LED TV penetration rate for 2013 has the possibility to reach 90% with Chinese television manufactures playing the key role. LEDinside predict that the 71.3% penetration rate for 2012 will reach 90% in 2013, raising the rate to 91.4%. China’s six major television brands in the LED Backlight market have a possibility of reaching 95% permeability in 2013. China’s television backlight companies have a high possibility of becoming strong competitors for Korean, Taiwanese, and Chinese packaging companies. In the past, supply chains for television backlighting have been dominated by Taiwanese and Korean packaging companies, but China has been hot on their heels. With improvements being made to packaging technology and holding superiority in price, it’s worth observing whether or not China will be able to replace Taiwan and Korea as the leader in the backlight market.
