NEMA’s index for compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) shipments registered a year-over-year decline of 14.5 percent in the third quarter of 2014 despite a modest quarterly increase of 1.5 percent. For the first three quarters of 2014, the CFL index decreased 13.1 percent compared to the same period last year. The shipments index for incandescent A-line lamps posted a decline of 62.9 percent (q/q). In contrast, shipments of LED A-line and halogen A-line lamps continued to grow, showing quarterly gains of 53.8 and 37.7 percent, respectively.
The proliferation of halogen A-line lamp shipments, and subsequent decline in shipments of incandescent A-line lamps, has resulted in an increase in market share for halogen A-line lamps. Halogen A-line lamps captured a share of 39.9 percent during the quarter, second only to CFLs, which continued to hold a narrow lead with a 41.1 percent share. The share of LED lamp shipments was 5.1 percent, an increase of 2 percentage points. Incandescent A-line lamps fell nearly 20 points to a share of 13.6 percent.
