Chinese LED by the United States "stumbling block"

China is the largest producer of LED production in recent years, with the LED in the world widely, the export growth rate from 2007 to May, China by leaps and bounds, LED, total exports of $1 billion 380 million, an increase of 72.5%, while the total imports of $1 billion 310 million, an increase of 14.6%, exports exceeded imports for the first time.

It is reported that recently the United States UL organizations are working to develop a series of safety assessment criteria involving LED products. Technical barriers to export trade encountered in the lighting industry, it has It is often seen. is undoubtedly a heavy hammer, following the RMB appreciation, export tax rebate cut, raw material prices, anti-dumping and other exports under pressure. China's LED lighting export enterprises will face what kind of situation, how should they respond?

Export market worries mixed half

After 30 years of development, China's LED industry has initially formed a relatively complete industrial chain. LED industry has gone through the purchase of devices, buy chips, buy epitaxial film after the road, has initially achieved the independent production of epitaxial wafers and chips. At this stage, the number of workers in the industry reached 50 Yuwanduo, more than and 20 research institutions and more than 4 thousand enterprises, the upstream enterprises more than about 50, about 1000 more than the package, about 3000 more than the downstream application. 2006, China's LED industry output value reached 10 billion 550 million yuan, of which the output value of packaging industry reached $8 billion 750 million.

China's LED exports occupy a large share in the world market, especially in recent years, showing a rising trend year by year. According to the survey, China has the absolute advantage of low price of raw materials and labor, which is the main place for purchasing LED products in the world. At present, only the United States, Japan and other countries, with the United States, Japan and other countries, with the expansion of the scope of the global LED LED, the market competition is becoming increasingly intense. According to the general manager of Zhongshan gelinman Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd. Kong Linghua, there are tens of millions of dollars in exports, exports of LED per year, the total output of 80%, and increased more than 30%, products exported to the United States, Canada, Germany, Britain and South Africa, the Middle East and other regions. In the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and other regions of the manufacturing industry as a representative, more and more enterprises to participate in the LED export competition in the flood.

However, the current situation of China's LED exports, there are still a lot of worries. China's exports of LED products and developed countries there is still a big gap. All along, China's LED in the product packaging advantage, but in product development and chip manufacturing is still far behind Europe and the United States and other developed countries. International LED in the high-end products are produced in Taiwan, China and Japan, Europe and the United States and other places. But in our country, the enterprises in the Pearl River Delta as an example, many small and medium-sized enterprises can only produce large amounts of rainbow tube and other products, even some enterprises cannot produce in line with Europe and other developed countries certified products, only exports to underdeveloped countries and regions of Africa, India, Arabia, made a profit with low price advantage. This is clearly not in line with international trends.

In addition, the export competition between the same industry lead to vicious competition intensifies, competing prices, product quality can not be guaranteed, facing a lot of quality claims, reputation exports fell sharply, it also brings great pressure to the LED export.
