This 2011-2017 market review and forecast is presented for Standard-type versus High Brightness- (HB) type LEDs used in signage and professional displays.

This application category includes covers LEDs that are used in stationary and vehicle-based signs and displays. LEDs are used in building facades, large outdoor video screens, digital billboards, sport/stadium displays, small indoor retail displays, food displays (restaurants/supermarkets), signs on taxis and destination signs on mass-transit vehicles, channel-lettering/light-boxes, LED/LCD TV screens (used exclusively for professional purposes), and the list continues…

 High Brightness (HB) light emitting diodes (LEDs), defined by ElectroniCast, are component-level bulbs with a Lumens/Watt rating of 30lm/W and above (>30lm/W); Standard-type LEDs have a Lumen/Watt rating of less than 30lm/W (<30lm/W). The LED market forecast data are segmented by the following functions:

·        Consumption Value (US$, million)

·        Quantity (number/units: Million)

·        Average Selling Prices (ASP $, each)

The forecast for each type, in turn, is segmented into geographical region.  The market data are segmented into the following geographic regions, plus a Global summary:

• The Americas (North America, Central and South America)
• EMEA (Europe, Middle Eastern countries, plus Africa)
• APAC (Asia Pacific)

Below, are four levels (or “food chain”) of LEDs.  For the purposes of THIS ElectroniCast study, we quantify and provide a market forecast for “Level 2”

Level 1 - The chip or die

Level 2 - The LED component (component-level bulb)

Level 3 - LED array; may include optics, heat sink and/or power supply

Level 4 - LED luminaries     

The 2011 worldwide consumption of light emitting diodes used (consumed) in signage and professional displays reached $1.63 billion. In the year 2016, consumption is forecast to reach $3.3 billion.    

The American region (South, Central and North America) and the Asia Pacific region (APAC) are even in market share (2012); however, the APAC region is forecast to expand at a faster pace. 

The Europe, Middle East and African region (EMEA) holds over 20 percent share of global consumption value in 2012; however, is forecast for relatively flat growth for the next few years.
