The consumption value is forecasted to increase to $46.08 million in 2013, with strongly rising quantity growth partially offset by a continuing decline of average prices. “Sensing/Detection and Analytical/Monitoring applications, in 2008, represented nearly 47 percent share of worldwide consumption of LEDs used in the selected test / measurement equipment & medical science devices/equipment,” said Stephen Montgomery, president of ElectroniCast –APAC and Director of the LED research projects at the consultancy. “LEDs used in Phototherapy/Sanitation (such as water sanitation)/Cell Regeneration devices/equipment are forecasted to increase in value to $16.95 million in 2013,” said Montgomery.
