From the global market scale figures, 2017 UV LED up to about 280 million US dollars, is expected to exceed the entire UV light market 1/3.
2017, UV LED market and applications will show a rapid development trend.
Looking around, more and more enterprises at home and abroad to rush into this sub-areas. From the global market scale figures, the 2017 UV LED up to about 280 million US dollars, is expected to exceed the entire UV light market 1 / 3. 2020 more view of 526 million US dollars, 2015-2020 compound growth rate (CAGR) Up to 34%.
The rapid development of the market, from the policy point of view, Minamata Convention, energy-saving concessions and other promotional efforts contributed. From the technical development point of view, the 2017 deep UV LED external quantum efficiency will also be increased to about 15%, room temperature output power will be more than 30mW, which will accelerate the UV LED sterilization and purification in the field of penetration.
At the same time, due to the increasingly diversified application of visible light LED, LED industry also will appear new business opportunities. Among them, UV LED products continue to import curing, printing and exposure and other applications.
According to observation, UV LED according to the application point of view, mainly for UV-A LED used in light curing market, which in turn need to high radiation illumination lithography, high uniform light exposure machine application market the most sought after. In addition, some special curing market demand has gradually emerged.
In the international, to ultraviolet LED packaging revenue point of view, Japan and South Korea manufacturers sit tight in the top five, followed by Nichia, Nitride Semiconductors, Seoul Viosys, LG Innotek and USHIO / Epitex. Looking back 2016, UV LED manufacturers are still the main revenue from the UV-A LED, some manufacturers have crossed the light curing module market, to further expand the source of income.
Looking ahead 2017 manufacturers performance, South Korean manufacturers will publish a series of UV-C LED products, estimated to be substantial contribution to revenue, revenue ranking is expected to re-shuffle.
In China, with the rapid increase in the level of semiconductor lighting technology, domestic and international advanced level gap in further narrowing. Data show that deep ultraviolet LED technology to further enhance its 280nm deep UV LED room temperature continuous output power of more than 20 mW, in the world advanced level.
In mid-June this year, in Taiwan, China held 2017 Taipei International Optoelectronics Week, UV LED (UV LED) application has become a major highlight of the show. It is reported that Taiwan factory in view of the red light blue LED situation, but also actively layout UV LED.
