After more than 30 years of development, China's LED industry has formed a relatively complete industrial chain including epitaxial wafer production, chip preparation, packaging, and LED product application. At present, China has become the world's largest producer of lighting appliances and Exporting countries have a global market share of more than 50%.
In recent years, with the rapid advancement of technology at all ends of the industry chain, the price/performance ratio has been further improved, and various fields of lighting have been gradually popularized. The export of LED lighting products in China has shown a growth trend, but the recent demand shrinks, the base increases, the exchange rate fluctuates, and the market peaks. As a result of objective reasons, the export growth of LED lighting products is relatively weak.
GGII released the "2017-2018 China LED Lighting Export Monthly Monitoring Report" data statistics show that in April 2018 China's LED lighting products exports totaled about 1.844 billion US dollars, an increase of 1%, the export volume of about 2.307 billion, an increase of 68 %.
GGII analysts said, "The export volume of LED lighting products increased by a year-on-year in April, mainly due to the sharp increase in the number of LED lamp beads exports."
With the technological breakthroughs in the LED general lighting industry to drive down costs, the price of LED general lighting products has fallen to the same level as energy-saving lamps, and the price/performance ratio has further improved. In the future, the LED lighting market will accelerate penetration, and LED general lighting will be the mainstream of lighting products. The industry as a whole is characterized by full market competition, numerous enterprises in the industry, and obvious differentiation between low-end and high-end scales.
Today, the overall market competition pattern is mainly divided into three camps. The first camp is foreign-funded enterprises such as Philips and Osram. Most of them are mainly in the high-end product market, using their innovative advantages in new products and new technologies, mainly engaged in high-level Production of value-added products.
The second camp is the lighting enterprise that the traditional lighting enterprises in China have transformed into LEDs, mainly including Sunlight Lighting, Op Lighting, NVC Lighting, Lidaxin, Foshan Lighting, Debang Lighting, Sanxiong Aurora and other enterprises.
At the same time, in recent years, many domestic enterprises have increased investment in product research and development. The promotion of the market has paid more attention to brand promotion, developed towards branding, and has been rapidly developed, forming a number of branded and large-scale lighting. Lighting manufacturers, some companies have begun to use their own brands to enter the international market.
According to the statistics of the High-tech Research Institute LED Research Institute (GGII), the total number of LED lighting export enterprises in China in April 2018 was about 13,000 (including trading companies and manufacturing companies). Among them, the top ten enterprises ranked a total export of 224 million US dollars, accounting for 12% of the total exports.
In April 2018, LED lighting export TOP10 enterprises are as follows: (Note: This ranking only considers the production enterprises directly reporting exports)
According to Gaogong LED observation, compared with the top ten LED lighting products exported in 2017, the export rankings in April did not change much. It is still the top three in Rieter, Sunshine and Debon Lighting. It is $48.8 million, $43 million, and $37.3 million. Among them, Rieter letter has been continuously exporting the “headsâ€.
In addition to Rieter, Gaoguang LED G20 member companies are still ranked second in the ranking of LED lighting export enterprises. According to the data, Sunlight Lighting mainly sells lighting products through OEM and self-operated methods for internationally renowned lighting companies, overseas lighting wholesalers, and overseas chain terminal supermarkets. At the same time, in order to get rid of the business model based on foundry, Sunlight has already owned overseas subsidiaries in Belgium, Germany, the United States, France, Denmark, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, etc. Develop international markets to achieve sales of private label products.
It is through a precise strategic layout that Sunshine Lighting’s exports in April this year totaled US$43 million, and its export share accounted for 2.33%. Export destinations and proportions are: US (22.7%) France (12.6%), Poland (10%), Indonesia (6.2%), Turkey (4.2%), Argentina (3.7%), South Korea (3.2%), Netherlands (3%).
From the list, the United States has become the largest export destination for the top ten companies. According to the statistics of the High-tech Research Institute LED Research Institute (GGII), in April 2018, the total export value of China's top ten LED lighting exports reached US$1.038 billion, accounting for 56% of the total export value.
It can be seen from the above statistics that the United States is still the country with the largest export value of LED lighting products in China, with an export value of about 485 million US dollars, accounting for 26%.
When it comes to the US market, it is necessary to mention the Sino-US trade war that has been rampant in April this year. It is reported that on April 4, 2018, the US government officially issued the "301 Investigation" proposal to levy a 25% tariff on Chinese products and list 1300 tax numbers. The LED products with a large proportion of China's exports to the United States are mainly concentrated in downstream applications, such as lighting products category 94054090, 94051000, display type 85312000, etc., but the above items are not within the scope of this 301 list. Therefore, in terms of the amount of LED lighting products exported to the United States in April and the number of products, it has not been affected by the trade war.
However, due to the small number of local manufacturing products manufacturers in the United States, most of the lighting brand companies and sales channels entrusted Chinese OEMs. If the above-mentioned application products are taxed in the future, I am afraid that the price of this type of products sold in the US market will rise sharply.
It is worth noting that among the top ten enterprises exporting LED lighting products, except for the other nine export destinations of Kaiyao Lighting, the United States has the largest proportion. Of course, Kai Yao Lighting also has a large proportion of exports to the United States, reaching 17% of its total exports, ranking second in its export destinations.
From this point of view, the United States is the main destination for the export of LED lighting companies in China. It is gratifying that after a few days of intense negotiations, China and the United States issued a joint statement on the 19th local time. The two sides will finally reach a consensus on not engaging in trade wars and will strengthen economic and trade cooperation in many fields. The trade truce is undoubtedly a major positive for the economic development of China and the United States. The stock market opening of the two places on Monday is a reflection of confidence in the market. Although it has little effect on LED downstream applications, it is also a happy thing for LED export companies.
