LED technical barriers to trade has become the biggest export barriers

Emerging market demand for LED lighting up

According to the comprehensive data, due to vigorously promote the awareness of environmental protection and the government, LED lighting penetration rapidly in emerging markets in Russia, India, Southeast Asia, Middle East and Africa, these countries or regions for investment in infrastructure construction of high heat, for LED lighting products demand is obviously rising trend, or will become the global LED market in 2014 another bright spot.

In addition, China's bilateral trade agreements with ASEAN countries, exports to these countries LED products can enjoy lower tariffs or even zero tariffs; especially in Russia on LED lighting demand is very large, the local LED companies less, enterprise scale, technology is still relatively backward, but also on the larger LED lighting demand.

LED technical barriers to trade has become the biggest obstacle

Europe and the United States as an important global application base LED, in the LED standard, has been ahead of other countries and regions, technology and high safety standard requirements has been Europe and other developed countries as trade protection measures frequently used. Through the development of technical regulations, safety standards and other means to set the harsh market access conditions, has become China's largest export of LED lighting products.

Intellectual property disputes and other trade friction increased risk

In recent years, although the number of LED patent applications in mainland China has increased significantly, but the status of the global LED intellectual property rights has not been fundamentally improved. On the contrary, the homogenization of competition caused by the LED intellectual property rights is becoming more and more serious, the problem of the lack of leading industry is becoming more and more serious, and the risk of trade friction is also increasing. At the same time, with China's LED lighting exports rapid increase year by year, the same industry between the low export price competition, the international market tends to saturation state is bound to take on China's LED products anti-dumping and anti subsidy trade sanctions, will also increase the risk of trade friction.
