The LED Lighting Deal Landscape Is Growing, But Not Matching Expectations

Although significant led high bay light for sale has already occurred across the LED value chain, further consolidation will be required for the market to mature to a stable state.

Some of the drivers of this process will be achieving economies of scale, cost reductions, sustainable market share and access to innovative IP to meet rising output requirements. This will further increase the likelihood of deal activity to 2018. Memoori recently released a research report on investment activity in the LED sector, finding that deal activity has not met expectations set a couple of years ago.

Both overall VC Investment flows and cleantech-specific VC funding were on a downward trend in 2012 and 2013; however, of all the cleantech sectors, energy efficiency companies continued to attract the most VC investment throughout 2013.

According to data from the Cleantech Group, led street light with solar panel soaked up 19 percent of all venture investments during the first six months of 2013. The number of energy efficiency deals rose 45 percent in the second quarter for a total of 79 through June.
