Interest in LED lighting is heating up in China, where potential energy savings amounting to twice the power output of the Three Gorges dam project are predicted to drive sales to between three and five times current levels over the next four years, according to component distributor AVNET.
According to the company, China is already the world's biggest producer of lighting products; however, its LED manufacturers face significant design and production challenges in meeting local demand as well as catering to international market requirements.
"LED Lighting is still an emerging product in China. However, the combination of a steep learning curve and the rapid pace of technological developments make entering the market doubly challenging," said Francis Lam, director of Asia Marketing for Avnet Electronics Marketing Asia.
In conjunction with Korea's Seoul Semiconductor, Avnet Electronics Marketing is organizing a series of seminars in November and December in Zhongshan in southern China to help Chinese firms participate in the potentially huge LED market.
