With the collapse of the situation, why the fate of China and Japan LED different?

In the global LED industry bad climate, China part of small and medium sized LED enterprises struggling on the verge of bankruptcy, in a constant state of anxiety. Japan LED looks even worse, even large enterprises like giants are on the verge of death or destruction.

In October last year, Matsushita officially closed production of LED lighting products sold to Japan's West Java factory, will shift production back to Japan in Iraq factory; LED lighting products sold to Southeast Asia and the Chinese business moved to Indonesia's East Java factory. Toshiba in July last year exposed the water injection scandal, into a financial crisis, the kingdom of one hundred years overnight collapse. In this year's concern, hung Xia love, SHARP is also a serious loss, the first three quarters of fiscal year net loss of 108 billion 300 million yen (about $6 billion).

However, careful study will find that Japan LED's failure is simply "soulstirring", Japan LED down the "soul" is still.

China LED fell scattered, but the Japanese LED but not scattered

In China, the news of the collapse of LED companies in the news reports, the boss is often lost on foot, staff pull banners to discuss salary, it is difficult to revitalize these enterprises. Japan's LED is trying to create a "but not" miracle.

Toshiba is Japan's largest semiconductor manufacturer, has announced in July 2014 plans to end the year before the end of 2016 white LED global market share of 10%. Which expect in 2015 suffered a financial crisis, the target was cut down". In order to restructure the enterprise, so far, Toshiba has been part of the semiconductor business sold to SONY, all of the medical equipment business will be sold to Canon, the white goods business will be sold to the u.s..

Toshiba will sell and sell light bulbs and lighting in China, a subsidiary of China Konka Group, including Hongkong, Fuzhou, 2 subsidiaries and part of the business of the Kunshan subsidiary. Toshiba retains the Kunshan subsidiary of commercial lighting lighting and other departments.

More importantly, Toshiba still holds in 2012 the United States from the acquisition of silicon substrate LED R & D department and technical patents. Also, Toshiba lighting business subsidiary ToshibaLitec is still active in the LED lighting business development plan, known as the industry's most energy-efficient Tenqoo series focusing on attacking Tokyo Olympic lights for business opportunities.

Toshiba and Panasonic LED career has not gone. At present, Japan's most high-profile residential LED lighting products, ceiling lamp is Toshiba and Matsushita, Toshiba LED chip with 3 color blue, white, light color simulation of the morning, noon to evening, and the color temperature of illumination is the main Panasonic for reading.

Panasonic is Japan's current domestic lighting market share of top enterprises, in December last year, Matsushita released in Japan and the promotion of LED Luminascape lamp series, lock square, sidewalks, parks, commercial buildings and other places to promote the show.

SHARP's dedication to the cause of LED moved. In July last year, in the face of the danger of the sale of Sharp Co headquarters, SHARP is still spending to build the first city of Japan's solar LED lighting charging stations for free use of international tourists to japan. Not long ago, SHARP announced plans in the second half of this year will be LED lighting plant plant strawberry cultivation equipment exports to the United Arab Emirates, Arabia, the target for the annual revenue of 2 billion - 3 billion yen.

China LED massive expansion, the Japanese LED dig deep inside

Last year, in the overcapacity shouting, Chinese LED companies sounded the clarion call to enter the world in full swing. This is China's LED national brand to seek a good position in the world. But in fact, as a great country of Chinese, the current LED lighting penetration rate is only 20% - 30%. In the "made in China" 2025 key areas of technology roadmap, in 2020 the general purpose of the penetration of the lighting target is 60%, in 2025 the target is 80%.

As a tiny area of Japan, 2015 LED lighting penetration rate of 60% - 70%, ranking first in the world, however, is still not satisfied, do not think that "overcapacity". Japan's residential market has about 90% using LED lighting, public space LED lighting penetration rate is far less than residential.

Japan lighting industry (JLMA) in 2014 set a goal, in 2020 to reach 100% for residential lighting LED lighting, public building lighting LED ratio of more than 50%; public places lighting products for use requirement, the replacement is slower, so until 2030 to LED.

Last November, the Japanese government proposed the plan ahead of time to 2020 public places full replacement for LED lighting, LED lights, OLED lights, in addition to the new generation of energy-saving lighting, incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp will be banned in Japan or Japanese input production.

Another source said that as part of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games publicity, the Japanese government hopes to LED lighting penetration rate of 100% in the year to 2018, to encourage public institutions and enterprises to replace LED lighting as soon as possible.

Japan's public space LED lighting penetration rate is far less than the target, therefore, the Japanese lighting market to outdoor large space lighting needs, which has become a business opportunity for Japanese LED companies. Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020 will continue to bid for the relevant construction projects, related facilities lighting system orders will follow.

LED companies in Japan in 2016, will be subject to the Olympic and consumption tax increase in the dual incentive of the Japanese market as the center, and actively develop LED lighting business. Including Toshiba, Matsushita, MITSUBISHI, Hitachi, NEC, Iwasaki electric, a large number of Japanese LED companies are eager for a fight, ready to go.
