Highest LED lighting penetration rate in Japan
As Japan's domestic lighting manufacturing industry developed well, complete industrial chain matching, advanced manufacturing technology. In the upper reaches of the industrial chain, there are five well-known chip maker Nichia in Tokushima Prefecture and Aichi Prefecture in the Toyota synthesis; In addition, Showa Denko and Roma Semiconductor is also committed to LED chip development, Toshiba Electronics has Through the purchase of Bridgelux's patented technology involved in silicon substrate; MOCVD equipment manufacturers have large sun acid; epitaxial graphite carrier manufacturers have the East and the East China Sea carbon.
Midstream packaging has Citizen and Sharp, the packaging materials are Shin-Etsu Chemical, and Kyocera's ceramic package. In addition to Matsushita, Toshiba, light source also includes NEC, Hitachi, Sharp, Mitsubishi, etc., known as HID experts Iwasaki Electric, as well as rising star Alice; lamps, Endo, Koizumi, mountains and other Features; special lighting field, small for headlights, Stanley can be described as multi-talented, and the Owl motor known as authentic LED filament lamp originator. OLED, Panasonic, Mitsubishi Chemical, Sumitomo Chemical, Idemitsu Kosan, Konica Minolta and the clock walk in the forefront.
Japan's land area is small, densely populated, natural resources are scarce, but the local manufacturing industry is highly developed, Asia's most developed countries and the world's third largest economy. It is understood that the 2011 earthquake caused nuclear leaks to the Japanese people's energy consumption concept of disruptive changes and found that nuclear energy is no longer people sit back and relax, the urgent need for energy-saving lighting with emerging LED lighting has come in handy, which ushered in the rapid development of LED industry.
Since 2011, LED replacement products to high-speed growth, less than three years has occupied the lighting market, most of the country; and LED energy-saving advantage also has long life characteristics, which makes the end of 2013, replacement products market quickly Approaching saturation, the market began to shift potential LED integrated lighting direction. Japan's lighting industry, industry planning envisaged in 2020, Japan's lighting market will be 100% sales of LED products; by 2030, including the sale and use of all lighting products for LED products. Overall, Japan is now the world's highest penetration rate of LED lighting in developed countries.
Japan also has a strong product development and manufacturing capabilities, improve the supporting industries, which also determines its relatively closed market. Strong as the international giant PHILIPS and OSRAM also failed to really open the Japanese market, but rely on acquisitions, joint ventures, etc. to enter. In addition, the Japanese market lighting products certification from the system (PSE certification), strict requirements on electrical safety, such as external power supply LED lamps require A class PSE diamond certification. In addition to the power supply must be isolated power supply, while the whole chip and the phosphor chips are also patented. High entry barriers, single customer requirements are high, but the total and profits are impressive, generally good reputation, it is suitable for the production of high-end products into the enterprise.
Although Japan as a lighting products manufacturing power and power, with self-sufficiency, but China's lighting products is still an important market for exports. China's exports to Japan in 2015 all the lighting products 1.34 billion US dollars, down 14.2%; of which 570 million LED lighting products, down 6.57%, exports ranked fourth in the export destination, and LED lighting products in 2016 about 500 million, year on year decline further, is still the highest export destination country 4 (excluding re-exports of Hong Kong).
Traditional light source products, the first to see the thermal radiation source, in March 2010, produced the first incandescent bulb in Japan, Toshiba announced the shutdown of its manufacturing 120 years of incandescent lamp, the Japanese government has been working to incandescent lamp out of the market. But the reality, the market is still on the sale of incandescent, from the export figures can be seen still a small amount of incandescent lamp exports to Japan, the relative price change is not. The quantity, amount and unit price of the tungsten halogen lamp basically showed a downward trend. Fluorescent products have been the Japanese market is more popular products, whether it is a compact fluorescent or straight tube and circular fluorescent lamp, LED lighting products in recent years because of the alternative to enter the progressive down channel, unit price is basically stable.
HID, high-pressure sodium lamp is less imported products in Japan, on the one hand because of its outdoor applications prefer metal halide lamp, on the other hand more since the production for sale; high-pressure mercury lamp because of its high energy consumption and mercury-containing disadvantages, In recent years, quantity, amount and unit price are showing a significant downward trend, which is in line with the global common trend; metal halide lamps are subject to the impact of the most direct LED products, the decline in the indicators is also very obvious. In summary, with the LED lighting products cost-effective rising, making it between the traditional products and the shift in the future for a long period of time, the traditional lighting products and LED lighting products will coexist in the market, LED lighting Product share will increase year by year.
