Bid farewell to the hubbub and impetuous LED industry hopes to return to reason

Support and subsidies, the country is an important support for a sunrise industry, the LED industry has caused "government subsidies" to "enterprise quanqian as" all sorts of criticism.

Facing various difficult problems: excessive investment, overcapacity, industrial development is not balanced, low price competition, government support in the end is exhausted or inject positive energy? By the support of the enterprise is caught on the policy of the spring breeze or hard to catch up on the shelves?

Is more than this, and do not say the technology support enterprises to, only the current financial subsidies mainly upstream of the situation, if the capacity is fully released, far less than the market expected to downstream to digest? Will only leave the LED industry reality is very skinny ideal is full of sad sigh?

Policy support spare no effort

Because the LED industry has a huge economic and social benefits, the main developed countries and regions in the world have made the development plan, led the research and development, investment in various countries and regions continue to increase, promote the rapid development of LED industry.

China's LED industry in recent years, the average annual growth rate of more than 20%, with the support of local governments at all levels, LED Industrial Park springing up.

China's 12th Five-Year frequent LED subsidy policy, a time set off the LED industry boom. The reporter learned that, at present China's LED industry has formed four major areas (the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, Fujian Jiangxi area, north area), seven base (Dalian, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Nanchang, Xiamen, Yangzhou, Shijiazhuang) industrial pattern.

The north of Jilin Province, Changchun city plans to use 5 years, 6 billion yuan investment in the construction of national LED Industrial Park, the development of LED epitaxial wafer production, chip preparation, chip package industry focus, and vigorously promote the semiconductor lighting industry. The pattern of semiconductor lighting industry in Heilongjiang province has been initially formed, the industrial chain has been gradually improved, the industrial characteristics are distinct, the scale and influence of the industry has expanded rapidly, which has become an important strategic emerging industry in the province.

On the Pearl River Delta region, released in March, Guangdong strategic emerging industry development in 12th Five-Year plan, the official LED industry will be included in the development of key. Guangdong total investment of 388 billion 588 million yuan to build major projects of strategic emerging industries, of which LED industry total investment of 11 billion 636 million yuan in.

On the Yangtze River Delta region, well-known enterprises have settled in Wujin, highlighting the advantages of cluster, and gradually become a complete industrial chain, a high degree of industrial agglomeration, downstream and coordinated development of related industries in the semiconductor lighting industry agglomeration district.

In addition, China's 863 plan has been to support the localization of major equipment LED, the implementation of the four ministries of domestic LED equipment exemption from the relevant parts of the tariff and import value-added tax.

"In the country to support the development of major technical equipment and product catalog (2012 Amendment)" of the semiconductor light emitting diode (LED) production equipment for the 3 kinds of new equipment, are: metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), indium tin oxide, plasma etching machine (ITO) sputtering system, see table 1 show. In accordance with the "notice" provisions, since April 1, 2012, all qualified domestic enterprises for the production of the three types of equipment or products, and it is necessary to import key parts and raw material goods, tariff and import value-added tax.

Grasp the policy of enterprises can not be blind expansion

Local policies really attracted a large number of companies competing to enter, but companies must not blindly attract investment policy, which is likely to cause a lot of waste of resources. At present, most of the government subsidies LED upstream, and LED upstream production capacity so far has not been fully released, once all put into operation, the entire industry will face greater pressure.

On the surface, China's LED lighting industry related technology R & D investment continued to grow, but compared with foreign companies R & D costs, or not enough. The accumulation of capital and the accumulation of technology has long plagued the LED industry. To local governments through policy support and promote the LED technology innovation development and investment in stimulating economic development in the mainland at the same time, apparently underestimated the difficulty of LED development in such an interdisciplinary fields of technology intensive industries.

Thus, the support of the government policy should be more inclined to the field of research and development, rather than direct subsidies to stimulate the order, otherwise it may cause false prosperity of this industry and investment. Through the correct guidance to strengthen the interaction of the LED industry chain, and promote the application of LED in various fields is the government's macroeconomic regulation and control of the road.

LED also need to follow the path of sustainable development

LED as emerging industries favored by various capital. But have to admit that China's current LED market is not healthy, technology is not mature, the cost can not be guaranteed, inferior products flooding the market, consumers are not mature and the vicious competition in the enterprise blind landing in bad market.

In this case, the government, enterprises must be rational to treat LED. If the government's only large-scale mandatory promotion LED light source, the lack of mature technology, will eventually lead to the destruction of the market, and give people a bad impression, for LED lighting development is counterproductive. Companies around the country have launched large-scale LED projects, but also fell LED big but not strong international impression.

Therefore, under the premise of respecting market rules
