MRRSE LED Driver and Chipset Market : Facts, Figures and | Page 3

Increasing demand for lighting and display appliances having an extended lifespan and less power consumption are the major factors responsible for the enormous use of LED devices which in turn is responsible for robust growth of LED Driver and chipset market. The average lifespan of a LED is 50000 hours and utilizes a fraction of energy as used by traditional display and lighting devices whereas an incandescent bulb lasts for 1200 hours and a CFL lasts for 8000 hours. Moreover, LEDs use less power (watt) per unit of light generated (lumen). Thus, the extended lifespan and less power consumption have boosted the demand of LEDs which in turn is driving the global LED driver and chipset market. In addition, different initiatives such as Green Paper "Lighting the Future" (COM(2011)889) has been taken by the government across different parts of the world such as the US, the
