LED energy-saving lamps are the future investment potential of the industry

2009 is destined to be China LED years, in April the Ministry of science and Technology launched the Ten City million program. July 24th, the national development and Reform Commission and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the global environment fund (GEF) cooperation, China gradually eliminate incandescent, accelerate the promotion of energy-saving lamps project signing ceremony held in Beijing. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, deputy director of the national development and Reform Commission Jie Zhenhua, Chinese permanent representative to the UN Zhang Yesui, deputy finance minister Li Yong, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) China chief Khalid Malik attended the signing ceremony. This marks the beginning of a new stage of international cooperation in China's green lighting.

In fact, the Ministry of Finance in 2008, began to implement the "efficient lighting products to promote financial subsidies to fund management Interim Measures" has put LED semiconductor lighting products included in the scope of subsidies, with the corresponding tax policy. This is an unprecedented support for an industry. By the application of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games LED continues to have a fever, and the 2010 Shanghai World Expo and Guangzhou Asian Games and 2011 Shenzhen World University Games coming soon, LED large billboards, driven by the architectural landscape lighting application opportunities, and the focus of the 2009 LED industry concern.

Government support, the national energy-saving emission reduction policy driven will be the driving force for sustainable development. LED road lighting market, in addition to international exhibitions, events fueled, government procurement and implementation of large LED street lamp demonstration program, and LED lighting have formulated local norms, is expected in 2009 the global LED lamp market penetration will exceed 1%, began to enter a period of rapid growth.

About how to carry out the "ten city lights" LED pilot demonstration city, implementation of the Ministry of science and technology high-tech business offices of our counterparts in the original tentative plan is: through LED in the municipal lighting demonstration project for the carrier, select the 10 city promotion and application of LED lighting (including street lamp, tunnel lamp, light rail, subway gas station, underground parking lot lighting and other functions) 10 thousand or more. According to the technical efficiency of LED products, the effect of the application of energy saving and economic and social benefits obtained, after the way to take subsidies, subsidies, but there is still no document issued.

At the beginning of May, the Ministry of science and technology Chinese approved 21 city to carry out the pilot work of semiconductor lighting engineering application. The 21 pilot city of Tianjin City, Shanghai City, Chongqing City, Shijiazhuang City, Baoding City, Dalian City, Harbin City, Yangzhou City, Ningbo City, Hangzhou City, Xiamen City, Fuzhou City, Nanchang City, Weifang City, Zhengzhou City, Xi'an City, Wuhan City, Shenzhen City, Dongguan City, Chengdu City, Mianyang city.

Some of the city based on the preparation of the promotion plan in a very short period of time, such as the Tianjin city plans to promote the 500 thousand lights, Yangzhou city plans 50 thousand light, Baoding city plans 38 thousand, Chengdu city planning 15 thousand LED lighting lamp, only the four city plan as high as 630 thousand. 21 city is calculated according to the 10 thousand lamp itself requires installing street lights, tunnel lights 210 thousand, if this is a new installation of 210 thousand half light (including poles), half replacement (excluding poles), average 5000 yuan to 1, will be 1 billion 50 million yuan of funds.

The actual demand is far more than this figure, in 2009 China will need 1 million 400 thousand, the global need for 2 million 400 thousand, the future market potential is evident". Some people even boldly predicted; LED China output will reach more than $100 billion by 2013, the number of us regardless of the numbers, but the industry, as long as it is able to break through the bottleneck of development of the core technology of high-end chip, our energy saving and emission reduction and the construction of green City goals can be achieved.

LED power consumption is only 10% of incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp 30%; it uses solid package, service life can reach 50 thousand hours, 10 times 100 times of incandescent lamp fluorescent lamp, it does not require the use of glass vacuum packaging, does not produce toxic side effects and mercury pollution.

China is the world's second largest power generation. Total electricity generation in 2007 was 32559 kwh, the annual lighting power up to 390 billion kwh, equivalent to the total electricity consumption in the UK a year.

Since the 90s of the last century, the main production of energy-saving lamps are widely used in the country, and I made energy-saving lamps are mainly used for export, the domestic penetration rate is not high. Data show that in 2003 China's production of energy-saving lamps for 1 billion, accounting for 70% of the world's sales market share, the domestic sales of only 350 million.

According to experts, since 2007, North America, Australia are prohibited the use of incandescent legislation. European Union summit meeting in the spring of 2007, the EU countries to phase out incandescent lamps.

Reporter learned in Beijing in the number of process technology development limited interview, Zhejiang is the world's largest production base for energy-saving lamps, production accounted for about 50% of global production, 95% export is used small energy-saving lamp production big regret. As a new light source, LED is more advanced than energy saving lamp.

It is understood that 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 chips and epitaxial wafer production and processing capacity. At this stage, the number of workers in the industry up to 50 Yuwanduo, more than and 20 research institutions and more than 4 thousand enterprises. 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.
