Aptos, CA (USA) -- ElectroniCast Consultants, a leading market forecast firm, released their study of the worldwide use of Polycarbonate (PC) in
Light Emitting Diode (LED) Lighting. The report provides actual consumption (use) market data for 2015, plus
the year-by-year forecast through 2022.
ElectroniCast estimates that 123.09 thousand metric
tons (MT) of polycarbonate resin was used in the production of selected
piece-parts of LED lamps and luminaires in 2015.
LEDs are used in both functional and decorative light fixtures, with
an advantage of energy savings. Compared to incandescent lighting, LED-based
solid-state lighting (SSL) delivers visible light with reduced heat. In
addition, its solid-state nature provides for greater resistance to shock,
vibration, and wear, thereby significantly increasing its lifespan.
“Since the LED light source is very durable and long-lasting (for
example 10-years), the piece-parts (components) of the LED lamp and/or
luminaire (light fixture) should also be very durable and long-lasting, and
polycarbonate is a key material to the success of LED lighting in the
marketplace” said Stephen Montgomery, Principal Analyst- LED Group
at ElectroniCast.
Piece-parts (components) are used in LED lamps and
luminaire (lighting fixtures). The
market forecast is presented for the following polycarbonate piece-parts:
Lenses/Optics/ Diffusers; Reflectors; Heat Sinks; Housing/Closures; and
Lightguides/Other. The study continued to forecast the use of each
component-type in various lamps and luminaries, such as LED linear tubes,
general service (A19/G60/ Other A-Type), Parabolic aluminized reflector (PAR),
Street Lights, and several others.
The study also segments the use of polycarbonate-based
LED lighting products in several end-use applications, including: General Lighting;
Vehicles; Signage; Portable lighting; and Professional Task Lighting.
“The use of polycarbonate in the General Lighting
application was the leader in terms of relative market share last year;
however, all of the applications are set for very strong double-digit growth
during the forecast period (2015-2022),” Montgomery said.
