Market prospect analysis of LED industry

Semiconductor lighting is widely used and advanced product technology, has been widely regarded as one of the high-tech field has the most potential for development. Semiconductor lighting industry has obvious effect of energy saving and environmental protection, is also considered to be a strategic high-tech industry.

LED industry has experienced two years ago in a downturn, China in recent years in the light emitting diode (LED) technology has made breakthrough, more and more widely used, especially the official launch of the "national semiconductor lighting project", marking the China high brightness LED industry has entered a new stage of accelerated development that provides a good opportunity for the development of LED industry. The ninth session of the national LED industry research and Academic Conference on the theme of semiconductor lighting technology innovation and industrial development seminar".

Since 2003, the city suffered a shortage of energy saving and environmental protection to mention lighting lighting industry development agenda.

In Chinese neon lighting electrical appliance Association in 2004 work conference held in Ji'nan was informed that the lighting requirements of more environmental protection, energy saving, reduce light pollution, green lighting has become a new trend in the development of the domestic lighting lighting industry. The country's more than and 80 neon lighting enterprises and well-known brand enterprises group participants.

Worth mentioning is the development of ultra high brightness and white LED is achieved unprecedented progress. According to the preliminary statistics of China optical photonics industry association of optoelectronic devices branch, in 2003 China's LED production reached 20 billion, the growth rate of 25%, of which about LED high brightness of about, the growth rate of up to 50%.

China has huge lighting industry and lighting market. China is now one of the world's largest producer and exporter of lighting appliances. Through the "863" plan, the plan of science and technology support, China has initially formed a production, from wafer and chip fabrication, integrated device packaging applications relatively complete industrial chain, now the country engaged in the semiconductor device and LED lighting system scale production of more than and 400 enterprises, the package has a large share in the international market. In decorative lighting, automotive lighting market, traffic lights, LED lighting has great potential. At present, the market has not appeared high-power LED, high prices hinder the development of LED in the field of lighting.

According to CIR, the global LED market will grow from $3 billion 200 million in 2004, increased to $5 billion 600 million in 2008, high brightness led the market value will be increased from US $1 billion 600 million to $2 billion 640 million, while the ultra high brightness led the market from 2006 onwards to rapid growth, and accounted for 22% of global market share in 2008.

According to the demand of domestic market forecast, China's lighting industry rapid growth will continue to be more scientific is the problem we are facing to the future forecast. As a new point of economic growth, the Ministry of information industry will strive to create a favorable policy environment for the LED industry, while encouraging technological innovation, expanding the scale of the industry, to strengthen the application of the development of three areas to promote industrial development. National semiconductor lighting of the leading group, the long-term goal in the near future is aimed at the general lighting, power LED with low cost and general technical problems to solve the problem of industrialization, special lighting in the field of semiconductor lighting bright, super bright LED over relatively large technology.

In fully affirmed the achievements of China's LED industry at the same time, we must see clearly the current ultra high brightness LED to master the key technology of semiconductor lighting, for both materials, equipment, or chip packaging technology, application technology has yet to achieve a breakthrough in the true sense. The industry has not yet formed the scale, share in the international market share is still very low, in the majority of affordable products, high-end products less ability of new product development should be strengthened, the development of LED products with independent intellectual property rights has become a pressing matter of the moment. In terms of the domestic market demand, people's living standard has been improved gradually, and the requirements for the quality of the living environment have become higher and higher. Lighting standards for new construction has been completed work, is approved the implementation of new standards, basic international standards, on different occasions, improve the lighting requirements, we also need the production enterprises to adapt to the requirements of the new standard, provide the corresponding products for all types of lighting. From the analysis of the international market, although our exports have increased year by year, but most of our products in the international market is still in the low level, our products and the international advanced level there is still a big gap. In addition, if a large number of low-quality low-priced exports, but also encountered anti-dumping litigation, thereby affecting the export of the whole industry.
