LED Manufacturing in the US industry analysis
The LED manufacturing sector is amid a transformative phase marked by innovation, governmental support and challenges that are intrinsic to high-tech industries. Government and private sector incentives have helped shape the industry's direction. Along with numerous rebate programs, a complete ban on the sale of incandescent bulbs has propelled the demand for LED products at an estimated CAGR of 2.3% from 2019 to 2024, when they are expected to have reached $1.95 billion. Support from industry associations and utility companies has fortified the sector’s foundation, enabling access to resources and knowledge sharing that fuel growth and competitiveness. Growth is anticipated to be 0.4% in 2024.
Trends and Insights
- LED manufacturers are locked in a competition to create a superior-quality, energy-efficient and cost-effective product. A manufacturer able to produce an LED product with at least two of these three attributes will have a significant advantage over the competition.
- LED modules are the building blocks of any LED product and make up the bulk of demand. They are essential for both industry-produced products and any custom product produced by downstream markets.
- LED manufacturers have primarily flocked to the West region to be in close proximity to the broader tech industry. Silicon Valley is the cradle of tech innovation in the US and its location near a major West coast port facilitates trade with many of the silicon manufacturing centers in Asia.
- The competitiveness of LED manufacturers is continually in flux. One manufacturer often gains market share and then is overtaken by another as technical innovations continue to proliferate.
