Subsidy policy will be out of LED lighting market can be expected

June 10 is the National Low-Carbon Day. As the pressure on energy conservation and emission reduction continues to expand, low-carbonization in various fields is also deepening. Xie Zhenhua, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said when attending the 5th Ditan Forum on the morning of the 9th that my country's energy-saving and emission-reduction timetable lags behind expectations, and continuous efforts are needed to achieve the established goals. The next step will focus on strengthening financial support and preferential tax policies for energy-saving and low-carbon enterprises.


In the field of energy-saving electricity consumption, the substitution effect of LED is prominent. According to Xinhua News Agency, my country, the United Nations Development Programme and the Global Environment Facility have carried out the project of “China’s Phase-out of Incandescent Lamps and Accelerated Promotion of Energy-Saving Lamps” (hereinafter referred to as Pileslamp) for 5 years, that is, from 2009 to the end of 2013, the cumulative annual production capacity of incandescent lamps was 6.5%. 100 million, accounting for about 16% of the national incandescent lamp output at that time. Lv Fang, deputy director of the project office of the project, told a reporter from the Shanghai Stock Exchange that the next step will be to accelerate the advancement of the replacement project according to the national elimination roadmap.


The reporter further learned from the Pileslamp Project Office that the energy-saving lamp subsidy policy from 2008 will end at the end of this year. At present, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance and other departments are studying the policy of financial subsidies to promote LED lighting products. The form and intensity of subsidies will be in the promotion of energy-saving lamps. Based on the characteristics of LED lights, make corresponding adjustments.


According to reports, the service life of energy-saving lamps is more than 6,000 hours, which is 6 times that of incandescent lamps, and replacing incandescent lamps can save 60% to 80% of electricity. The life of LED lamps is about 3 times that of energy-saving lamps, and the power consumption is only about 60%. Xie Zhenhua once introduced at the project launching ceremony that the "Phase Out Incandescent Lamp Project" is expected to directly effect about 4 billion kWh of electricity saving and 4.4 million tons of carbon dioxide emission reduction capacity, and achieve carbon dioxide emission reduction of 175-237 million tons in 10 years after the project ends. .


In recent years, carbon emission constraints have been tightened. According to the roadmap for phasing out incandescent lamps issued by the state in 2011, from October 1 this year, the import and sale of incandescent lamps of 60 watts and above for general lighting will be prohibited.


As the roadmap nears the mid-term evaluation time, the pace of phase-out will accelerate further. An executive of an LED listed company told a reporter from the Shanghai Stock Exchange that last year, the total national lighting market was 260 billion yuan, and nearly 80% of the shares were energy-saving lamps. According to the data that the LED market share accounted for 20%-30% by 2015, LED has great potential.


"Because energy-saving lamps contain mercury and are not environmentally friendly, many local governments have cancelled subsidies for energy-saving lamps. The cost-effectiveness and environmental protection effects of household lighting LEDs have been fully reflected. Now we expect LED subsidies to be introduced in time." He said.


Industry insiders analyzed that the LED industry's prosperity began to pick up last year. A few years ago, the price of 5W LED lamps was 3-4 times that of energy-saving lamps with the same brightness. However, in recent years, the price of upstream chips has dropped at a rate of about 30% per year, and the cost has generally decreased. In 2013, the price of LED terminal products was basically the same as that of energy-saving lamps, and the LED industry is expected to enter the stage of fully replacing traditional lighting products.
