LED Consolidation within The Industry Are Frequent

LED lighting

Meanwhile, the decline in the market price of LED lighting has also spawned a consolidation within the industry and the survival of the fittest, more and more international companies tend to buy all kinds of regional access vendor or technology vendors to expand its own lighting pathways, establish or develop patent network integrated solutions to enhance their competitiveness in order to maintain market leadership.

Toshiba announced in April 2013, the acquisition of LED lighting manufacturer Bridgelux white LED chip development related assets, through this acquisition is intended to strengthen the white LED lighting business. The Bridgelux high level of technology and experience with Toshiba's semiconductor production technology together, thus expanding the product line of white LED products, while expanding production scale, strengthen competitiveness; Meanwhile, Toshiba use the acquisition of assets, accelerate the development of semiconductors and related products to promote.

Similarly, Philips also through the acquisition of various component suppliers and control system vendors to build a strong patent network. In addition, through the acquisition of regional lighting manufacturers, but also for its regional expansion path lighting provides effective help. Acuity Brands Lighting equipment manufacturers in recent years have acquired a large variety of lighting solutions vendor, its purpose is combined with intelligent management system, the development of its intelligent lighting industry.

In response to these increasingly significant acquisitions tide, insiders pointed out that LED lighting industry giants competing to get involved to help improve the industry will become increasingly apparent homogeneity, low industry concentration solution to the current dilemma.

Relative to overseas LED lighting giant increase industry concentration through acquisitions to enhance our domestic LED lighting industry concentration is currently overseas markets by means of "cut white" trend "Dongfeng", released in August last year the EU energy efficiency of LED lighting products The new standard, which provides the second phase in 2014, the energy efficiency index of 0.2, China is currently implementing a standard 2.2-fold after the implementation of new regulations, one on product certification and compliance checks fees must be increased by about 10,000 yuan, which will eliminate LED lighting as part of the overseas foundry to make a living doing small number of Chinese lighting manufacturers to effectively promote the upgrading of the industry concentration in China.
