Not bad money LED lighting industry into the crazy era?

2008 Beijing Olympic Games completely let LED products a fire, the opening ceremony of a piece of magic picture attracted the eyes of the world, people can not help but exclaim LED magic magic products.

Recently, reporters found that, at present, the core technology and patent of the global LED industry, more than half of developed countries such as the US and EU share in our country, the lack of core technology and patents in the field of LED, at the same time there is no unified standard, loose cooperative crux; in addition, the price confusion, quality uneven in quality of low-end products, disorderly competition, lack of high-end products. The industry believes that, at present, the LED industry has shown a "feudal lords vying for the throne of chaos".

Winter nanzu industry investment boom

LED can be converted to electrical energy of the semiconductor, as currently the world's most popular new generation light source, this was listed as one of 7 national strategic emerging industry, its huge opportunity to attract the brightest stampede in the capital.

According to publicly available data show that China's LED manufacturers more than 8000, and the number of hundreds or even thousands of years to continue to increase every year.

Reporters learned that, in the past six months, a total of 8 domestic LED lighting companies successfully listed, including the landing of the gem, the speed of its listing amazing last year, LED listed companies are only 7. On the other hand, over the past year, the domestic small and medium LED companies frequently closed down. In Shenzhen, the collapse of the LED lighting companies more than 80, Guangdong, 2011, nearly of the LED Lighting Companies in the collapse in, Dongguan,, LED lighting companies are also mired in cold wave.

According to the latest news, Shenzhen billion yuan level LED companies willing to face the current collapse of the electronic light vortex.

At the same time, but in the foreign market China get ready for battle. The day before, Taiwan Dongbei photoelectric Group invested $25 million in LED optoelectronic devices production project in Beijing digital TV industry park officially started construction, the future will supply the North China LED lighting. In addition, in May of this year, OSRAM signed with Wuxi, in the local new LED assembly plant, is expected to be completed and put into operation by the end of 2013, the main LED chip package. Following the formal operation of the Chengdu innovation center, GE lighting Xi'an innovation center was established.

Lack of industry standards

At present, the LED industry is no unified standard in our country, because of the lack of unified standards and norms, the market for LED lighting applications product variety, different performance, interchangeability, inferior products and frequent, pose serious challenges to the industry's reputation.

International semiconductor lighting Alliance (ISA) secretary general Yue Ruisheng told reporters that the International Commission on illumination, international electronic motor Commission and the European Commission, the United States light engine energy star, ISA and other institutions in the development of LED lighting industry standard, for the right words.

In spite of our country has been in the development and testing of their own local standards, but the standard confusion, corporate standards are qualified by this side, to the other side has become unqualified.

On the other hand, the lack of uniform standards caused by the product quality problems also frequently appear. Recently, some media reports, the Guangdong Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau issued a special quality supervision and inspection results from the town of LED lamps in Guangdong province. Sampling results show that in the random sampling of 23 batches from the town of LED, the test failed 17 batches, the failure rate of up to 73.9%.

An industry source said that poor quality LED products disrupt the market price, but also makes the consumer confidence in the LED products greatly reduced, resulting in a vicious cycle.

It is reported that in 2011 the export market downturn makes LED industry once again suffered heavy losses, the overseas market LED products such as Christmas tree lighting appliances are almost from the China export in Europe, the economic crisis, the economic recovery in the US weakness and other factors, since the second half of 2011 orders of enterprises reduced sharply in Europe, orders fell three to 50% in the industry is quite common.

Domestic enterprises lack of soft power

Reporters learned that, although our country is a major producer of lighting, but our country is not a big brand, a large number of lighting products are OEM for others to do.

According to statistics, at present Chinese LED manufacturers more than 8000, more than 5000 companies in the industry in the downstream, which packaging enterprises have 1200 ~ 1500, more than 100 million yuan in annual sales of about more than and 40, sales in 10 million yuan to 100 million yuan between enterprises is less than 400, most of the sales of the enterprise less than 10 million yuan. Visible, although the number of LED companies in China, but the scale is generally small.

It is worth noting that, with the vigorous development of the domestic LED market, more and more foreign companies to turn their attention to China, especially in recent years, China's acceptance of the number of patent applications in the field of LED increased significantly year by year. In addition, from the point of view of the distribution of the industry chain, foreign companies in the chip, packaging areas of patent layout, more than half of the LED core invention in China filed a patent application.

Compared with foreign companies, China's LED patent application is obviously at a disadvantage. According to the Institute of LED Industrial Research Institute, as of the end of 2008, China's LED patent applications for a total of 26 thousand and 71, which is located in the middle reaches of the industry and downstream packaging and Application Patents close to 50%.

From the perspective of the profit structure, the middle and lower reaches of the company's profits accounted for only about 25% of the whole industry chain. Upstream chip and packaging manufacturing enterprises accounted for about 75% of the profits of the industry chain.
