LED Encapsulation Market Analysis
The LED encapsulation market was valued at USD 1.49 billion in 2020, and it is expected to reach USD 1.92 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 4.24% during the forecast period (2021 - 2026). The growth of LEDs in segments such as handheld devices, mobile phones, display backlights, automotive, and electronic signs, has led to an increase in demand for enhanced performance and long-term reliability, which is further dependent on the technological advancement of the LED packaging market.
- LEDs have been accepted as an integral part of electronics as a low powered light source. The semiconductor chip in a LED is sensitive and needs protection from moisture, physical damage, and outside elements. Moreover, electrodes may undergo oxidation and work inefficiently if not protected from moisture and oxygen.
- Encapsulation primarily caters to these problems and effectively elongates the life of the LEDs. Special encapsulation materials allow heat dissipation through them while providing protection from fluids and chemicals. Owing to these properties, LED Encapsulation has found its application in various industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, and telecommunication.
- Moreover, global warming has created a huge need for conserving energy, especially for lighting which represents roughly 19% of the world's electricity annual consumption (European Commission, 2018). With LED systems being frequently used in a much broader range of applications, encapsulation is continually providing support for this ever-evolving industry, with continuous advancement and development specifically for the LED market.
- The growth of the market is driven by demand for longer life of LEDs and the need for protection from moisture & chemicals. Moreover, protection from solder joint fatigue in chip-based LED is expected to further augment the growth of this market.
- With regard to TV display application, the industry is shifting from the usage of LED to OLED (Organic Light-emitting diode), which is the most advanced innovation and is supposed to penetrate more into the market. This inclination might hinder the volume growth of the LED packaging market and, thus, the encapsulation market.
