Competing in the Global LED Industry: The Case of Taiwan

Abstract

Light-emitting diode (LED) is a very essential application for energy-savings nowadays. The revenue of the Taiwan LED components industry is ranked top one in the world, followed by that of Japan and South Korea. Based on the advantage of their electronics industry, Taiwanese LED companies create a unique model to compete with the international firms. Large international LED companies achieve economies of scale by vertically integrating their operations. Taiwanese LED companies specialize and achieve an optimal efficiency by vertically disintegrating across the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors in the value chains. Taiwanese LED companies create economies of scale and economies of scope through a complete industrial value chain.

“…1) are a very essential application for energy-saving nowadays. 1 LEDs possess many favorable characteristics, such as higher luminosity at low currents and voltages, longer service life, versatility in a variety of colors, environmental friendliness, higher resistance to vibration, and higher tolerance to repeated power switching. [2][3][4] Currently, LEDs have been widely applied in many elds, including displaying, ordinary illumination, communications, medical services and demonstration.…”

“…While LEDs were originally invented in the United States, Shuji Nakamura from Japan's Nichia Corporation made enormous scientific advances in LEDs in the early 1990s and catapulted Japan into a leading market position. Prior to 2010, Japan maintained this technical leadership, capturing more than 50% of market share (Su 2014). In 2010, lowerpriced products helped Taiwanese, South Korean, and Chinese firms gain market share, and Japan for the first time garnered less than 50%.…”
