With the continuous popularization of the concept of green environmental protection, energy saving and low carbon life, energy saving and environmental protection products are increasingly valued by the society. Green lighting represented by LED has begun to penetrate the traditional market with its outstanding advantages, and has set off a new market in the field of lighting. revolution. China's semiconductor lighting industry has become one of the fastest-growing regions in the transformation and upgrading of the global lighting industry, with a foundation for development from large to strong. In 2014, my country's semiconductor lighting industry ushered in an inflection point, product prices continued to decline, and the terminal market was ushering in an unprecedented period of growth opportunities.

In 2013, the overall scale of my country's semiconductor lighting industry reached 257.6 billion yuan, an increase of 34% compared with 192 billion yuan in 2012, becoming the year in which the domestic semiconductor lighting industry developed faster after 2010. Among them, the scale of upstream epitaxial chips reached 10.5 billion yuan, the scale of midstream packaging reached 40.3 billion yuan, and the scale of downstream applications exceeded 200 billion yuan, reaching 206.8 billion yuan.

At the same time, the development of the lighting industry is mainly affected by various factors such as government policies, manufacturing costs and end-users' willingness to purchase. According to the "China's Roadmap for Phasing Out Incandescent Lamps", from October 1 this year, my country will prohibit the import and sale of incandescent lamps of 60W and above for general lighting. Compared with traditional energy-saving lamps, LED lighting products are more energy-saving and environmentally friendly, so there will be a broad market space for LED lamps to replace incandescent lamps. At the same time, the state supports the energy-saving and environmental protection industry. As a strategic emerging industry, the LED industry is more prominent for its energy-saving and environmental protection advantages, and its market prospects are also highly expected by the industry.

In 2013, the penetration rate of LED lighting products increased rapidly, and the market prosperity continued to improve due to the dual effects of the decrease in the cost of light sources and the promotion of policies. In 2013, the output of domestic LED lighting products in my country exceeded 810 million, and the domestic sales volume was about 400 million. The penetration rate of LED lighting in the domestic market reached 8.9%, an increase of nearly 5 percentage points from 3.3% last year, especially in the field of commercial lighting. More obviously, according to incomplete statistics, the penetration rate of LED lamps in the field of commercial lighting has exceeded 12%.

Dr. Wu Mingming, research director of CSA Research, pointed out that from August 2013 to March 2014, the price of LED bulbs on Taobao decreased from 8.08 yuan/W to 6.10 yuan/W, a drop of 24.5%, and the export price of bulbs decreased in two years. 66%, but from the perspective of data, the rate of price decline has slowed down significantly, which has a significant mitigation effect on the price war, but the price will continue to fall further.

In addition, the joint promotion of the incandescent lamp ban by many countries and a number of energy-saving policies issued by the Chinese government are favorable conditions for the development of LED lighting. In the past ten years, the average annual growth rate of China's output value is 39%, and the output value in 2013 was 257.6 billion yuan. Forming industrial agglomeration, the LED lighting market in the four major regions was launched in 2013, accounting for more than 1/3 of the application output value. Next, China's LED industry will usher in a golden period of development.

On the one hand, due to technological progress and large-scale production, the cost of component packaging and application has dropped rapidly, resulting in the sales price of LED lighting products gradually approaching the price of traditional lamps.

According to the US Department of Energy, by 2020, the cost of LED chips will be reduced by 82% compared with 2013, the cost of LED packaging will be reduced by 78%, and the cost of 60-watt LED chips will be reduced by 66%. The decline in cost will promote the penetration rate of LED lighting products. One of the main reasons for the increase.

On the other hand, the continuous investment of government resources and the formulation of related policies also promote the development of the market. 2012 was the peak period for the first wave of incandescent lamp bans in the world. For example, South Korea, Japan and other regions entered the stage of complete ban. In 2014, the European Union, the United States, China and other places will also gradually enter the stage of banning mainstream incandescent lamps, which will once again increase the penetration rate of LED lighting.

CSA Research pointed out that it is expected that in 2014, China's semiconductor lighting industry will continue to maintain rapid growth, and the growth rate is expected to reach about 40%. In the epitaxial chip segment, with the full launch of the application market, the production capacity accumulated by investment in recent years has been gradually released. In 2014, the output and output value of epitaxial chips will increase significantly, and the output value growth rate is expected to reach about 35%. The competition in the packaging industry is more intense, and the growth rate is expected to be around 20%, and more new packaging technologies and processes will compete. However, the evolution of LED packaging technology has always revolved around the theme of continuous decline in end-use costs. In the application segment, with the advantages of Chinese manufacturing, the output value growth rate in 2014 will exceed 50%.

In terms of lighting applications, in 2014, with the further implementation of plans to phase out incandescent lamps in various countries, LED lighting will achieve explosive growth, leading China's LED application market, and penetration will accelerate. It is estimated that the overall penetration rate of LED lamps is expected to reach 20%. Intelligent lighting will shine with the construction of smart cities, and innovative application products such as wearable electronics, optical communications, and plant lighting have become new favorites in the market. As the market demand for LED lighting begins to increase and the country successively introduces LED-related policies, it will inevitably accelerate the development of the LED industry market, and China's LED lighting industry will also usher in a golden harvest period of market inflection point.
