An LED is a semiconductor device/light source that emits visible light or infrared light when an electric charge passes through it. LEDs are primarily used in indicator lamps and for other types of lighting such as that used in billboard signs, TV remotes, and brake lights of vehicles. Initially, LEDs would only emit a low-intensity red light. Currently, however, LEDs are available across the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared wavelengths. They work on the principle of electroluminescence, wherein the color of illumination is determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor. A UV LED displays an ultraviolet light; its wavelength is less than 400 nm. The compact nature and superior performance of UV LEDs is driving new and innovative applications including:

Like the majority of developed markets, desktop and notebook volumes declined sharply in 2012 and 2013 as tablet sales cannibalised those of traditional form factors. However tablet penetration remains relatively low in Germany, indicating further growth potential. There should also be a boost to desktop sales in 2014 due to withdrawal of Microsoft support for XP. These features combine to underpin our view for stronger hardware spending growth in 2014 compared with 2013. Meanwhile, software and services spending growth is forecast to outperform hardware spending in 2014 - and over the medium term to 2018 - as increased adoption of emerging technologies such as cloud computing, machine-to-machine communications and big data analytics drive spending higher. Cloud computing is a particularly interesting market segment, with opportunities for local providers or global firms with a local presence, to capitalise on the negative impact of the Patriot Act and PRISM on perceptions of US providers.

Application of large-area LCD panels includes notebook PCs, LCD monitors, and LCD TVs. It is expected that LCD TVs will be the only end-user products managing to have a slight growth in 2014. LCD TVs also play a crucial role in panel makers' capacity utilization and shipment surface area, taking up over 75% of the shipment area. Due to this reason, LCD panel makers have been eager to establish a strong foothold in the LCD TV market. This report profiles four major product trends observed in the LCD TV industry, including new screen sizes, large-screen TVs, UHD LCD TVs, and curved-screen TVs, together with panel makers' product strategies.

The outlook for US IT spending is strong relative to the majority of developed markets over the medium term , as a result of stronger economic performance and a greater appetite from enterprises for the latest products and solutions. Cloud computing, real-time enterprise software, security and big data are all areas of spending in which we expect to see rapid growth , particularly in the latter years of our forecast. the retail hardware outlook is more mixed, as we expect continued demand growth for tablets in the retail market; however, desktop and notebook sales continue to be squeezed. There is also potential for deeper fiscal retrenchment to hit government IT spending. The NSA PRISM scandal continues to produce fallout amid concerns about data security in the cloud computing market. Total spending is expected to reach USD665 bn in 201 4 , up 5. 3 % from 201 3 , and grow at a CAGR of 4.4 % 2014- 201 8.

The development of the Slovenian IT market was stymied in 2012 and 2013 by the challenging economic environment. W e expect it will continue to exhibit slow growth in 2014 , with a fragile recovery only gaining momentum through the second half of the year. Despite the major challenges faced in recent years the IT market has performed relatively well, and as confidence returns there will be opportunities for vendors. Privatisations by the government, the wider trend of m odernisation of enterprises and public administration underpin our forecast for a CAGR of 3.3% between 2014 and 2018. Enterprise spending growth will be the strongest area of the market, especially newer technologies such as cloud computing, but we also highlight opportunities in the retail market. Tablet penetration is low, at just 13.8% in 2013, indicating significant growth potential remains in the market.

Sweden's IT market growth will underperform emerging markets in the region over the medium term, but in the context of market maturity IT spending growth is forecast to remain robust. We base our outlook on a supportive economic environment, a strong local system of software firms and the strength of supporting data network infrastructure. We identify d ata centres, cloud computing, and real-time business software and services as medium-term growth trends in Sweden. There is also upside potential due to a boom in Nordic data centre development - a result of cost and legal advantages - which could be given additional momentum by the ongoing process of harmonising EU regulations on data security and privacy.

Kuwait's IT market has a bright medium term outlook as one of the most lucrative markets in the region. Kuwait had one of the highest GDP per capita levels in the world at the end of 2013, and with only 2% of its population residing in rural areas the retail hardware market has proved fertile ground for premium vendors such as Apple . As a result , we are confident that IT spending will continue to increase over our forecast period, projected to come in at KWD296mn in 2014. We expect the sector will continue to feel the benefits of the Kuwaiti economy 's strong performance in 2014, with non-oil growth expected to accelerate on the back of strong domestic demand and a modest pick-up in government capital spending.

Investment in the Russian data centre and cloud computing market has been strong in the first half of 2014, backed by a well-developed telecoms sector, skilled IT professionals, large internet population and opportunities for outsourcing. This is indicative of our strong medium-term outlook for Russia's IT market, as we see growth potential in devices and enterprise solutions. State intervention is helping to promote IT development but excessive regulation of the internet could also result in the industry losing its lustre. Similarly, joining the WTO and the Information Technology Agreement (ITA) should help the industry, but Russia lags behind in terms of IPR enforcement and online piracy has been, and remains, a significant problem in Russia. Our short-term outlook is weaker following our macroeconomic and IT forecast downgrades in the Q214 update. Pressure on retail hardware sales as a result of competition from low-cost tablets, meaning value growth will fail to keep pace with unit growth over the medium term.
