Research: February LED bulb prices in the United States significantly lower the price rise in South Korea

According to a study conducted by research institute LEDinside, global LED bulb prices have slightly changed in February this year. South Korea once lowered the price trend, replacing the price of traditional 40-watt LED bulbs by 7%, while replacing the traditional 60-watt incandescent bulb vendors, they maintain their original prices. However, the United Kingdom, Japan, and the United States continued to decline. In particular, the US two light bulbs showed a decline of more than 10%.

LEDinside said that the average international price of replacing traditional 40W incandescent light bulb products remained at US$ 19.6, which was mainly affected by the 7% increase in South Korean prices, as inventory in the region was cleared and the minimum terminal price was returned to more than US$ 10. However, the United States had a 19% decline, the price came to 18 US dollars, Japan, the United Kingdom price is a slight decline, the decline was 2%, 1%.

Replacing the 60-watt LED bulb segment, LEDinside pointed out that the current international average selling price reached US$33.6, a drop of about 5%, of which the United States suffered the largest decline in price, falling by 14%, followed by Japan, with a drop of approximately 5%. LEDinside analyzed the reasons for the price drop, mainly because the prices of the original low-priced products in the United States and Japan remained stable, but the prices of high-priced products continued to fall, but South Korea’s prices were unchanged because the first-line branded products still maintained their original prices.

In February, the overall retail price of LED bulbs declined less sharply. Among them, Asia did not continue its sharp decline last month. Instead, it gradually moved towards a stable level, even in South Korea. In the United States, it replaced 40 watts and 60 watts. Some of the commodity prices have dropped sharply. The average price of 40-watt LED bulbs has dropped to 18 US dollars. It is expected to become the most competitive region after South Korea, and the country’s manufacturers have begun to use price-competitive card slot LED lighting market.

LEDinside believes that the number of products that meet the quality and technical standards in the market is gradually increasing, blindly reducing prices and seizing the market slowdown. This means that manufacturers in various countries are also pursuing product features and increasing cost performance while maintaining price stability. For example, LEDinside said that the price of Toshiba’s new E-CORE LDT7 series, which was introduced in the first quarter of 2012, is not low, but the 7-watt product has an emission angle of 300 degrees, even Mitsubishi Electric’s subsequent LDA8 and LDA11. The light emitting angle reaches 330 degrees, and all of them belong to the light beam angle full beam product. Because of the high price, these products are difficult to carry out quickly due to market acceptance, and it takes time to test them. However, the full-beam luminous angle appeal is precisely the effect to be applied when it is applied in homes and indoor spaces. The importance of product characteristics will increasingly exceed the price. Above, this will be the focus that can be observed later.
