In\nthat period, LED products were taking place in the market rather as components.\nIn this context, we have structured our fair to exhibit LED and RFID products\ntogether by the brand \u201cLED-RFID Fair\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coexistence\nof these two subjects might seem strange today. One of the words that define\nthe development of LED products over 10 years is \u201cstrange\u201d. When saying\nstrange, I do not intend to use it as a negative definition. We can use\n\u201csurprising\u201d instead of strange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I\nconsider surveys that I started at 2005 and the state of things now, LED\nproducts would be at the top of the list among products that \u201ccause radical\nchanges\u201d. In fact, I would rank LED products at the top of the list for\nproducts that influence certain industries other than the industry called by\nits own name (LED industry) and \u201ccause radical changes in more than one\nindustry\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Summary of\nthe ground covered by LED&amp;Lighting Fair during 10 years as a result of the\nworks which began in 2005 is as follows;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could not\nreach general information domestically when I first started to examine LED\nproducts. It was not possible for me to reach any Turkish document other than\npartial information on industrial companies. By examining studies abroad, we\nhave started to make a study that defines LED products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As a result of the study after much effort on\nour part, we have formed the \u201cfirst Turkish LED\nINDUSTRY LIST\u201d. <\/strong>Wehave formed the documents that\ndescribe products. When examined today, this may seem like an easy work but\n\u201cfirst definition of the industry\u201d is difficult for each industry. Later on,\nthis work naturally became easier. Today, any colleague related LED Fair or LED\npublicity can make these definitions easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was\nnot the most difficult issue about LED. After starting to organize the fair, we\nhave seen in communication we made with industrial companies that the industry\nalso shared our excitement and accepted the fair right from the start. However,\nthe main difficult was to communicate this fair to visitors. First reaction to\nthe concept of LED FAIR was the question of \u201cwhat LED is\u201d. Most relevant\nquestion was \u201cis there any LED TV?\u201dWe\nstruggled to communicate our fair to visitors in that period, but today our\nLED&amp;LED Lighting Fair has become a fair with one of the most visitor\nparticipation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According\nto my observation, LED products have developed in the course of 10 years by\nshowing extraordinary variations in every year considering previous year. LED\nproducts which took place in the market 10 years ago by being only components\nhave become products that severely change lighting industry and visual\nadvertising industry. It was hard to estimate this change 10 years ago, even\nthose who estimated could not predict the size of this change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most\nuseful evaluation to see the evolution of LED products is possible by analyzing\nthe international development of fairs which reflect the industry. There were\nvery few fairs using the word LED in 2007. Along with 1-2 small-scaled\norganizations held at Europe by CONFEX (Conference-Fair), there were also few\nfairs with maximum 2,000 square meters that have been organized in the Far East\nfor niche industry. There was not any fair worth to visit coming from Turkey. In\nthe upcoming years, we have started to visit the Far East after one particular\nfair came to the forefront. Later on, we have visited some very large-scaled\nfairs. LED lighting has constituted maximum 15% of those fairs. LED existence\nin large-scaled lighting fairs has reached from 10-15% up to 90% in the time\npassed from 2011 to 2015. Today, it nearly is impossible to find in those fairs\nany lighting product other than LED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This example\nI gave about fairs basically shows the development rate of the market related\nto LED products. When usage rates of LED lighting 5 years ago and today are\ncompared, the difference is enormous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine where LED products will be 10 years later\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feridun Bayram<br>General Manager<br>Marmara Fair Org.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have encountered a product called LED when we make researches in order to add new projects into the portfolio of Marmara Fair Organization which I am the manager of.
