The rare earth phosphor raw materials, fluorescent led desk light , energy saving lamps, LED device package to be used in phosphors, so their prices caused a chain reaction is bound to bring a greater impact on related industries. Fluorescent lamps (energy saving lamps) since 2010, the prices of important raw materials of rare earth in the LED device production rose sharply, the highest increase of 124%, the current price is still in the sharp fluctuations. In this Bright Lighting Appliance Co., Ltd. Wang Wanchuan general manager analysts believe that the future of rare earth and other raw materials prices will continue to rise.
According to statistics, 80% of the world's energy-saving lamps are produced in China, China has more than 3,000 energy-saving lamps and related enterprises, with an annual output of over 3 billion energy-saving lamps, energy-saving lamps truly global manufacturing center. But the high-end market is basically occupied by foreign brands such as GE, Philips, Chinese manufacturers mostly hovered in the low-end market, low profits. Swallowed this domestic rare earth prices is bound to a large number of China's energy-saving lamp enterprises originally not high profit. In addition, the prices of raw materials continued turmoil will intensify market risk, large-scale enterprises can still through the vertical integration of the upstream and downstream industry chain resources, even through the hoarding of rare earth, and resolve some of the risk. For small-scale, the operation of the market is weak, weak anti-risk capability enterprise formed impact will be even greater.
Although rare earth is also one of the important raw materials for LED lighting products, but as a newly developed product, high power led flashlight profit is still relatively high, the basic 30%, but also from a cost point of view, although the price of rare earth and metal materials will be increased year by year, but accounted for a major part of the cost of LED lighting products chip prices will show a declining trend, can offset price factors. In this case, it is expected that more enterprises will accelerate fought in the field of LED lighting products. In fact, in recent years, traditional lighting companies are mostly put into the production of LED lighting products, but the intensity of different sizes. However, with increasing prices of raw materials such as rare earth, traditional lighting products market competition further intensified, will enable more companies recognize the transition to the LED is the trend is expected to accelerate this process. Such as domestic lighting enterprises sun lighting the LED project, announced plans to invest about 10 billion yuan to develop its LED business.
Sun lighting before Japan LIREN 30.188% of the company's equity held by 1.2376 million yuan, is an important measure to the LED layout. However, it should be noted that the prices of raw materials factors are of course big business into the LED lighting industry have kept the traditional lighting field, will also drive more small businesses to join the LED market. Currently, the semiconductor lighting industry has been facing enterprises, small scale, lack of technological innovation, and most enterprises are concentrated in the low-end of the market, competition and other low-level redundant accelerate access to a large number of traditional lighting companies, is bound to become more intense competitive situation.
Due to the survival of China's low-end processing and manufacturing in the past "cheap labor" environment is changing. China's LED industry is only committed to enhancing the capacity of scientific and technological innovation, accelerate industrial upgrading, the only hope for the development. Apply at the current NPC session, Premier Wen Jiabao A reporter asked remark, "The revitalization of China is not only in the total economy, there is still talent and scientific and technological progress," the key to the success of China's semiconductor lighting industry is the high-tech talent a large number of training and enterprise innovation ability constantly enhanced. Therefore, from this perspective, the prices of rare earth, perhaps towards a new path of development opportunity to promote China's semiconductor lighting. So another point of understanding that is rare earth raw materials prices has become the trend of the times, the 2011 copper and iron aluminum, glass tube, and other raw materials, labor costs, utilities, land prices and rent costs are rising again and again. These are driven LED lighting companies in China to speed up industrial restructuring and upgrading of objective factors. China LED companies to repeat the traditional lighting industry is only in the past focused on the production of low-end products, go low profits, the old low level of vicious competition is no future.
