LED home lighting becomes the largest potential market

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the “Circular on Strengthening Work to Ensure the Implementation of the 2013 Energy Saving and Emission Reduction Targets and Tasks.” According to the spirit of the “Notice”, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development are jointly responsible for promoting green lighting projects and implementing semiconductor lighting (LEDs). ) Energy-saving industry planning, continue to implement energy-saving products to benefit people projects, promote the efficient lighting products 130 million. It is reported that the future financial subsidies for green lighting will shift from fluorescent lighting to LED and other efficient lighting products.

Industry data show that this year's LED commercial lighting market is very explosive. In the first half of this year, the total tender for LED street lamps has exceeded 20 billion yuan. The amount of tenders so far in some provinces and cities has far exceeded the level of 2012. In addition, due to the large-scale cooperation between LED companies in China and LED companies in China, the overall upgrading of China's LED water products is expected, as LED technology matures, product prices continue to decrease, the market will be more and more popular, including LED street lamps in The commercial lighting inside will usher in a new wave of rapid growth.

From today's commercial lighting market, LED products are constantly replacing traditional lighting products. In contrast, LED lighting products have the advantages of long service life, high luminous efficiency, more energy-saving and environmental protection, no flash, no radiation and low efficiency. The biggest drawback of “high price” will also be solved gradually as technology continues to improve. Industry insiders also stated that the reason why LED products have not been widely applied to commercial lighting for a long period of time is that prices are a big factor. Therefore, the National Development and Reform Commission will issue a notice to increase energy conservation and emission reduction at this time, which will play an active role in promoting the market share of LED products in the commercial lighting field. The industry generally stated that it is inevitable that LED will enter the commercial lighting field in large scale in the future. On the basis of environmental protection and energy conservation, whether enterprises can accelerate industrial upgrading and introduce cost-effective lighting products will also become the key factor in the survival of the fittest in the future lighting market.

At present, under the promotion of national policies, with the continuous decline in the price of LED lighting products, and then considering the cost of lighting consumption, more and more businesses have begun to actively replace and select LED lighting products. Insiders disclosed to reporters that this year's domestic LED lamp shipments growth rate is expected to exceed 100%, and from the perspective of the next 5 years, LED lamp sales growth rate will maintain at 33% or more, the market sales growth rate Will be maintained at more than 20%, by 2017, LED lamp market sales will reach 44.5 billion yuan.

According to experts from the industry, the market penetration of LED lighting products is hierarchical, and the grading depends on the user's sensitivity to price and the degree of energy urgency. In general, from the point of view of lighting application segments, the long-term demand for factory lighting and commercial lighting is always the first to erupt, and local lighting applications quickly penetrate and eventually gradually move toward home lighting.

Earlier this year, the six ministries and commissions including the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the "Semiconductor Lighting Energy-saving Industry Plan." The planning requirements, LED lighting energy-saving industry, the average annual growth rate of about 30% in 2015 reached 450 billion yuan (of which 180 billion yuan LED lighting applications). The introduction of this plan is undoubtedly a bright light for the LED lighting industry.

From the traditional lighting market in China, the lighting demand in China is very large. In 2012, the domestic market demand for incandescent and energy-saving lamps reached 1.176 billion and 1.269 billion respectively, the market demand for direct fluorescent lamps was 830 million, and the market demand for circular fluorescent lamps was 800 million, for tungsten halogen lamps. The market demand is 755 million... If these will be replaced by LED lighting products, this market will be very broad. Leading the world's leading lighting innovator and semiconductor maker Cree, Schwaboda once stated clearly: "Our goal is to replace every incandescent bulb."

Although the potential market for home lighting is huge, but because the LED lighting needs a large upfront investment, consumer confidence has not yet been fully established, so people in the industry said that although the industry generally optimistic about the prospects of LED home lighting, but the high price and product quality is still LED Home lighting is the biggest stumbling block on the road to popularity. Industry insiders predict that the popularity of LED bulbs in the home market will not be expected to jump from the current 1% to 32% by 2020.
