Fujian LED lighting exports face a severe test

Until this year, the lighting industry "a frost" miserable scene seems to usher in a "cloudy", let the industry see hope, especially in the second half, the reporter survey of Fujian enterprises, without exception, optimistic about the second half of the year, many companies are working overtime production, even some enterprise orders are routed the next year. However, even with the ashes of the opportunity for enterprises in Fujian road is not smooth. Xiamen exports to other major producing areas of the country's envy and jealousy hate foreign trade has always been the strengths of Xiamen.

From the beginning of the second half of 2011, the domestic export type lamps and lanterns enterprises day seems to be more and more difficult. While suffering from overcapacity in the industry, the domestic LED civil market is difficult to promote and other problems, while facing a decrease in foreign orders, rising export threshold pressure. Until this year, the lighting industry "a frost" miserable scene seems to usher in a "cloudy", let the industry see hope, especially in the second half, the reporter survey of Fujian enterprises, without exception, optimistic about the second half of the year, many companies are working overtime production, even some enterprise orders are routed the next year.

However, even with the ashes of the opportunity for enterprises in Fujian road is not smooth. Xiamen exports to other major producing areas of the country's envy and jealousy hate foreign trade has always been the strengths of Xiamen. According to "China Customs" magazine recently released "2012 - China's top 100 foreign trade city" list, Fujian, Xiamen, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Longyan and other four cities on the list. Among them, Xiamen ranked fifth in the country with a total score of 75.6 points.

In the field of lighting, Xiamen has always been a model for the domestic high-end energy-saving lamp exports. Compared with Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai and other provinces and cities of light source, the production of lamps, regardless of the number of enterprises, the annual output value of exports, or Xiamen, Fujian and even the whole advantage is not prominent, but in the high-end energy-saving lamp production, Xiamen is superior, the product price is relatively higher than other areas of many. China's energy-saving lamp production accounted for 80% of the world's total energy consumption in Xiamen last year, exports accounted for more than 15% of total exports.

In Xiamen, want to do low-end products are not realistic, because there is no relevant industry chain. Deputy director of the Xiamen City Economic Development Bureau of Fujian province energy-saving lamps export base Xiamen Topstar lighting, President of the chamber of Commerce Chairman Deng Jianhua told reporters, from the product structure, energy-saving lamp steadily, still occupies the dominant position; LED products become the main driving force of the lamp. From the market distribution and structure, lamps export country / region number increased to 145, the ability to open up the market to further strengthen; the biggest export market is still the North American and European market, but the decline in the proportion of emerging countries; market share continues to expand, including Russia, Brazil, Philippines, Mexico ranked among the top 10 export markets. The United States, the European Union is still the main export market for energy-saving lamps in Fujian.

In terms of LED lamps, according to the Fujian Bureau of quarantine statistics, in the first quarter of this year, Fujian exported 309 batches of LED lamps, $16 million 174 thousand, an increase of 27.7% and 1.36 times. Quanzhou export electric light sources and lamps showed a substantial growth. Quanzhou's main exports of solar lights, LED lights and electronic energy-saving lamps, and more than 90% of them for solar lights.

From the above data, there is no denying the fact that despite rising labor costs, raw material prices, the appreciation of the renminbi and the technical barriers to trade and other adverse situation, Fujian enterprises are still made in other domestic lighting areas the envy of the performance in export. However, a booming export market in Fujian lamps will also face more severe international market.
