Financial subsidies to LED Taiwan factory into the mainland lighting market stumbling block

ITRI LED industry analyst Guo Ziling said that with the city urbanization development in emerging countries, the future of LED lighting needs strong force, which, in Chinese market demand is huge, but the light is its domestic business registration manufacturers have more than 1, and the strong local leaders, foreign manufacturers to eat cake, even cut factory the opportunity is more and more small, so Taiwan LED industry should quickly to other emerging countries such as Russia, India, Brazil, South Africa and other regions to find a new way, as long as the master key manufacturers around the pathway, has obtained the market advantage.

Guo Ziling said that in 2012 the global general lighting market size of about $80 billion, in Europe and America, accounting for about 49%, followed by 39% in Asia, the Middle East / Africa 7%, Latin America 5%, among them, China for accelerated urbanization, the huge domestic market, only single countries accounted for about 18% of global lighting market, because China government is actively promoting the solid-state lighting industry, LED lighting led the local lighting industry development.

Although the market has been focused on the development of LED lighting China, but Guo Ziling pointed out that, at this stage China to bid market, and the light is within the Chinese LED registration business manufacturers have more than 1, the local princes strong, both the central and local governments have taken protection strategies, foreign manufacturers to eat cake. Taiwan factory entry opportunity is more and more small.

Guo Ziling said that from this year China released "2012/2013 semiconductor lighting products annual financial subsidies to promote project bid results can be seen in action to protect the China government, to participate in the bidding companies at 100, which does not pan international companies and Taiwan factory compete, but only after Philips, the rest are local Chinese this industry for foreign manufacturers, LED lighting Chinese pie a high degree of difficulty.

In addition to China, Guo Ziling said, in other emerging countries in LED lighting demand strength is quite strong, and relative to the China market and development with tens of thousands of manufacturers mature Europe and Japan and South Korea market, these emerging markets local manufacturers have not yet the real operation of LED components, multi agent, its business strategy from overseas sales the application to the downstream industry, so for the LED factory, it will be the best opportunity to enter the market, as long as the master key manufacturers around the pathway, has been the leading edge of the market.

However, Guo Ziling warned that the current global LED lighting standards are not unified, to get into the overseas market LED Taiwan factory, the lighting specifications of each region is different, the LED plant will relatively increase stocking inventory, so the inventory and cost management for Taiwan factory will also be a big challenge.
