HB-LEDs saw a precipitous fall in prices in 2011 which helped reduce the price LED lamps and luminaires. The growth in lighting applications could not compensate the slow growth in LED TV applications, but the adoption of HB LED in lighting offers a growth strategy for HB LED suppliers.

The general lighting markets in the developed world continue to be soft while the LED markets saw market growth in almost all lighting applications. Although the growth rate for the LED luminaire markets was in double digits the revenues for LED manufactures were affected by price declines.

Growth in emerging markets and the need for reducing energy use continues to be the strong drivers for LED adoption. While some applications such as the outdoor lighting, architectural, and commercial lighting have proved their viability, the price per lumen for LED lighting is the limiting factor. The report analyzes the market for LEDs used in ten lighting application segments for the base years 2010 and 2011 and offers the forecast for 2012-16. The market is analyzed by package type, material, and color. Regional breakdown of the market is given for 2011.
