GLEN ALLEN, Va., May 14, 2012  /PRNewswire/ -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today has announced the addition of a new report to its publication schedule titled LED Phosphor Markets – 2012 (Nano-541) that will be released the week of May 28th.  The report is available at pre-publication rates through May 29th.  For additional information about the report people can visit the NanoMarkets website: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/led_phosphor_markets_2012

About the Report:

In some countries, LEDs are expected to be the dominant general lighting technology by the end of the decade.  The primary driver for this transition is the high efficiency and long lifetimes of LED lighting and a major reason that many governments around the world are promoting their use through the regulatory process.

Nevertheless, this shift in technology use has not been entirely welcomed by consumers, primarily because LEDs often render colors poorly compared with the traditional incandescent bulb.   Another concern is the warmth or coolness of LED light, which is not always judged attractive by consumers.  Also, variations in LED color temperature vary with viewing angle, sometimes making the experience of being in an LED -lighted room less than satisfactory.

Most LED manufacturers now see these issues as being critical to the long-term success of LED lighting creating a major opportunity for firms making the LED lighting phosphors that control the color rendering and color temperatures of the LEDs.  Makers of phosphor materials and related products can expect the same high growth that the LED lighting market is enjoying.  In addition, NanoMarkets believes that the LED lighting market is still open to new kinds of proprietary phosphor solutions, with the potential for phosphor firms to build their brands and create protectable IP.

This new NanoMarkets report provides an in-depth analysis and forecast of the LED phosphor market in the next eight years.  It builds off the extensive experience that NanoMarkets has in the area of solid-state lighting and related materials. 

This report examines the latest market strategies, products and technical developments in the area of LED phosphors.  We identify how performance improvements are likely to help grow addressable markets for phosphors, with an especial focus on general illumination, outdoor/street lighting and backlighting and where the opportunities are to be found to make money in the LED phosphor market.

The report also includes NanoMarkets' assessments of the strategies of leading firms active in the LED phosphors space.  And, as always with NanoMarkets reports, this report contains granular eight-year forecasts of the inorganic LED phosphors shipments in volume and value terms, with breakouts by type of phosphor.  This report is required reading, not just for strategy planners at phosphor firms, but for those throughout the solid-state lighting industry.
