Rapid development of intelligent LED lighting rare metal demand continues to grow

Introduction: in recent years, LED lighting industry each year with an increase of more than 30% rapid development. Especially into 2014, the traditional electric light source products in full retreat, LED lighting terminal penetration continues to improve. In February this year, six ministries jointly issued the plan, the government gradually promote the application of mature technology, energy saving effect of LED lighting products. Under the support of the national advocate of green energy-saving lighting and private LED lighting replacement tide, LED lighting industry further speed, the future prospects of a bright. Ding Wenwu predicted the Ministry of electronic information division, the rapid growth of domestic LED output will continue to maintain 20%-30% next year. 2015 China LED general lighting demand will reach 10 billion U.S. dollars, by 2020 China's LED general lighting demand will reach $22 billion.

LED lighting industry continues to grow rapidly, but also continue to move forward, resulting in a number of new changes and new trends. The last two years, not only the international lighting giant scrambling to launch intelligent LED lights, and even Internet companies have begun to layout LED smart lighting. Intelligent lighting refers to the use of computers, wireless data transmission, spread spectrum power line carrier communication technology, computer information processing and intelligent energy-saving electrical control technology of distributed wireless telemetry, remote control, remote communication control system, to realize the intelligent control of lighting equipment. Intelligent LED lighting can be taken from the simple "light" to create the application needs of intelligent "light environment", LED itself can be digitized and controllable, so that on-demand lighting possible. Data show that the annual demand for more than 10 million smart lighting products, there are smart city pilot of the 193. Intelligent LED lighting not only for the LED lighting industry guidelines for the future direction, but also further promote the development of LED lighting industry, which led to a revolution in the history of human lighting.

From the present point of view, the LED industry is one of the few strategic emerging industries in the world, and it is very promising to turn from an industrial country into an industrial power. At present, China's LED lamps annual output has reached 810 million, product manufacturing and export volume ranking first in the world; the world's largest packaging factory in Guangdong, the largest LED chip factory in Taiwan; domestic chip import substitution ratio increased year by year, in 2013 reached 75%.

Simply put, LED lighting industry can be divided into upstream chip and sapphire substrate, midstream packaging test and downstream lighting applications. Among them, the upstream chip is one of the important links in the LED industry chain with high technology content and high added value. Due to the rapid development of the LED lighting industry, LED chip industry is thriving, according to a recent survey of the LED industry chain, the upper reaches of some large enterprise chips are basically reached the full production of the situation.

LED chips can not be separated from the production of rare metals such as gallium and indium, and wireless communications can not be separated from germanium and silicon and other metals, with the rise and development of intelligent LED lighting industry, the consumption of rare metals is expected to gradually release. Indium Gallium Germanium and other rare metals in China has higher resource advantage varieties, has successively in 2011 in the Pan Asian non-ferrous metals exchange, and gradually become familiar with the majority of individual investors, more and more investors to participate in Pan Asian non-ferrous metals exchange platform for rare metal varieties of commercial storage will gradually realize. This will provide sufficient raw material guarantee for the development of intelligent LED lighting industry in China.
