The two sides combined to change the global LED competitive landscape

In recent years, the rapid development of China's semiconductor lighting at the same time, the government to promote the development of a series of major initiatives to attract the attention of the global industry. Coveted by China's huge market, international giants have accelerated the layout of China and the process of cooperation with Chinese enterprises.

The culture blend and economic straits, strengthen cooperation is the heart. For a long time, Europe, the United States and Japan enterprise uses the patent and innovation advantage, mainly engaged in the production of high value-added products; although the LED industry in Taiwan area of our country rises rapidly in recent years, the production and packaging of chip production occupy the first position in the world, but the quality of their products with world-class there are still gaps. After several years of development, the mainland has been in the field of basic research in LED, lighting engineering design, lighting and other aspects of manufacturing has a good foundation, and Taiwan formed a very good complementary advantages. Get rid of this complementary OEM production mode for the Chinese, to enhance the overall strength of both sides of LED, change the competitive landscape of the global LED industry provides the possibility, but whether this may become a reality, it is a test of both sides.

Strong cooperation needs

There is no doubt that the vast mainland market is the most attractive enterprises in Taiwan, although the LED in the mainland development time is not long, but in the mainland to stimulate business opportunities at the beginning of 1990s, Taiwan enterprises in capital investment into the mainland, especially in the coastal area development quickly. As in the downstream packaging, Taiwan billion light Lite, and Li Zhou, Baihong, East Bay and other major manufacturers have set up factories in the mainland. In recent years, the strength of the upstream and downstream enterprises crystal electricity, Guang Lei and Ding Yuan have also launched a cooperation with the mainland.

At present, the two sides of the industry has formed the characteristics of complementary advantages, on the current situation, the competitive advantage of Taiwan LED companies are technology development, manufacturing, marketing and brand building. But after all, Taiwan local market Co., LED market is mainly in the island, the back-end packaging has been transferred to the mainland, the development of the whole industry more and more rely on the mainland. The mainland has LED broad market and low cost production and processing capacity, but the high-end product development, marketing and brand building capacity is weak. Therefore, the two sides have a strong demand for cooperation. "One of the cross-strait industrial cooperation consultation expert analysis, Council member Gao Zhiqian Chinese science and Technology Development Strategy Research Institute of Ministry of science and technology.

This cooperation is also accompanied by the development of cross-strait economic development environment gradually improved. With the change of the investment environment of mainland, Taiwanese investment in mainland China is facing 20 years of transformation of the most severe upgrade test, Taiwan is from one-way investment cooperation to both technology and market levels to seek a breakthrough. Especially after the 2008 global financial crisis, the economic growth pattern of Taiwan export oriented facing external demand a sharp decline in the objective test, the change of international economic environment to further promote cross-strait industrial cooperation situation.

In fact, Taiwan enterprises have a stronger willingness to cooperate than mainland enterprises. The mainland market is a springboard for the international market, in Europe, the United States and Japan, South Korea under intense competitive pressure, Taiwan really want to develop the industry, then, we must take advantage of the mainland to enhance their. "That Gao, for enterprises in Taiwan, the mainland domestic market advantage and Taiwan enterprise global production and sales network advantage, the formation of international brand strategy, get rid of dependence on OEM production mode, is an important machine for industrial transformation and upgrading of Taiwan next encounter.

Alliance lead to lay a good foundation for cooperation

It is seen that the opportunities and prospects for cooperation, as the most important link of industry trade group, the national semiconductor lighting engineering research and Industry Alliance (CSA) since its establishment in 2004, in the "cooperation, win-win, innovation and development" concept, and actively build international cooperation platform, and strive to explore cooperation mechanism do a lot of work for the communication and cooperation between the two sides, to explore the basis of establishing cooperation mechanism has the referential significance of the normalization.

In order to coordinate and promote cross-strait technology, market, standards, personnel exchanges and cooperation, CSA set up on both sides of the three semiconductor lighting group, CSA 2004 including Taiwan, nearly 100 of the semiconductor lighting industry experts at home and abroad, 6 professional consulting organization, to carry out joint research of semiconductor lighting strategy, issued a "map" of development route China semiconductor lighting industry for the first time in China, and pointed out the direction for the development of the industry.

In order to promote the standard research and system construction, CSA and Taiwan Standard Inspection Bureau, electronic inspection center, China Poly foundation, Taiwan Industrial Technology Research Institute to discuss several contacts, promote the process of standardization work, determine the standard system, a clear division of labor. 2007, the main street LED street light standards through the activities of the organization of the alliance, conducted a number of in-depth exchanges, respectively, the current completion of the two sides of the LED street lamp standard draft, will be promulgated and implemented.

In order to build cross-strait exchanges and cooperation in the semiconductor lighting industry information exchange platform, to ensure the normalization of cross-strait LED to CSA, and the Taiwan electrical and Electronics Industry Association (TEEMA), photoelectric semiconductor industry association (TOSIA), optoelectronics industry association (PIDA) and other major industry organizations to establish channels of communication and liaison mechanism, and CSA agreed with TEEMA co hosted the annual "new light & New Energy Forum" in mainland China, and Taiwan Industrial Technology Research Institute in Taipei every two years
