LEDs are driving massive industry change
The quotations of solar energy, wind energy, lithium batteries and other industrial fields have been decreasing steadily. Many people think that the original industrial order and old industrial concepts have been disrupted. However, compared with the degree of damage, in fact, in the field of green energy, the LED industry is the leader. , both renewable power and power reserve deserve to be compared.
A chart of 60 low-carbon economy categories released at the end of August 2016, in which the LED industry is called "the technology that has changed rapidly in human history". The rapid price reduction of wind energy and solar energy is expected to have a considerable impact on the power sector. However, except for a few pioneering countries, the replacement ratio of wind energy and solar energy to traditional power is still not high. However, this is not the case for LEDs. In 2010, the LED market share was still close to zero, but it has been rapidly conquering the city in the past few years, and many replaced other lighting technologies. In 2020, LED will account for 69% of lighting product shipments, and by 2025 It will almost unify the world and account for 95% of the market share of shipments.
If you investigate the quotation trend of the LED industry for a long time, you will not be too surprised that LED can change from a very low penetration rate to a mainstream after the fierce price reduction. With strong competitive price, it not only beat the incandescent bulbs that were originally intended to be replaced in the LED subsidy policies of many countries, but also was lower than the usual fluorescent bulbs (compact fluorescent bulb, CFL), which led to the special (GE) call in 2016. It will discontinue the production of fluorescent energy-saving bulbs, becoming the first major lighting manufacturer to discontinue the production of energy-saving bulbs.
There will be many big manufacturers to follow up and stop producing energy-saving light bulbs, because the development of LED technology is based on semiconductor technology, and the speed of progress is much faster than that of traditional lighting technology. It makes the use of LEDs more competitive in the fields of energy saving and green energy, such as the deployment of renewable power to create an independent microgrid and use it as a lighting method.
LED not only causes damage to competitive lighting products, but also has a considerable impact on the traditional distribution of upstream and downstream industries. Traditional vertical integrated lighting manufacturers originally had an absolute dominant market share, but now they are challenged by many medium-sized competitors and new businesses. In order to concentrate on inferior products, the market structure has changed dramatically. In the traditional lighting market, the four leading companies occupy 81% of the market share, and the other top 100 companies occupy the remaining 19%, but in the LED industry, the four major companies only account for 16%. % of the market, other top 100 companies accounted for 52%, and companies outside the top 100 accounted for 32%.
While LEDs are driving such endless industrial change, they are also driving employment, with LED lighting expected to create 2 million jobs. In addition, LEDs not only affect lighting, because LEDs are widely used in lighting. Now many smart building Internet technologies plan to use LEDs as the basic backbone nodes for IoT communication. In the future, LEDs will not only save power, but also in smart homes, Smart buildings, smart cities and other fields play an important role.
