LEDs are like the rising sun, and they have ushered in rapid development in recent years. At present, there are 1,150 LED enterprises in Shenzhen. The output value will exceed 40 billion yuan this year, and the industrial scale will continue to grow at an annual rate of over 30%. In order to tap the huge business opportunities of the LED industry and protect their own interests, Europe, the United States and Japan have set up technical barriers, which makes the Shenzhen LED industry that exports 90% "very hurt". The reporter was informed yesterday that more than 30% of LED export enterprises in Shenzhen were affected by foreign technical trade barriers, and the direct losses amounted to billions of dollars.
Frequent incidents in the LED industry
On February 9 this year, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Innovage jointly announced a voluntary recall of the Chinese-made Discovery Kids(TM) Animated Marine and Safari lamps.
The luminaire was sold in the United States from July 2009 to January 2010 at a price of $10 per unit. The number of recalled goods was about 360,000. The reason for the recall is that the printed circuit board of the luminaire is prone to short circuit and poses a risk of fire and burns to the user. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that consumers immediately stop using the recalled fixtures and contact Innovage for a return and full refund.
According to the results of the Institute of Technical Trade Measures of the Shenzhen Institute of Standards and Technology, this year, China's LED products have only encountered similar incidents in the European and American markets. Yesterday, Li Meng, deputy director of the Institute of Technical Trade Measures of Shenzhen Standard Technology Research Institute, said in an interview with Shenzhen Business Daily that since the core patent technology of LED has been monopolized by European, American and Japanese manufacturers, many Chinese companies have encountered overseas. Patent litigation, and most of the compensation settlement ended.
According to information from the Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, in the first half of this year, among the export lamps that Shenzhen was recalled by the European Union, LED lamps accounted for nearly 40%. Technical barriers to trade have become a major obstacle to the development of this industry. Shenzhen is now the world's leading LED lighting production base, backlight production base, and display production base. However, because the core technology is monopolized by European, American and Japanese manufacturers, the existing foreign technical trade barriers in the LED industry have made the product export channel unsmooth.
In the first half of this year, the Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau organized a survey on the impact of foreign technical barriers to trade of Shenzhen enterprises. The results showed that more than 30% of export enterprises were affected by foreign technical barriers to trade, and the direct losses amounted to billions of dollars, which brought them to enterprises. The losses far exceed the other market access barriers such as anti-dumping, countervailing and tariffs.
Europe and the United States set the "wall" for the LED frequency
Relevant data shows that in the relevant patent countries of LED applications, the total number of patents in Europe, America and Japan accounts for 85% to 90% of the world's total, while the share of Chinese patents is less than 10%. Zhang Xiaofei, secretary-general of China LED Industry Theme Summit Forum, said that 10% of the patents are also concentrated in the middle and lower-end packaging and application fields. There are very few patents involving core chips and epitaxy, and “patents are often used to apply for projects. There are not many productions and practical ones."
The monitoring report of the Shenzhen Institute of Standards and Technology's Technical Trade Measures Institute provided to Shenzhen Business Daily reporters shows that in order to regulate the emerging market of semiconductor lighting, the International Organization for Standardization and European, American and Japanese countries have formulated relevant standards or technical regulations. Constructed more complicated technical barriers to market access. These include safety barriers, energy efficiency barriers, performance requirements, electromagnetic compatibility requirements, measurement method requirements, and environmental protection requirements.
In addition, semiconductor lighting products need to comply with the traditional lighting standards, and carry out corresponding testing and certification, while also meeting the statutory conformity assessment procedures required by the exporting target country. On the other hand, new technical barriers have been introduced, and corporate challenges have increased. As an emerging product, the technical trade measures system for semiconductor lighting products is not fully stereotyped and is still developing. The introduction of various standards and technical regulations has led to increased uncertainty in the market access for semiconductor lighting, and the difficulty of corporate response.
Shenzhen rises to "break the wall"
Faced with the siege of technical barriers in Europe, the United States and Japan, Shenzhen is actively seeking a "broken wall" approach. The reporter learned that Shenzhen has promoted the development of the LED industry through the construction of industry alliances and international procurement and trading centers. Last year, the Shenzhen LED Industry Standards Alliance, which consists of 42 LED production, research and research units in Shenzhen, was unveiled. The alliance is dedicated to the research, application and service of LED related standards.
Then, Shenzhen LED International Purchasing and Trading Center was established in Shenzhen Huaqiang North Huaqiang Electronics World. The center integrates LED related product display, international purchasing transaction, LED application design and creative design display and communication functions. It is the embodiment of Shenzhen LED industry's core competitiveness. It is also a platform for resource sharing and exchange between government, enterprises and industry.
Qi Shirong, executive vice president and secretary-general of the Shenzhen LED Industry Association, said that the eight platforms that helped companies break technical barriers and boost enterprises to dig deep into LED “gold mines†are in full swing. These include: Shenzhen LED Indoor Lighting Display and Transaction Purchasing Center, Shenzhen LED Lighting Design Institute, LED Industry Engineering Technology Research Institute, Shenzhen LED Patent Alliance, Shenzhen LED Industry Cluster Park, Shenzhen LED Information Platform, Financial Service Platform , domestic and foreign market platforms.
On August 30, the first LED patent technology industry alliance in China was announced in Shenzhen. The alliance will give full play to the role of the government, industry, management departments, and industry organizations, and strive for more technical discourse power to promote the development of the LED industry. The alliance will adopt the "patent pool" approach, integrate various patents, cross-licensing, and mutual licensing, jointly promote LED technology research and development and patent applications, and avoid the adverse impact of patent barriers on the industry.
