4Q 2011 (Pike Research)

"Lighting is a major driver of electricity consumption within commercial buildings, industrial and government facilities, traffic signals, and signs. However, light-emitting diode (LED) products have come to be regarded as energy-efficient, advanced, and long-lasting alternatives for commercial and industrial lighting applications in the Asia Pacific region. Energy-efficient products are still an expensive means of lighting for Asia Pacific customers; yet, the higher costs are justified by the higher efficacy and performance compared to traditional lighting options."

"Along with price competition among LED lighting suppliers, the market perception has dramatically changed, and LED is now viewed as an affordable and efficient technology with long-term benefits. And in most Asia Pacific markets, governments are committing large amounts of funding to basic infrastructure, creating an abundance of business opportunities."
