Sought-billion dollar industry.
April 1, Toshiba Group announced to enter the Chinese LED (light emitting diodes) lighting market, and its affiliated companies Toshiba Lighting (Fuzhou) Co., Ltd. in the Chinese market is equivalent to 40 watt incandescent light 5.5 watt LED lights. The previous March 17, Toshiba Group in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, to terminate the production of ordinary incandescent business. Fat as a business, one of Toshiba products in the incandescent glorious history through 120 years later, from the historical stage.
Toshiba Group's full "gold" LED industry is just a microcosm of domestic and international lighting companies. At present, almost all lighting companies involved in LED lighting products have begun, but no one really leading enterprises; foreign lighting companies have seen the enormous market opportunities in China, the action frequently, but the situation has not yet appeared to dominate the party. It can be said is in the market, LED lighting industry, the eve of brewing and integration.
Industry, "cake" Quick bigger.
As energy-saving advantages of LED lighting products, under escort in a series of policies, and its huge market demand. Deputy Secretary-General of China Association of Lighting Doulin Ping pointed out that the LED lighting industry to promote the development of the power from three areas: outdoor lighting, displays and automotive lighting.
In the lighting field, the end of 2008 Science and Technology, Ministry of Finance launched the semiconductor lighting application engineering (referred to as the "city of ten thousand ten") pilot project, plans to 2010, 10-20 cities in the promotion of more than 300,000 municipal LED lighting. According to Dou Linping introduced, LED lighting applications in addition street, the outdoor projects, large-scale activities of LED lighting products have high demand. 2008 Beijing Olympic Games only give LED lighting industry, business opportunities brought by 50 billion, the Shanghai World Expo will be put on the LED lighting up to 10 billion. In addition, the Asian Games in Guangzhou, Shenzhen Universiade give LED lighting and other projects provided a broad space for development. Is expected as early as 2015, LED lighting market in China will reach 20% market share, contributing to industrial scale up to 5000 billion yuan, China will enter the top three global LED lighting market.
It is understood that energy saving in building the idea of low-carbon economy, China's semiconductor lighting industry, "cake" is rapidly bigger. Analysis of relevant institutions, in 2010, China's LED lighting industry output will exceed 1,500 billion yuan, compared to 2008 doubled.
Policies to promote green lighting.
With the comprehensive promotion of low-carbon economy, the green light by our government's attention.
October 2009, the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Science and other six ministries jointly issued the "views of the semiconductor lighting energy industry," a clear goal: By 2015, semiconductor lighting energy industry output of about 30% average annual growth rate; functional 20% of lighting; significantly enhanced capability of independent innovation, the upstream chip-scale production enterprises 3-5; industry concentration significantly increased, with their own brand, the larger the backbone of the market leading enterprise influence about 10; to achieve New Year Power 40 billion kwh, equivalent to 40 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
It is reported that China has launched the green lighting project, the semiconductor lighting application engineering, in the ten key energy conservation projects, high-tech industrialization demonstration projects, technological upgrading and structural adjustment projects, 863 new materials in the field were also set up a semiconductor lighting technology R & D and industrialization projects, has formed a relatively complete industrial chain of LED lighting.
Meanwhile, China's LED lighting industry is continuously growing. 2009, LED lighting industry, the number of enterprises within the scale and performance significantly. Overall, China's LED lighting industry has reached the level of scale, focus on more mature technology product development, product quality and reliability have been significantly improved.
Foreign companies interested in the Chinese market.
"Just look at China's civil lighting, there is a value of about 400 billion market." Philips Lighting (China) Co., Ltd. CEO, revealed a complete Bai Ling attractive data. Lighting companies in foreign countries seems, China's LED lighting market is a worthy competition for the Promised Land.
"Despite the cease production and sales of incandescent will soon bring some of the company's performance, but we already made in the power of LED lighting products. Soon after, LED lighting products that will drive our new business results for better improved. China is an emerging market, great opportunities for the future. "Toshiba (China) Co., Ltd., Chairman, President Tianzhong Xiao Ming to the author that the global trend of energy saving in 2009, Toshiba Group, a global marketing system increased the intensity in France, Germany, Britain, the United States set up a new business outlets, 2015, Toshiba LED lighting business to the global 350 billion yen in 2020 to reach 1 trillion yen.
The confidence of foreign companies from the lighting of the LED lighting industry, our government's attitude and LED lighting products that are powerful advantages.
In recent years, our government vigorously promote the incandescent phase-out plans, including LED lighting, including energy-saving lamp products have strong support. In addition, the domestic construction of large public facilities have been launched, and increased the demand for LED lighting products.
Energy-saving advantages of LED lighting products can not shake is foreshadowed the future of its industry leading position. According to insiders, a 11-watt high-quality energy-saving lamp life of 6,000 hours, has the same effect than the 60-watt incandescent lamp consumes 294 kwh less, saving more than 160 yuan expenditure.
My Government is implementing a "phase out incandescent bulbs to promote energy-saving lamps" project, but related phase out incandescent road map has not yet finalized, the NDRC is currently the main approach is the way through the financial subsidies available to urban residents inexpensive energy-saving lamps. LED lighting products for the purposes of foreign, in order to achieve economies of scale in the Chinese market, prices become the most crucial factor. Meanwhile, the availability of short-term support of the Chinese government is also very critical.
Domestic companies to step up layout.
"If you do not get involved in lighting, LED lighting business is a very shameful thing." Expression of a domestic industry that LED lighting business commitment and preference.
It is reported that domestic lighting enterprises such as Foshan, lighting, snow Wright, Zhejiang Morninghope, Zhejiang Sunshine and other LED lighting business has been expanding. This year, the Chongqing four United Group, Taiwan's UMC Group, and other corporate action is also very compelling.
I learned from Chongqing four Allianz Group, the Group plans to build a next few years in Chongqing, the largest scale of tens of billions of LED industry chain. According to the overall development plan, the Allianz Group in 2012 in Chongqing four groups will enter the ranks of billions of 2015, the estimated output value of 200 billion yuan, among the core industrial automation instruments world top five.
It is understood that, since 2009, has acquired Thomson Semiconductor, Honeywell sapphire business, the Chongqing Group currently has four joint annual output of 500,000 a sapphire substrate overseas factories, and connectivity Osram, Philips such as the world's top manufacturers of lighting equipment market channels, with Honeywell's unique world-class production and processing of sapphire core technology.
In early 2010, UMC Group in Shandong Jining Green business investment continues to expand, the development of the Joint Power Jining Science Park. According to reports, in the light LED and solar cell production such as chain link of the investment, the highest Civil optoelectronics, United Optoelectronics, NexPower, Po Lin Technology, Win Energy, totaling nine UMC Group, directly or indirectly invested enterprises had been settled in the park.
It is reported that since 2009, Taiwan's UMC Group and Shandong Province, reached a new source of new energy industry strategic cooperation framework for the investment vehicle of Jining, to establish high-tech LED and new energy projects, is expected to build LED wafer 5 years industry and new energy industry base, the initial focus on the LED substrate, epitaxial wafers, packaging, product application, to create a complete industrial chain of LED.
Jining side said that the future of Jining Science and Technology Park UMC will gradually build a complete supporting industries, will be the largest LED product development, manufacturing, supply base. 9 companies expected to complete all the projects put into operation, Jining Science and Technology Park UMC sales expected to exceed 100 billion yuan.
I was also informed, Skyworth Group will also enter the lighting industry. This year in January, the Shenzhen Skyworth-RGB Electronics Co., Ltd. lighting preparatory group to visit Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, lighting company, is looking for opportunities to cut into the LED lighting industry. The first stop of the preparatory group of examines LED commercial lighting, Zhongshan City, a leader in the field of Silver Star Rain Lighting Limited.
Shenzhen Skyworth-RGB Electronics Co., said the head of the preparatory group of lighting, LED lighting as a new sunrise industry, the implication of a huge market for energy. Skyworth Group after 20 years of struggle, from a small factory producing the remote control, color TV brands and ranks among the world's top ten electronics hundred enterprises in China. The reason into the LED lighting industry, Skyworth value is its broad market prospects, but also can further expand the industrial chain of Skyworth Group.

Lack of innovative capacity to be a breakthrough.
"Domestic LED lighting industry has developed rapidly, but there are three major issues can not be ignored, one overheated LED lighting industry, the second is the uneven quality LED lighting products, LED lighting products in the third, the development and promotion there was a certain bias. "Recently, in talking about the domestic status of LED lighting industry, the Deputy Secretary-General of China Association of Lighting Doulin Ping is not without worries.
Opportunities and challenges.
LED lighting products can be widely used in landscape lighting, security lighting, special lighting and general lighting in areas such as market potential over one hundred billion yuan. Chi, Horizon Financial market analysis consultancy that is entering China's LED lighting industry innovation, an important period to achieve leapfrog development, will form the next 5-10 years -1 000 billion U.S. dollars 50 billion potential market.
Most of the industry optimistic about the future of LED lighting industry that will lead to a new alternative source movement, and eventually to a comprehensive semiconductor lighting instead of the traditional fluorescent and incandescent this ends.
Related statistics show that only one energy-saving LED lights, our country will be able to save each year to one issued by the Three Gorges Dam Power. Because LED lighting that has energy saving, environmental advantages, in recent years, has maintained its global output growth rate of 20% or more, the domestic LED lighting industry, the government also made under the impetus of strong development. At all levels of government and the efforts of many companies, China's LED lighting industry has formed the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, Southeast region, Beijing and Dalian, the four northern regions, each basically formed a relatively complete industrial chain. In addition, various capital also actively investing in LED lighting industry, the rapid growth of investment, only the first half of 2009, the country launched 的 LED total investment budget had more than 200 billion yuan.
LED lighting is good, because it has a long life, energy saving, safety, environmental protection and other advantages. But for now, LED lighting industry due to cost and other reasons, resulting in promotion of its application are still the bottleneck.
Dou Linping that despite the current domestic LED industry, investment and capacity expansion is accelerating, LED lighting manufacturers more than 3000, but 70% concentrated in the lower part of integrated applications, the lack of upstream core technologies. And because of generally small scale enterprises and the lack of standards, product quality is uneven. Compared with foreign enterprises and domestic enterprises in many aspects of LED lighting, there is a big gap. How to improve the domestic LED lighting, the core competitiveness of enterprises so as to actively participate in the competition of globalization, is the urgent need to consider.
Three short board into the domestic LED bottleneck.
Although domestic LED lighting industry is gratifying, but behind the rapid development of its face has become more prominent short board.
Doulin Ping said, LED lighting, all aspects of upstream and downstream industries vary greatly. Upstream technology extremely difficult, with difficulty, high input, high-risk characteristics, and middle and lower reaches of the application of low barriers to entry, lack of core technology. LED epitaxial wafers and chips account for about 70% of industry profits, LED packaging accounts for about 10% -20%, LED application about 10% -20%. Pattern from the global LED industry, the U.S. and Japanese companies in technology, equipment monopoly advantage, European companies highlight the advantages in the application of technology. In China, Taiwan and mainland China focused mainly on the development of packaging and assembly areas, production occupies in the world, the output value of the second highest in the world.
Doulin Ping that the LED lighting industry in China there are three main bottlenecks in the development: first, the core technology (mainly chips) a larger gap with foreign giants, mainly patents are held by Philips, General Electric and other foreign giants hands. Second, the lower the overall level of industry, mainly in the low profit margins of downstream packaging, assembly areas, not to establish their own standards and testing system. Third, the low level of blind investment and serious, prone to vicious competition.
"Just look at links from the package, LED lighting business use of the auxiliary materials such as silica gel, patch silver paste, solder paste, etc., are basically imported, some special test equipment and production tools are also imported. Obviously, We need to make up classes on these areas. "I said to one of the industry.
Nanocrystalline Technology Co., Ltd. in Suzhou, chairman of Liangbing Wen pointed out that the great potential of LED lighting industry, the main challenge is talent scarcity, product standards, testing supervision seriously lagging behind, market transparency, lack of independent intellectual property rights, lack of capital and investment as well as high-quality foreign companies to set up plants in China increased competition.
Market acceptance is worrying.
Foshan City, Guangdong Province, as the energy-saving LED street lamps and lighting pilot project area, has recently completed most sections of the street conversion. But nearby residents that, after the installation of LED lights, the road was dark, there are security risks.
To solve this problem, industry experts, the current realization of white LED lighting, there are 3 main methods: first, through red, green and blue color combination of synthetic multi-chip white light; the second is to use the blue LED chip, the yellow phosphor excited by the LED yellow green blue and phosphor synthesis of white light emitted, but also to improve the color characteristics of adding the right amount of red, green phosphor; third is excited by UV LED white tricolor phosphor synthesis. For a long time, China's main city street with high pressure sodium, residents generally adapted to the yellow street lighting and accept white LED lights will take some time.
Shenzhen Tian Han Zhen Wu, chairman of music technology companies believe that the lack of upstream and LED lighting industry has a lot of core technology. According to him, due to lack of upstream core technologies, coupled with the LED lighting industry with low barriers to entry, generally small size of many enterprises. Because the lack of standards, currently on the market of varying quality LED lighting products, directly affecting the lighting effects.
Dou Linping that from the current situation, LED lighting, there are still considerable popularity of the difficulties. First, the current LED lighting products, prices are still high, although the LED lighting products from the point of view of energy-saving features of the long-term, but most of their consumers and business users are still on the sidelines. LED lighting products at this stage is mainly used for high-end indoor office lighting, automotive lighting, government procurement, applications, development trend of the civilian population slowly.
Secondly, LED lighting products on the lower reaches of the patent still lies in the hands of foreign companies, domestic production of products of varying quality. In the domestic market, OSRAM, Philips and other foreign companies dominate the domestic enterprises from foreign enterprises build "patent encirclement" and become the bottleneck in the development of LED lighting business.
While the domestic LED lighting market is gratifying, but the development of domestic enterprises are still difficulties, public acceptability, price and technical factors are blocking the LED lighting business in front of the "wall." Therefore, LED lighting in the country to promote government support needed to strengthen the independent innovation and enterprise.
Looking forward to the early introduction of the industry's national standard.
Lighting Research Institute of Fudan University, Professor Liu Qing wood that competition is inevitable, the current LED lighting products need to be addressed is the performance and price. According to reports, by the state saving and environmental protection policies, even though the price is not dominant, but the overall market LED lighting products, the expansion of the industry to see the future prospects for industrial upgrading.
In fact, domestic lighting industry is in a rudderless state, Philips, NVC lighting, Foshan Lighting, Foxconn, ranked the top ten domestic market, the enterprise, its market share in the total capacity of less than 13% of the total market. The industry said that as there is no national standard, LED lighting is now fragmented. Pearl River Delta region has more than 2,000 enterprises, but the real product can be stable-to-order business with less than half. Mu-Qing Liu believes that if the introduction of national standards as soon as possible, will help to solve this industry problem.
Doulin Ping, China's national standard product is divided into two categories, one is safety standards are mandatory standards, equivalent to using the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) published the international standard; the other is the application and performance criteria, is recommended standards. "At present the industry there is a misconception that there is no standard LED lighting products, in fact, this is not very accurate. Front-end, such as chips, packaged tubes, etc. is really no standard, but recently the AQSIQ, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has released dozen LED detection method and the module on the standard. "Doulin Ping said.
In addition, given the optical properties of LED light sources with different traditions, the National Standardization Technical Committee Lighting lamps Standardization Technical Committee reported this year, a number of performance standards for LED lighting products, plans, including performance standards for LED road lamp, LED lighting performance standards. Future will depend on market and product development, at any time of LED lighting products, the development of relevant performance criteria. However, according to the provisions of such standards as recommended standards.
Doulin Ping stressed that this year, China Association of Lighting and the next few years will be jointly issued by six ministries, "the views of semiconductor lighting energy industry" as the framework to strengthen cooperation with relevant units and testing departments in LED lighting business to guide scientific, rational, timely development and introduction of LED lighting products, and promote the healthy development of LED lighting industry.
