Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia and India and other places into LED lighting export market

By the European debt crisis in 2012 LED market, and the global economic impact, the mature markets of Europe and Japan for actively into the LED lighting market of international brands, leading many general LED manufacturers face export these mature market difficulties, but also because China LED manufacturers in the domestic market demand has not been substantial off really, can to obtain a key project, the standard case manufacturers is relatively less in overseas exports to emerging market actively. TrendForce's international research institutions under the LED LEDinside research department pointed out, including Russia, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Africa and other countries or regions, for LED lighting products demand is obviously rising, there are more opportunities for cross-strait LED operators.

Russia's accession to the WTO, the import tariff rate down

LEDinside said that Russia's LED lighting penetration rate continued to increase, the long term, the Russian LED lighting market in the world the proportion of 1% to 5%, increased year by year, LED lighting market in the country and neighboring countries the growth rate, by 2014, the annual compound annual growth rate will reach 34%. The main reason for Russia to improve LED lighting applications is energy efficiency and optimal electricity expenditure. Russian lighting market will be more than 600 million euros, of which more than half of the commercial and consumer areas, the other part of the public space, outdoor lighting.

Due to Russia's accession to the WTO, import tariffs have a certain decline, which makes the cost of foreign LED products exported to the Russian market is reduced, which is conducive to expanding the profit margins of LED companies

Thailand zero tariff, LED lighting project demand

2012 Thailand lighting market size of about $250 million, LED penetration rate of about 10%, is expected in the year to 2015, LED lighting market penetration in Thailand will increase to more than 45%. Currently, the Thailand government is actively LED lighting project, the demand for LED increased. At present, as long as the Chinese LED enterprises to obtain proof of origin in China, LED products exported to Thailand can enjoy zero tariffs, but exports to Thailand light source products to go through the certification system in Thailand to verify the line.

In addition, LEDinside noted that the vast majority of Thailand is a tropical monsoon climate, year-round hot and rainy, exports to the country's products need to strengthen the protection of heat and moisture. LED companies can also consider the LED emergency lights, flashlights and other portable equipment exported to the country.

Vietnam investment in infrastructure construction, LED lighting promising

Vietnam, the government announced the "2011-2020 National City Development Plan" draft, hope that in 2015 the city level will reach 38%, which is the new LED lighting exports, has been on both sides of the industry to enter the individual Vietnam market, promotion of public space lighting, factory lighting and application demand, long-term use of LED lighting system comparison good.

India LED lamp outdoor use space

India lighting products including traditional lighting, LED lighting, about 80% of the products from China, and the India government is planning to improve the traditional lighting system to LED lighting system for the proportion is expected by the end of 2015, India LED lighting market compound annual growth rate will reach 41%.

Africa LED lighting market rise dark horse

In Africa, about 90% of the rural population has no power supply, and many of the city's streets have no street lights. Basic lighting and municipal lighting market is the most potential market in Africa, in urgent need of development. And the African market is used in low-end lighting market, in terms of product performance requirements is not very high, low cost, with lighting function, the basic operation is simple and reliable and durable, the product can meet the market demand. The United Nations has been lighting up Africa's charity and development program, the goal is to provide electricity saving LED lighting to the African market users. At present, including off grid solar lighting products, indoor small portable lights, 1W~5W solar LED bulbs, emergency lights, are in the African market is the product of attention.

With the rapid development of modern cities in Africa, including the market, stations, shopping malls and other places of diversified LED lighting market, as well as tourist attractions, holiday villa market, there are new applications and market demand. Whether it is LED Garden lights, LED street lighting and commercial lighting, has been actively promoted in the African market.

LEDinside view

LEDinside believes that the emerging international market demand for LED lighting is gradually fermentation, although there are many LED companies hit the wall in the mature markets of Europe and Japan, if the transfer positions to reclaim LED lighting factory, and strive to meet the international standard LED product, and do good work to comply with regulations respecting intellectual property rights, patent, trade in order to reduce the risk of export products was returned or recalled.

However, emerging markets can accept the price of each relatively mature market should be low, in addition to senior project demand, product demand, the field will inevitably have price competition worries. Actively expanding overseas markets, looking for new target groups, is the LED industry in the domestic market demand, Europe and the United States and other mature markets.
