South East Asia - The Target Market for LEDs 

Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness the fastest growth rate in LED lighting after Europe and North America. LED lighting in Southeast Asia has strongly developed in recent years, and has gradually strengthened to replace traditional lighting. It is expected that along with the policy incentives followed by escalating replacement market demand, LED lighting would witness far deeper penetration leading to a rather expanded import scale in the next few years, turning it as a major hub for manufacturers across the globe exporting LED lighting products.

Why Thailand? 

There's no denial to the fact that as Thailand continues to implement its new energy framework that's stable, sustainable and affordable; opportunities for LED lighting products & components' manufacturers as well as suppliers would be getting unfolded in abundance. According to statistics, the Thailand lighting market valued at US$ 800 million, in 2014, up 12% compared to 2013. The country's LED industry is estimated to grow over 30% in the next five years with indoor and construction applications consisting two major components of the country's LED lighting industry.

Moreover, Thailand is ranked as the 50th largest country in the world as a part of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and ASEAN's Economic Community along with nine other countries namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam. The aim of AEC for 2015 is to create a single ASEAN market with gross domestic product (GDP) of $2.5 trillion and trade of $1 trillion. Also, Thailand has long been a proponent of free and fair trade and its attractiveness as a production base for leading international companies is enhanced by a number of free trade agreements.

Amidst all this, the rapid growth of energy saving needs in the country for the last 4 years has resulted in a great success for LED Expo Thailand. In the past editions of the show, 1,755 international visitors from 63 countries such as China, Australia, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and India, whose business transactions generated over 800 million THB in revenue had taken part and went back to their country fully satisfied and with a lot of business potentials in their kitties.
