Rapid expansion of the industry into the three major problems in the development of China's LED lighting industry constraints

With the rapid development of economy and vigorously promote energy conservation policy, Chinese has become the most energy-efficient lighting city growth potential global analysts believe that in the next few years, energy-efficient lighting market scale will present a geometric level increase.

The rapid development of energy-saving lighting industry, not only to attract a large number of international lighting manufacturers layout, but also to China's regional lighting manufacturers to come to the beach. In particular, the high-profile LED lighting industry, in the local government to vigorously promote the input of large enterprises, showing a rapid development trend.

However, the rapid expansion of the LED industry at the same time, hidden in the depths of the industry gradually surfaced, restricting the healthy development of the industry.

Rapid expansion of LED industry

Since 2003, Chinese began to promote LED lighting industry development, put forward the "national semiconductor lighting project" and "semiconductor lighting industry technology development in 11th Five-Year" special plan, assist the industry scale and technology level of ascension, and planning "ten city lights" and "the establishment of a national semiconductor lighting base", to promote the application of regional LED lighting.

Chinese LED industry and the market in the focus of government support, the rapid expansion trend, the overall output value increased substantially, also led manufacturers to actively expand the industry chain layout, the China not only become the world's main LED outdoor lighting market, has become the world's main producer of LED components. China's LED industry growth is strong, from 2006 to 2011, the average annual growth rate of output value of 30%, and since the industry in 2009 to accelerate the expansion of the current output value has grown to $156 billion.

General, landscape lighting market size

As the world's most important consumer electronics and lighting production base, China has become the world's largest LED component application market, in 2011 the global consumer 35%LED components. In the application of LED market in China, the four main application areas are public landscape lighting, electronic products backlight, display / billboard, and general lighting.

China since 2008, through the establishment of the streets, square decorative lighting, promote LED decorative lighting, making the rapid growth of LED landscape lighting market. 2010, through the government ten city million demonstration program to promote the use of LED street lights, tunnels, parking taste gas stations. The government subsidies incentive measures, the rapid growth of lighting applications market, general lighting has risen to 25%, becoming the largest application areas, general lighting and landscape lighting together accounted for about 50% of the proportion of the application, the display lighting has become the main application of China, LED often estimated in government policy continued assistance, general Chinese lighting and landscape lighting market will show a sustained high growth in the future trend.

Three issues into the industry development constraints

Although China's LED industry in good policy and market demand stimulus, walked into the "blowout", but the three major problems for the development of the industry still exists, for the healthy development of the whole industry buried a hidden danger.

The first is the ability of technological innovation is weak, the value of the chip as the representative of the high-end technology products are still mainly in the hands of foreign companies. For example, China's existing more than and 980 MOCVD machines are basically imported from the middle and lower reaches of the key equipment is also based on imports, to the growth of the industry planted a hidden danger.

Followed by the lack of leading enterprises in the industry. A large number of small and medium enterprises occupy the low-end market, the price war, product quality worrying. China's larger LED enterprises operating income of only a few billion yuan, with the international giant annual sales of billions of dollars in the scale of a far cry.

Finally, there is still a direct subsidy to production enterprises in china. At present, government introduced a number of policies, the intention is aided innovation subsidies, but some enterprises to expand production capacity, resulting in unfair competition and capacity sprawl, disrupted the original market order, the need for policy adjustment.

Improve the policy to promote development

In view of these problems, the author suggests that we should improve relevant policies to guide the development of the industry.

Cancel production subsidies, expand the scope of government procurement and demonstration projects and efforts to larger scale, more competitive domestic market to stimulate industrial development. At present, Guangdong province has a large area of LED lighting on the street lamp, and achieved obvious energy saving effect. In schools, hospitals and other public utilities, can also be widely used LED lighting products, and the use of consumer subsidies, etc., to open the door of the ordinary resident user market.

In addition, the relevant departments should advance the development of LED product certification standards; in government procurement, the establishment of "benchmarking system", to guide product quality improvement; coordination and overall development planning, to avoid low-level redundant construction. Strengthen the construction of industrial technology service intermediary platform, the establishment of inter enterprise collaborative innovation mechanism to promote the core and common technology breakthroughs.
