NanoMarkets Announces Release of OLED Lighting: Companies, Products and Strategies - 2012 Market Report

NanoMarkets has announced the release of its latest report on OLED lighting titled “OLED Lighting: Companies, Products and Strategies - 2012.”

Glen Allen, Virginia - May 9, 2012 -- NanoMarkets has announced the release of its latest report on OLED lighting titled “OLED Lighting: Companies, Products and Strategies - 2012.” NanoMarkets projects that the OLED luminaire market will reach $6.4 billion ($US) by 2017 and within the report shows how far the OLED lighting industry has developed in the last two years. The report notes that OLED luminaires are available at affordable prices and a surprisingly large number of major electronics and lighting companies have developed plans to take OLED lighting into the mainstream general lighting market. Performance criteria for OLED lighting are close to acceptable for many real world applications.

This report analyzes in depth the product/market strategies of leaders of the OLED space including; Acuity Brands, AUO/Lextar, Blackbody, First-o-Lite, GE, Kaneka, Konica Minolta, LG, Lumiotec, Mitsubishi, Moser Baer, NEC, Novaled, Osram, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer, Samsung, Sumitomo, Visionox and WAC Lighting. The report also provides insight into the strategies of smaller and emerging companies in this space.


The firm recently released its forecast of the OLED lighting global market. Details of that report are available here: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/nanomarkets_oled_lighting_market_forecast_q2_2012

Highlights from the Report:

One of the main selling features claimed for OLED lighting is “energy efficiency.” Two years ago, OLED lighting wasn't very efficient, offering around 20 lm/W. Today, it is much closer to CFLs and LEDs as OLED lighting panels now routinely reach 45 lm/W to 65 lm/W. Prominent OLED lighting firms are confident that they will soon offer panels in the 100-150 lm/W range, which would then enable OLED lighting to rapidly penetrate general lighting markets. Firms that have announced superior efficiency performance in product roadmaps include Panasonic, LG and Philips.

OLED lights already compete with CFLs on lifetimes but remain challenged by LEDs. Still OLED lighting lifetimes continue to improve rapidly. Philips believes that OLED lighting panels will reach 40,000 hours by 2018. LG says it can reach this by 2015.

Firms in the OLED lighting space see office lighting as an early revenue generator. For this to happen, panels must be much larger than they are today. Major OLED lighting firms expect progress in this area soon. The often-conservative Philips plans 1 m x 1 m panels by 2018; Panasonic will have 600 x 600-mm panels by 2019. The Korean firm, Jusung Engineering has already built a 730 x 920-mm panel, although not as a commercial product.

There is a revival of interest in solution processing as a way of producing low-cost OLED lighting panels to profitably meet the price points of general lighting. Although GE’s efforts in this area are behind schedule, Sumitomo's announcement that it is making a strong effort to print OLED lighting panels has given new life to printing OLED lighting panels. The Pioneer/Mitsubishi alliance is also developing a printing process for some layers of its panel.

NanoMarkets Releases New Report Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market - 2012

NanoMarkets today announced the release of its latest report on the organic photovoltaics market (OPV) titled, “Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market - 2012.”

Glen Allen, Virginia - May 9, 2012 -- NanoMarkets today announced the release of its latest report on the organic photovoltaics market (OPV) titled, “Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market - 2012.” In the report the industry is facing a make or break scenario within the next two years if it hopes to capitalize on an opportunity that could be worth over $700 million ($US) by 2019.


The firm recently released a report on the dye sensitized cell PV market in late April of this year. Details of that report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/dye_sensitized_cell_markets_2012

About the Report:

This report is designed to help both materials and panel/product manufacturers identify the available opportunities for generating revenue from OPV. It includes detailed eight-year forecasts for volumes, in power output and/or area terms and revenues, resulting from sales both of the materials used to manufacture OPV modules, as well as the revenues from sales of the OPV modules themselves. The OPV materials forecasts are broken out by material type - donors, acceptors, HTLs/EBLs, electrodes, substrates, and encapsulation technologies - and the OPV modules forecasts broken out by PV application - portable charging, embedded electronics, BIPV/BAPV, AIPV, and so on.

The report also contains a discussion of some of the key players in the DSC marketplace, including Konarka, Heliatek, Solarmer, New Energy Technologies, BASF, Agfa, IMEC, Solvay, Global Photonic Energy, Solarpress, Eight19, Mitsubishi, Polyera, Heraeus, Merck, and others.

From the Report:

The OPV market continues to struggle to get off the ground. The last year has produced a few bright spots - some new investments, some modest performance enhancements, additional demonstration and/or niche product launches, etc. - but the industry still needs a big breakthrough, or at least a clear path toward a larger-area or larger-scale application that can take OPV to the next level commercially.

The value propositions that have been claimed for OPV continue to get harder and harder to make: efficiencies are still very low in commercial products, costs are still very high, flexible encapsulation is still a problem, and a big market pull for portable, small-scale charging has not materialized. Meanwhile, development and commercialization of OPV’s closest “third generation” competitor, DSC PV, has outpaced that of OPV, especially in the larger-area BIPV and other grid-connected sectors. BIPV and related applications are important because they offer large enough volumes for OPV to break out commercially, recover the already-sunk investment costs, enable cost-reducing economies of scale, and establish long-term viability for the OPV industry.

NanoMarkets thinks that time for OPV may be running out. OPV firms must now move quickly or get left behind in these larger markets. We believe that the next two years will be the years in which OPV must finally prove itself in the PV market, both from a technical and cost perspective, or be relegated to permanent “specialty” status and an addressable market of no more than a few megawatts (MW) at best.
