Abstract
LED driver IC sales will reach nearly $3.5 billion in 2015 from nearly $2
billion in 2010, a compound annual growth rate of 12%.
LED driver electronics enable efficient and reliable performance of LEDs. As
the overall electrical circuit and a large part of the overall design, the
driver is more important than the LEDs alone, but it is surprisingly complex
and the market is highly fragmented across countless applications. The market
for a key component of LED drivers, the driver ICs, is sizeable at $2 billion
in 2010, buoyed by strong growth in LED backlights in mobile phones, TVs, and
monitors. Innovations promise to help meet aggressive price and performance
targets necessary to expand further the market for LED lighting, particularly
in replacement bulbs. These innovations open opportunities for both new and
established companies.
This new report from Strategies Unlimited takes a fresh look at the LED driver
and driver IC market, with over 300 pages of detail on technology and
application trends. It is a complete revision of an earlier report, with
perspectives on the LED applications, driver technology, requirements on the
drivers and driver ICs, and findings on suppliers and market shares. It
provides unit, price, and revenue forecasts to 2015 for all of the LED driver
segments, and findings on suppliers and market shares. The forecast builds on
Strategies Unlimited' s other reports on LEDs, LED lighting, and LED
replacement bulbs.
