Global competition in LED industry under great business opportunities"

The future will become the mainstream lighting recently held in Xiamen on the export commodities fair, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of science and technology, national semiconductor lighting project coordination group leader Ma Songde pointed out: the application prospect of semiconductor lighting technology is enormous, and a high degree of attention in industry. The combination of semiconductor technology and traditional lighting technology will change our world again. According to the introduction, semiconductor lighting as a high-efficiency solid-state light source, the utility model has the advantages of long service life, energy saving, safety, environmental protection and the power consumption of only ordinary lighting 1/10. Academician of the Academy of engineering, China China researcher Academy of Sciences and so Chen Lianghui calculations: "as long as the current 1/3 incandescent lamp was replaced by the semiconductor lamp, per year for a country to save electricity 100 billion degrees, which is equivalent to save an annual generating capacity of the Three Gorges Project (total investment of 180 billion yuan in Three Gorges Project. The annual capacity of 84 billion 680 million degrees)." Insiders predict that in twenty-first Century as the most promising star industry, the leading position of semiconductor lighting technology is expected to replace the traditional incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp, halogen lamp, energy saving and environmental protection has become the widely used quality light source. Effect in the domestic industry cluster previews at present, LED as "lit up the future of technology" has been more and more national attention. China also launched an emergency national semiconductor lighting project in 2003, and included in the "fifteen" National Science and technology program. This year, the national development and Reform Commission will invest 8 billion yuan to promote the industrialization process of this green lighting project. According to the Ministry of science and technology related parties: China currently has Dalian, Shanghai, Nanchang, Xiamen, Shenzhen in the construction of national semiconductor lighting project industrialization base, in order to form advantage, supporting capacity, industrial cluster public testing services, promote the development of the whole industry. It is reported that, LED industry in our country has begun to take shape in China in the field of semiconductor light-emitting materials and devices have been formed from the epitaxial film production, chip manufacturing, packaging to the integrated application of relatively complete industrial chain. In an interview with reporters learned: previews effect of LED industrial cluster in Nanchang City, and the industries included in the "11th Five-Year" development plan, in 2010 is expected to achieve an annual output value of 10 billion yuan -200 target. Multinational companies compete for the commanding heights of industry according to industry estimates, by 2008, the global LED output value will increase from $12 billion 500 million in 2004 to $50 billion, a huge potential market, the competition will become more intense. The report of the U. S. Department of energy analysis, by 2010, the United States will have 55% of the incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp by the semiconductor lamp replacement, save electricity up to 35 billion dollars a year, is expected to form a semiconductor light industry $50 billion. Semiconductor lighting industry attractive business opportunities, attracted many world-class enterprise investment, the rapid development of LED industry. At present, the United States GE, Holland PHILPS, the German Osland three world giants in cooperation with the semiconductor lighting production company set up semiconductor lighting company, seize the commanding heights of industry; Taiwan region of China has also introduced a new century lighting development plan, vigorously develop the semiconductor light-emitting diode industry; Japan is put forward, the 2006 large-scale alternative to traditional incandescent with semiconductor lamp. In the mainland of China in the industrial support, Taiwan and international giants to join the three party to promote the LED industry has initially formed. According to incomplete statistics, as of 2004, China has more than 3500 kinds of enterprises in the mainland LED, LED devices annual output of more than 40 billion, the annual market size of $about 30000000000. Pulse mergers and acquisitions of domestic enterprises is "shortcut to enhance the competitiveness". A general manager of a domestic LED company believes that for semiconductor lighting companies, mergers and acquisitions must have the ability to compete with the world's largest manufacturers and strategic alliance strength. "LED industry development potential is huge, but do not make the investment." Said Vice President of another enterprise LED analysis of the competitive status of domestic LED enterprise application, application of a wide range of products, the market access threshold is low, small scale and low level, repeated construction is serious problem hindering the further development of enterprises. He also suggested that the company intends to invest in the LED industry must be careful, the premise is that enterprises have a strong capital, leading technology, access to government support. Experts believe that the development of LED industry in China is still a long way to go. At present, the key technology of LED products has yet to be mastered, and our country in terms of chip material, equipment, or in the packaging technology, the application of technology has yet to achieve a breakthrough in the true sense, the industry chain structure is unreasonable, the lack of high-end products with independent intellectual property rights, so the government should increase investment in LED product development, at the same time support large enterprises and research institutions together to play their respective advantages in capital and technology, make the key product industry, LED industry to meet the bright future.
