The industry sentiment continues to improve, and LED lighting is expected to fully explode in 2014.

The continuous growth in demand for lighting has driven the LED industry into a one-way upward channel since 2013. With further restrictions on the use of incandescent lamps and the decline in prices of LED lighting products, LED lighting has ushered in a rapid development opportunity. Recently, major chip manufacturers have reported an average utilization rate that is nearly at full capacity, with the utilization rate of four-element high-brightness LEDs reaching 100% and blue LEDs exceeding 90%. Production lines are working overtime to meet demand, reminiscent of the bustling scenes of 2009 and 2010 during the off-season. Based on data from various manufacturers and research institutions, it is expected that the shipment scale of LED lighting will exceed 100%.

The risks in the LED industry are increasing, and quality remains paramount - Insights from the bankruptcy of Xiongji.

The closure of a business is a normal reshuffling process that any industry must go through. However, the news of the owner of Zhongshan Xiongji Lighting Factory fleeing has caused quite a stir. In recent years, due to the national emphasis on the development of LED technology and the promotion of various favorable policies, a large amount of capital has flowed into the LED industry. However, the lack of industry standards has led to an influx of low-quality and low-priced products, and Zhongshan Xiongji Lighting Factory has become a typical example of producing inferior products. The owner of the lighting factory has fled, leaving unpaid wages that have already been advanced. According to a report from the government of Guzhen Town in Zhongshan City, the operator of Xiongji Lighting Factory, Mr. Xie, is suspected of fleeing and is involved in contract fraud and refusal to pay labor remuneration. The local public security has initiated criminal proceedings and formed a special task force.

The wave of bankruptcies in the LED industry: maintaining quality is the only way out.

Warren Buffett said: "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked." According to statistics, this year the number of LED companies closing down nationwide has exceeded 10%, with more than 100 in packaging and over 300 in lighting, most of which are small enterprises. Only when a crisis strikes does it increasingly test a company's ability to withstand pressure and its rationality. The market environment is bleak; not only is there an oversupply of upstream chip packaging, but the downstream application industry is also oversaturated. Some companies, in order to survive the last month of the year, are willing to lower prices and quality to get through the winter. Trading price cuts for increased sales will harm the company's interests and subsequently dampen production enthusiasm.

Valuing the high value-added industrial chain of LED lighting may be the way out for the industry.

In the next three years, China's LED lighting industry will enter a period of rapid growth. According to the "12th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Semiconductor Lighting Technology" released by the Ministry of Science and Technology in August this year, by 2015, the scale of China's semiconductor lighting industry is expected to reach 500 billion yuan, with the cost of LED lighting products reduced to one-fifth of the 2011 level, and a market share of 30% in the general lighting market. Local governments are increasingly supporting the LED lighting industry. However, the LED industry is currently facing a serious crisis of overcapacity, homogeneous competition, and a vicious cycle of low-price competition, and the LED industry chain urgently needs development.

Bluetooth 4.0 LED Light Control Solution

1. Opportunities in LED Lighting Compared to traditional light source products, LED lights are widely regarded as a revolutionary and alternative technology due to their high luminous efficiency, long lifespan, mercury-free composition, and low total cost of ownership. With the global ban on the production and use of incandescent bulbs being implemented, incandescent bulbs will gradually disappear from the market. In China, the National Development and Reform Commission announced that starting from October 1, 2012, the import and sale of ordinary incandescent bulbs of 100 watts and above will be banned nationwide, which undoubtedly creates significant opportunities for LED lighting companies. As the LED lighting market continues to expand, various businesses are competing in the market.
