Lack of core technology and patented LED industry "competition"?

It is understood that at present, more than half of the core technologies and patents of the global LED industry are occupied by developed countries such as the United States and the European Union. China lacks core technologies and patents in the LED field, and there are also problems in which the standards are not uniform and the cooperation between industry, universities and research institutes is loose. Product prices are chaotic, quality is uneven, low-end products are disorderly competition, and high-end products are seriously missing. The industry believes that at present, the LED industry has presented a chaotic situation of “competition”.

Industry winter hard to resist investment boom

According to public data, there are currently more than 8,000 LED manufacturers in China, and they continue to increase at a rate of hundreds or even thousands per year.

The reporter was informed that in the past six months, a total of eight LED lighting companies in China have successfully listed, and six of them have landed on the GEM. The listing speed is amazing. Last year, there were only 7 LED listed companies. On the other hand, in the past year, domestic small and medium-sized LED companies have closed down frequently. In Shenzhen, more than 80 LED lighting companies have closed down, Foshan, Guangdong. In 2011, nearly 10% of LED lighting companies closed down. The LED lighting companies in Dongguan and Zhongshan also fell into a cold wave.

At the same time, foreign capital is in the Chinese market. Recently, Taiwan Dongbei Optoelectronics Group invested 25 million US dollars in LED optoelectronic device production projects, officially started construction in Beijing Digital TV Industrial Park, and will supply LED lighting in North China in the future. In addition, in May this year, OSRAM signed a contract with Wuxi to build a new LED assembly plant in the local area. It is expected to be completed and put into production at the end of 2013, and it will mainly cover the outer casing of LED chips. Following the official operation of the Chengdu Innovation Center, the GE Lighting Xi'an Innovation Center was also established.

Industry label missing pain

At present, there is no unified standard for China's LED industry. Due to the lack of uniform standards and norms, LED lighting application products on the market have various types, different performances, poor interchangeability, and frequent inferior products, which poses severe challenges to the reputation of the entire industry.

According to industry insiders, the International Commission on Illumination, the International Electro-Electrical Committee, the European Commission for Light Engines, the US Energy Star, and the ISA are all setting standards for LED lighting to compete for industry voices.

In China, although local governments have already formulated and tried their own local standards, the standards are confusing, and the enterprises are qualified according to the standards. If they are there, they will become unqualified.

On the other hand, product quality problems caused by the lack of uniform standards are also frequently seen. Recently, some media disclosed that the Guangdong Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau issued the results of provincial-level special supervision and inspection of the quality of self-ballasted LED lamps in Guangdong Province. The sampling results showed that in the batch of 23 batches of self-ballasted LEDs, 17 batches were rejected, and the failure rate was as high as 73.9%.

Industry insiders said that inferior LED products disrupted market prices and made consumers' trust in LED products greatly compromised, leading to a vicious circle.
