The four-day 16th Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition has ended, the reporter learned from the exhibition site, the participants, more than 1,800 lighting companies, more than half engaged in led lighting industry, the industry refers to the traditional incandescent lamps will fade out. LED lighting will become the mainstream lighting market. But the reporter also found that the upstream core technology is still the monopoly of several major foreign industrial giants, the majority of domestic LED enterprises become the industry downstream assembly plant.
It is understood that the output of the LED industry in China is the world s first, the output value ranked second in the world. Wu Wenfeng, Vice President of Tsinghua Tong Fang Semiconductor Lighting Systems Division, expects 2011 output value of China s LED industry will reach 180 billion yuan. Faced with such a huge market cake, in addition to domestic enterprises have to force the foreign giants will also shift the focus of the domestic market, the reporter learned at the scene, GE Lighting in this exhibition launched two new LED modular street lamps and angle light-emitting bulb Universal, will take the lead in the Chinese market as early as in the other markets of the Asia-Pacific region, synchronized with the U.S. market, which shows the importance of the Chinese market.
However, domestic enterprises want to break out the attack by foreign giants still difficult present, the structure of the domestic LED industry is still focused on packaging and downstream applications link in the upper reaches of the wafer, chip, two key areas of strength seems to be rather weak. According to Wu Wenfeng, epitaxial wafers, chips, packaging and other technical aspects, there are many patents, the multinational giants such as U.S. SemiLEDsCorporation, Netherlands, Lemnis companies are building huge patent pool, thereby threatening the long-term development of China s LED industry.
Upstream monopoly so that the domestic cost of LED lighting has been high, the general public is also difficult to accept the high price, is not conducive to market penetration. Shenzhen pole into the photoelectric Managing Director Chen Linchun told reporters LED market share of about 10%, GE Lighting President of Asia Pacific Bijan LED popularity of take some time, and he expects the LED proportion is expected to reach 25% in 2015.
At present, Tsinghua has formed a LED epitaxial wafers, chip manufacturing and packaging the end product production and applied to a complete industrial chain and large-scale production of commercial and urban landscape lighting, and has LED wafer and chip manufacturing patent nearly Wu Wenfeng introduced one hundred, the 2011 LED industry output value is expected to exceed $ 2.5 billion.
Analysis of the industry, China s LED industry and developed countries is almost the same starting line, which gives opportunities for domestic enterprises to participate in global competition, will also industry reshuffle, the majority of core technology, enterprises will be reduced to the downstream industries assembly plant, the passage of time and then collapse or transformation of the loss of competitiveness. At the same time, the industry also called for the LED industry standards as soon as possible to the LED lighting technology and products to fish, uneven dilemma, regulate the market, promote the healthy development of the domestic LED industry.
