Global LED Lighting Demand Increases by 60%

According to analysis by industry insiders, the global LED lighting market demand in 2014 will increase by more than 18% year-on-year. It is estimated that the total output value of the upstream and downstream industries in China's domestic LED industry will exceed 320 billion yuan in 2014, an increase of more than 20% from the previous year. Many research institutes have also expressed great optimism about global LED lighting demand. Foreign UBS Securities predicts that the global LED lighting demand will increase by 60% in 2014, with the largest growth in home lighting, which will increase by 90%.

This prediction is not a catch, it is not out of nothing.

Global frequency of "banned" schedule to help LED development

From January 1, 2014, inefficient incandescent lamps will be fully withdrawn from the US market, and 40-watt and 60-watt incandescent lamps will eventually cease production.

Prior to this, many countries and regions in the world have successively issued policies and regulations for the complete elimination of incandescent lamps. The European Union and Japan banned the use of incandescent lamps in 2012. Canada has phased out most incandescent lamps from 2012 to 2014. In November 2011, China released the “China's Road Map for Phase-out of Incandescent Lamps”. It is expected that after 2016, incandescent lamps for general lighting will exit the domestic general lighting market. In addition, South American countries such as Chilean intelligence and Mexico also ranked the daily list of “banned whites” in December 2014.

The “white ban” wind that has been set off in various countries around the world opens the door for LED in China and will boost the development of LED. The two policies, including the market, will also make LED proud and usher in a big explosion.

Renewed energy-saving emission reduction LED first to benefit

The country has always vigorously promoted the process of energy conservation and emission reduction. In recent days, it has intensified its efforts to promote a new trend of energy conservation and emission reduction, promote energy conservation and emission reduction awareness from top to bottom, and realize the national strategy of building an environment-friendly society. deploy.

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission and the State Administration of Taxation jointly issued an announcement on implementing the corporate income tax incentives for EMC projects of energy-saving service companies. It is understood that energy-saving service companies that implement energy-saving benefit-sharing contract energy management projects are inhabited by taxpayers who perform income tax inspections. If the enterprise complies with the relevant provisions of the Enterprise Income Tax Law and the announcement, it may enjoy the “three exemptions, three and five and one half” preferential corporate income tax policy.

Coincidentally, yesterday, the National Development and Reform Commission wrote an article on its website and disclosed that it will strongly promote energy-saving and emission reduction in 2014, and will issue and implement the “2014-2015 Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Carbon Reduction Action Plan”. The implementation of energy intensity and energy consumption increase "double" veto assessment. Formulate plans for the implementation of major industrialization projects for energy-saving, environmental protection, resource recycling, and other technical equipment. And deepen the national action for energy conservation and emission reduction.

The severe energy saving and emission reduction situation has brought about tremendous development space for the energy conservation service industry. Zhou Chun, member of the Energy Conservation Service Industry Committee of the China Energy Conservation Association, said at a recent forum that by 2015, the total output value of China's energy-saving service industry will reach 300 billion yuan, and the number of energy-saving service companies will reach 2,000. In the eyes of the industry, the industry with the most certain growth currently is the LED industry.

The country's emphasis on energy conservation and emission reduction has indirectly led to the development of the LED industry. The LED industry can fully rely on this shareholder to achieve significant development and establish its absolute dominant power in the lighting industry.

LED prices gradually "close to the people" into the homes of ordinary people

LED is not popular, a big reason is that because of its high price, let ordinary consumers talk about price changes, and stay away. According to relevant data, at present, the lowest price of LED bulbs that replace 40W or 60W in many regions in foreign countries has already been lower than US$10. Even the price is comparable to traditional energy-saving lamps.

According to the lighting market, the prices of mainstream white LED products continued to decline in 2014. Among them, 36-50 lumens bulb prices fell 6%, 120-140 lumens bulb prices fell 3%, the price of LED lighting products has been Begin to approach incandescent prices. At present, the wholesale price of 3W LED bulbs is around 11 yuan, which is similar to the wholesale price of some big brands of energy-saving lamps. Even some energy-saving lamps have higher wholesale prices. It can be seen that LED lighting is no longer an obstacle when it comes to home prices.

All kinds of favorable policies come one after another, LED prices also tend to rationally hinder, all show that the external factors that hinder the development of LED are gradually being cracked, but does this mean that LED has ushered in a prosperous road leading to Rome? At this time it is easy to add LED Obviously not too soon. Compared with traditional lighting, LEDs still face constrained problems in channel construction and brand building. In addition, LEDs have also been criticized for slowness in technological innovation and talent building. Therefore, in order for LED to truly achieve long-term development, it is necessary to make up for its inherent disadvantages and continue to exert its power. We will also wait and see the perfect performance of the LED, and wish it "arrive immediately."
