Rare earth prices soaring, Energy-saving LED lights are increased in sales volume

Since April this year, the rare earth prices skyrocketing. March, or 280 yuan a kilogram, has now risen to 2,600 yuan a kilogram of good quality is more expensive. “Said Liang Yue-shan, which has seriously affected the development of energy-saving lamp industry.

Climbing led to its energy-saving lamps as an important raw material prices rose by at least 30% of rare-earth prices to a period of time.

A 100W ordinary energy-saving lamps priced at 28 yuan, the market the same brightness as incandescent only 1.5 yuan or two yuan, a result, some companies rely heavily on government subsidies. It is reported that the subsidy of an energy-saving lamps can reach 50% of its ex-factory price. In addition, local governments in the promotion of energy-saving lamps will give a certain proportion of financial subsidies.

Not only consumers are “very hurt”, and even some small business profit businesses can also directly call the business increasingly difficult.

Rare-earth prices soaring is the fuse.

Lower prices are only for small profits

“The purchase price is up, but our sale price has been pressing the up, and some less up. Within  the world’s LED lighting market, a boss, but said,” If I were here or follow up the price of sync, people may not come here to buy around here are selling the lamps, and have been very intense competition. “Lin boss also said that, the original profit of 3 yuan of energy-saving lamps now fine-tuning or sharply lower profits.

Energy-saving LED lights are expected to stir up the energy-saving burden of

The prices of raw materials for energy-saving lamps serious “injuries” has unwittingly provided the space for the development of Energy-saving LED lights. Energy-saving LED lights silicon production is very common on Earth, rare earth production of an Energy-saving LED lights chip to be expended in micrograms or energy-saving lamps will have a few grams. “Comprehensive assessment manager of the Shanghai Semiconductor Lighting Engineering Research Center, Li Shu-chi said.
