GLII: Analysis of China's LED Industry Investment Situation in 2012 Q1

[Source: "High- tech LED - Research and Review" April issue] According to statistics from the High-tech LED Industry Research Institute (GLII), China's LED industry planning investment in the first quarter of 2012 reached 14.1 billion yuan, down 60% year-on-year. Drop by 70%. Among them, there are 30 projects above designated size (referring to planned investment of 100 million yuan or more). From the data comparison point of view, the investment enthusiasm of the LED industry has plummeted, the lack of market demand and the overcapacity of production capacity are the main reasons for the slowdown in investment.

The data shows that the newly planned investment in the first quarter of 2012 has hit a new low since 2010. At the beginning of 2010, the LED industry began to enter the stage of crazy investment, especially in the upstream epitaxial chip field. Due to the large amount of funds to be invested, billions or even billions of projects abound. However, after nearly two years of crazy investment, the LED market situation is already quite serious. Entering 2012, LED industry investment began to return to rationality.

In the first quarter, the project with the largest planned investment amount was the LED industrialization base project jointly invested by Taiwan Dongbei and Heilongjiang Xinbei Lighting Engineering Co., Ltd. The project has a total planned investment of 1.5 billion yuan and covers an area of ​​200,000 square meters. It mainly produces LED packaging devices and LED lighting products.

Followed by the Wuhan Huacan Phase III LED epitaxial chip construction project with an investment of 1.398 billion yuan. The project will continue to be invested in three years, with a planned investment of 491 million yuan in the first year, a planned investment of 590 million yuan in the second year, and a planned investment of 317 million yuan in the third year. At the same time, the project is also the only LED epitaxial chip project in China in the first quarter.

It is worth mentioning that in March of this year, Japan's Mitsubishi Chemical Co., Ltd. joined Shaanxi Shenguang New Energy Co., Ltd., Nakamura Scientific Equipment Industry Co., Ltd., and Beijing Yuji Technology Development Co., Ltd. in Xi'an Civil Space Base Industrial Park with a total investment of 150 million yuan. Yuan, specializing in the development and production of LED phosphors. Mitsubishi Chemical's red phosphor technology is in a leading position in the world, and this large-scale entry into the country will have a certain impact on the Chinese LED phosphor market.

Looking at the planning investment situation in the first quarter, LED application is a key investment area.

LED application planning investment accounted for nearly half
In the first quarter, the number of investment projects involving application areas accounted for 64% of the total investment projects, and the planned investment amount reached 6.9 billion yuan, accounting for 49% of the total planned investment. In the LED application project, 92% of projects involve lighting.

With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous decline in prices, the popularity of LED lighting will accelerate. The High-tech LED Industry Research Institute predicts that LED lighting will be the key area for LED industry investment in 2012.
