National LED subsidy response different companies need to be cautious

In the past two years, the frequency of subsidies in the LED industry has been significantly less than in previous years, but as a topic of great sensitivity and sensitivity of the vocabulary, the people of our country to implement the LED subsidy behavior talk about, mixed. In fact, whether or not to receive subsidies to enjoy the benefits of subsidies to enterprises, the most important goal is to do their own products, with brand reputation and influence to win the market. LED industry is nourishing after "strong" instead of "xupang".

In November, LED industry subsidies began to lead the industry to talk about the news. November 18th (evening) audio announcement, a wholly owned subsidiary of Shanghai Benjamin company in January 17, 2013 and November 16th 2012, received the promotion of efficient lighting products first and second batch of financial subsidies were 8 million 480 thousand yuan and 64 million 120 thousand yuan, a total of 72 million 600 thousand yuan. HC semitek 12 noon announcement that the company declared "the use of domestic MOCVD equipment development / industrialization of high brightness LED" project, has received notice of the Ministry of national project project recently approved subsidies of 6 million yuan, the project required for special equipment or material purchase orders, before the money has gone to account. Shenzhen laserman photoelectric Polytron Technologies Inc November 5th evening announcement said, the year 2013 has received attributable to the company did not disclose the government subsidy funds (including the first half of 2013, the government subsidy list in the 2013 semi annual report disclosed a total of 3 million 721 thousand yuan).

LED subsidy Road

LED in the history of China's development and not long ago, from the beginning of the last century in 90s, LED display products began to appear in China in the form of single and double color display applications. Relatively speaking, the development of LED lighting is nearly ten years of things. LED has been heavily subsidized by local governments since 2008.

LED subsidy is also the most typical of many of the LED upstream equipment subsidies. The pattern of financial subsidies for equipment began in 2009 in Jiangsu, Wuhu, followed by Guangdong, Anhui, and in the. Local governments generally use the way of tax subsidies, which is the norm around the introduction of investment; Yangzhou model is different from the cash payment. For example, the LED wafer production enterprises purchased by MOCVD furnace to grant funds, the red light MOCVD subsidies 8 million yuan / Taiwan, blue and green 10 million yuan / Taiwan; equipment in place after the subsidy of 50%, pilot grants 30%, 20% retainage after mass acceptance. Time attracting canyuan photoelectric, photoelectric, neon Blaupunkt and many other LED upstream manufacturers in Yangzhou.

Wuhu to follow, but the threshold is set to the number of high enterprise MOCVD must be more than 50, but the subsidy increased 20%, red yellow, blue and green respectively referred to 9 million 600 thousand yuan, 12 million yuan per unit, preferential policies and other city distance. Soon, the effect of investment in Wuhu show. In January 2010, three optical signed a 12 billion yuan investment project LED and Wuhu municipal government; in February, Wuhu municipal government and Elec-Tech signed a total investment of 6 billion yuan of LED project; the two companies planning MOCVD super 200. In just one month, Wuhu completed a year before the completion of the Yangzhou investment plan.

The number of high subsidies in the two places shocked the LED industry, but also to make MOCVD equipment subsidies to promote the rapid development of the LED industry is an important element. July 2011 years later, the Yangzhou government did not continue this policy, the same, Anhui, Wuhu, also to stop the implementation of equipment subsidies to other manufacturers, in fact, two years has reached the goal of attracting investment.

Experienced two years of subsidies boom, LED industry subsidies began to spread out. Subsidies began to shift from the upstream equipment to LED lighting and other downstream applications, local governments are no longer a high-profile investment to the country, but in the form of product bidding to subsidize more LED lighting companies.

February 2012, "semiconductor lighting products in 2012 financial subsidies to promote the project" for domestic public bidding. Later in July, due to national policy changes, the original bidding document set procurement targets have been unable to meet the new requirements, so the bidding project was renamed "2012/2013 semiconductor lighting products annual financial subsidies to promote the project, and shall organize bidding, bid a total of 39 enterprises, winning a total of 8 million 730 thousand LED lighting products only, this is the first country to LED product promotion subsidies, which directly stimulating the LED lighting demand of about 20-30 billion yuan. 2013 national financial subsidies continue to LED lighting products and enterprises.

Compared to previous years, the high subsidies and local governments fanatical investment, the last two years, LED subsidy policy tends to fade. Insiders pointed out that the general government subsidies are in the three quarter and the four quarter, given by the state or local governments to grant the project, many LED companies have been relying on government subsidies to promote products. In the future, government subsidies to LED companies will be less and less, and more rely on the market mechanism of LED to regulate the whole market.
