The global market for packaged GaN LEDs will exhibit steady growth during the forecast period and is envisaged to grow moderately at a CAGR of more than 5% during the forecast period. The increasing application of LEDs is a noteworthy factor that will foster the prospects for growth in this market until the end of 2020. LEDs are generally used as backlight sources and display panels or screens for TVs, headlights, indicator lights, and dashboard gauges in automobiles, and as a preferred light source in many types of electronic equipment like laptops and tablets. LEDs are rich in color, robust in terms of durability, and have a long lifespan. The combination of GaN and LED is the latest trend in LED technology and is used for backlit LCDs in smartphones, laptops, and TVs. This increase in the implementation of GaN-based LEDs in electronic equipment will augment the prospects for growth in this market until the end of 2020.
Technavio’s market research analyst has estimated that the presence of eminent factors, such as the advent of GaN-on-Si LEDs, will impel the prospects for market growth during the forecast period. Generally, GaN-on-sapphire LEDs are extensively used for various electronic applications but due to the limited availability of sapphire, many key manufacturers have started to shift to GaN-on-Si technology. These manufacturers are leveraging the silicon wafer market to achieve economies of scale through volume production. Since silicon wafers are abundantly available and cheaper than sapphire, they are extensively being used to replace GaN-on-sapphire LEDs, which in turn will result in market growth during the estimated period.
The general lighting manufacturers segment will dominate this market and will account for an impressive market share of more than 51% by the end of 2020. The rising demand for energy-efficient lamps for installation applications in airports, harbors, and railways will lead to the strong growth of this market segment during the predicted period.
In this market research, analysts have estimated the APAC region to continue its market dominance during the forecast period. The market for packaged GaN LED is highly competitive due to the presence of low-cost LED product manufacturers in China. Factors such as the high adoption of LED bulbs and spotlights, government grants and subsidies, and growing consumer demand for efficient light sources will aid in the growth of this market in APAC during the estimated period. Comprehensive segmentation analysis carried out by the analysts at Technavio has shown that the market for packaged GaN LED in APAC will account for nearly 79% of the total market share by 2020.
