The industry believes that the market for China, 2012, many small enterprises in LED industry will face hard competition, although the traditional lighting brings disabled application opportunities, but only stronger, the technical content of the manufacturers will have a better life.

A well-known LED company official pointed out that the current government procurement is mainly concerned about the end product prices, but did not ask who you are using the chip. This result is often the use of foreign LED chip manufacturers to quickly occupy the domestic market.

The official suggested that if the government bidding in the project, the use of domestic LED chip products appropriate points, so that they account for a certain proportion, which will be conducive to the development of national LED industry.

Chinese LED enterprises to accumulate their core technology, to break the foreign technical barriers, but also need a considerable period of time. Therefore, the above suggested that the government should speed up the pace of development of the local industry in terms of market development.

A senior people in the industry said that if the national industry is not yet mature, it is too early, too fast to open LED lighting market has great potential in this, I am afraid will cause "for making others" embarrassing situation.
