Korea LED lighting industry into the sprint popular trend

Core Tip: South Korean authorities estimate that the global market size of LED industry in 2015 will be expanded to about $ 100 billion. In order to ensure a solid position in this huge market, South Korea proposed in 2012 the LED market share increased from 8.3% in 2008 to 15% target. For this reason, the development of intensive cultivation of the LED industry policy.
Cooperation to promote the popularity of LED by officials and the public, to the city as the center of Korea to expand the use of LED lighting. For example, in Seoul's public institutions, about 930,000 of the overall lighting equipment (as of April 2010), about 160,000 (equivalent to approximately 17% overall) have been replaced with LED lighting. In addition, the planned 2020 public institutions before all lighting fixtures are replaced with LED. In addition, operators of the railway KOREARAILROAD (KORAIL) scheduled before the end of 2010 to spend $ 1.3 billion 80 million won, the equivalent of 2,000 cars 10% of 200 vehicles to replace lighting fixtures LED. After phased program to promote LED technology.
However, the set of LED lighting for public spaces multi-institutional and commercial facilities, does not seem to penetrate into the ordinary family. Although the appliance store to see more opportunities for LED lighting, but because of higher prices and other reasons, the penetration rate in the average family currently only 2%.
Ministry of Knowledge Economy in order to promote the popularity of LED lighting scheme provides grants to farm, residential and shopping street as the object of LED lighting buyers, providing financing called "ESCO" for large-scale civil construction.
On parts and materials technology development, the South Korean government to ensure that South Korea has the world's standards of technology, planning blueprint for the development of LED technology to accelerate development. In the high-efficiency chip development, in addition to plans to invest more than 1 trillion won by 2012, also scheduled to new areas such as LED lighting industry to increase investment in research and development.
The South Korean government and enterprises to actively develop the policy, but to expand the LED industry still exist four problems. This is the relationship between the personnel, materials, and ensure the reliability of SMEs and large enterprises.
First, we can support the lack of professionals in the fast-growing LED industry. Wherein the design of low power LED lighting apparatus exists a major issue. The new SMEs particularly involved in this area appears to be lacking. The end result is that large enterprises have become the center of the LED industry.
On the other hand, in the production of raw materials is relatively weak. Because most of the raw materials are imported Korea, it is imperative that the material components and technology development.
In order to improve these problems and deficiencies, the South Korean government to develop the appropriate policies. In addition to the new LED lighting applications design-related doctoral program in three to four universities before 2011, but also plans to LED related engineering practice education centers, training more than 480 education students, graduates through internships recommended LED business office and so on.
Samsung Group, Samsung LED. In 2009, the company has about 100 sets of MOCVD integral LED chip manufacturing equipment, the monthly production increased to 600 million. After started MOCVD equipment imported second half of 2009, from the second quarter of 2010 began to yield rapid growth, increased to 1.5 billion monthly scale. In addition, LGInnotek also in October 2010 in Paju, South Korea built a LED plant will be expanded in the future to produce 1.8 billion in size.
With the full participation of the expansion of the industry, as well as Samsung Group and LG Group and other global companies, South Korea's LED industry has entered mass production can be realized to build industrial infrastructure in an early stage. Thus, LED industry transition to the inevitable inter-enterprise fierce price competition.
