Guangdong LED lighting imports fell competition to get together"

Every time the network, while the LED business is low price competition, the market is bleak, but it is the other side of the high-end LED products still need a lot of imports.

In the just concluded Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition, the reporter learned that, due to the domestic LED industry technology precipitation time is short, companies get together to compete in the low-end products, high-end LED products still need a lot of imports. "We look forward to more personalized products, which is the direction of future development of LED. For example, now, we are engaged in some low-end, homogeneous products, as well as the development of new products, such as agricultural applications, biological applications, communications applications, etc.. Quan Jian, President of Guangdong lighting electrical association, told reporters.

Guangdong lighting industry last year, imports fell

"This industry because of the explosion of a few years ago the growth of these two years the capacity to be fully released, some similar products, price competition is intense, especially some core technology and low-end enterprises, their greater pressure, so there is some (business owners) run away phenomenon. I think this is an episode in the process of industrial development. Quan Jian quan.

Although many enterprises due to industry overcapacity and falling down, but the Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition at the end of the day before the reporter learned, LED still need to import large quantities of high-end products.

Pearl River Delta has been the most active area of the domestic LED industry. Data shows, at present Guangdong province LED total of more than 4000 enterprises, nearly 3 million related employment, and building in Shenzhen as a leader, Zhongshan, Huizhou, Foshan, Jiangmen and Dongguan as the Pearl River Delta Industrial Zone Industrial Agglomeration Area LED.

Reporters from the Guangdong Provincial Association of lighting electrical appliances to get the import and export data show that last year, Guangdong lighting industry cumulative exports of $22 billion 652 million, an increase of 19.37%, accounting for more than 50% of total exports. Among them, lighting total exports of $18 billion 926 million, the electric light source (lamp) in total exports $1 billion 778 million, lighting appliances and parts self energy in total exports of $1 billion 464 million, ballasts for discharge lamps or tubes in total exports of $485 million.

Imports, last year, Guangdong lighting industry cumulative imports of $547 million, an increase of -16.40%. Among them, the electric light source (light bulbs) total imports amounted to 352 million US dollars, lighting total imports amounted to 140 million US dollars, lighting equipment and parts supply of energy total imports amounted to 30 million US dollars, ballasts for discharge lamps or tubes imported a total amount of $25 million.

High tech products short board

Hidden behind the import data, is the embarrassment of the existence of high-end LED technology short board.

Many of our enterprises in the development of technology is not enough. Our excess capacity, is the low end of excess production capacity, is homogenization, no technical threshold, copying each other such a pattern of excess. "Latticepower (Jiangxi) Co., Ltd. CEO Wang Min told reporters, LED in the high-end market, never say excess, a lot of imported products, the fact that the excess is not in the field of high-end products, but the lack of. Zhang Hua, Secretary General of the association of FSL lighting and Guangdong Lighting Electrical Appliance Association, chairman of the full health also said that there is indeed such a situation.

According to Wang Min introduction, high-end products rely on imports mainly concentrated in large power products, domestic power enterprises can expand overall is not much, especially high requirements, such as lights, car lights, mobile phone flash light source of these products, mainly rely on imports. "

FSL Lighting Association Secretary long Zhang Hua also said that in the upstream areas of the chip, especially high power chip, there is still a gap between the domestic LED enterprises in technology and international business, "in the application package, this one, our domestic product technology with the international enterprises should be synchronized, or is ahead, but in the chip (domestic), also need to catch up. "

The Jian said that the so-called high-end products, we must first ensure that the products of high performance, good quality, ideal use effect, in this case, the price of high-end products is not too low, the low-end products, first of all, manufacturing, the appearance of relatively rough; second, the effect is not up to the standard; third, the life of the product may be short; fourth, because of this, it may be very low price. Health told reporters that due to the low price of low-end products, and even less than the cost of manufacturing, do not rule out the existence of some products Jerry phenomenon.

On the one hand, China's enterprises on the one hand because of the late start; on the other hand, foreign investment is relatively large, so they (foreign enterprises) have technical advantages; a little ahead of us a little bit, which is normal. Zhang Hua told reporters, for the entire LED industry, technology is not yet fully mature, is still in the stage of rapid development, domestic enterprises can further enhance the technical aspects.
