4 feet and 4 feet or longer), each of diameter classification (“T” standard) and by technology:• DIP LED-based linear tube lamps o T5, T8, T12 and T10/Other• SMD LED-based linear tube lampso T5, T8, T12 and T10/OtherAccording to ElectroniCast Consultants, the worldwide use of LED linear tube lamps is forecast increase at a dramatic average annual growth rate of 75 percent (2011-2016), before speeding-up the pace from 2016-2021.

All of the selected end-user groups (applications) are forecast for very strong growth rates (2011-2021).Consumption Forecast: $2.88 Billion in 2021 According to ElectroniCast Consultants, the global consumption of LED linear tube lamps, which are used in new construction, retrofitting and replacement applications for fluorescent linear tube lamps, reached 8.3 million in 2011, up from $4.8 million in 2010. In the year 2016, the worldwide consumption value is forecast to reach $136.5 million. In the year 2021, the worldwide consumption value is forecast to reach $2.88 billion.
