LED record of the South China Sea survival: industrial clusters everywhere rainbow days

Guangdong LED lighting industry long-term development plan to guide the province's LED lighting industry structure adjustment and regional configuration, in order to form a number of large-scale LED Industrial Park, and strive to 2012 the province's LED industry reached 100 billion.

LED Industrial Park, industrial cluster blossom everywhere. One side is the government investment incentives, eager to promote, the other side is patent, standard cost, the cold test of the market, free enterprise China LED in between, in Rainbow Night like environment, exploring their own path of development. Foshan Nanhai District, LED industry is only a microcosm of Guangdong.

Government help

In 2003, China launched the national semiconductor lighting project, in the fifteen period, the cumulative investment guidance funds of one hundred million yuan, and gradually formed a Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, Shanghai and other places represented by the LED industry group. Among them, Guangdong LED industrial scale over the years were ranked first in the country, LED more than 2600 enterprises, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Guangzhou, Jiangmen and other places have introduced the corresponding LED industry in the planning, to go forward with great strength and vigour during the feast of LED share.

South China Sea is no exception. 2009, the South China Sea District government departments, the construction of the optoelectronics industry community to gather more upstream and downstream enterprises, with the characteristics of the South China Sea LED lighting industry chain. Nanhai District, Foshan City, the district believes that the original lighting in the South China Sea, the lighting industry is based on the advantages of the development of the photovoltaic industry, the South China Sea, the cost of manpower, land than Shenzhen, Guangzhou have advantages. "

For industrial upgrading and company development, Guangdong Akinobu Group Chairman Liang Fengyi finally decided to withdraw from the traditional footwear and furniture industry, the original industrial Akinobu electronics, metal, footwear, furniture, real estate and so on, and LED is a new business, means that the original accumulation of reserves used on, but also relates to the problem of employee benefits, complicated. The same is the "left", the general manager Fang Tian Technology Co., Chen Jiang deeply felt, "our workers are very young, some 90, so we also dedicated a room, so that they can call friends over. "

Chen Jiang, the company moved into the industrial community not far from the John day science and technology city last month, more than 100 square meters in the production workshop, the workers sitting in the 10 meters long 3 lines on the busy welding line, and the next market is still empty.

"We are still dominated by the old customers, and other personnel will be launched next month after the completion of the new marketing program, LED lamps, although it is impossible to completely replace the energy-saving lamps, but certainly the future development trend. Chen Jiang said.

However, before the national well-known enterprises FSL (000541, shares), a listed company Xuelaike, Zhao letter position seemed a bit embarrassed.

Market challenges

However, the government throws olive branch and not everyone can catch, the cost is LED industry's first threshold. Compared to ordinary energy-saving lamps, LED lamps cost five or six times higher than the average.

"Even if there are government subsidies, but the price is still higher than the traditional lights, how do you say to people's homes? So a lot of traditional lighting companies do not turn to turn around. "Liang Fengyi said, the whole industry chain of LED chip is the main cost and profit, but over the years has been dominated by OSRAM, Gree, PHILPS and other foreign manufacturers, the number of Chinese LED enterprise though, but mainly concentrated in the downstream packaging detection and application link, the upstream manufacturers once they become downstream wind sways grass, very passive.

Liang Fengyi said, originally a 15 million machine, and later as a result of China LED enterprises, in short supply, suddenly rose to 18 million, "they know we China (upstream manufacturers) in doing the experiment, in many base, Guangdong base, Dongguan base, Jiangxi base are catching up with this one, so quickly the price rise. "

Chen Jiang said, with more and more enterprises to do lighting, LED lighting, enterprises began to transfer price cheaper and Taiwan chip, "generally speaking, foreign LED chip is about 15 yuan, while the mainland and Taiwan for the chip only needs 5 yuan. "Chen Jiang said, using the Taiwan system of LED chip, the chip cost can be decreased to 40% from the original accounting for 60% of the total cost, and the market of LED chip and the hardware price every year has declined, but compared to the ordinary energy-saving lamps, there is a certain gap between the two.

"For now, the high cost of the upstream block, causing our business final sales price is high, so the government will vigorously promote national chip production, there are many bases, hope to be able to keep costs down, let LED lamp actually enter thousands of households. "Liang Fengyi believes that China enterprises attack LED chip manufacturing risk is very large," foreign countries for decades, but also the international monopoly technology, Chinese LED chip companies do must face a ban on the international market, how to break through, this is our current problem. "

At present Chinese LED industry standard is 26, but is based on the LED standard and lighting standard, rarely involves the main components, LED industry technology and key performance, standard detection method of the corresponding index is lacking and no LED and lighting standard of.

Chen Jiang told reporters that the current LED enterprises are facing patent, cost and standard of three major market challenges, LED entry threshold is not high, but to the development of good is not easy, "since the development of LED, just buy the machine we spent millions of dollars, not to give customers the sample cost into account. "

"People ask me how much I sold last year, I said no
