Recently, five departments including the National Development and Reform Commission issued a joint announcement that in order to improve energy efficiency, protect the environment, and actively respond to global climate change, according to the "People's Republic of China Save Energy Law," it was decided to gradually ban imports from October 1, 2012 (including Customs supervised areas and import of bonded supervision sites) and sales of general lighting incandescent lamps.
So, how will the roadmap for the elimination of incandescent lamps be planned? How will this plan affect the lighting industry and the market? How will the lighting industry seek new development in the countdown of incandescent lamps? On this topic, the reporter recently interviewed experts and related companies in the lighting industry.
Incandescent lamp encounters "bad luck"
The end of the incandescent light is sooner or later. Following the EU’s plan to phase out incandescent bulbs before 2012, China also has a clear plan for eliminating incandescent bulbs. In the "China's Roadmap for Phase-out of Incandescent Lamps" issued jointly by the five agencies such as the National Development and Reform Commission, it is clearly stated that China's phase-out incandescent lamp roadmap is divided into five phases, and imports are gradually banned in stages from October 1, 2012 ( Including imports from customs special supervision areas and bonded supervision sites) and sales of general lighting incandescent lamps. The first phase, from November 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012, is a transitional period. The relevant importers and sellers should do a good job in preparatory work according to the requirements of this bulletin. The second phase, starting from October 1, 2012, prohibits the import and sale of incandescent lamps of 100 watts or more. The third stage, starting from October 1, 2014, prohibits the import and sale of incandescent lamps of 60 W or more. The fourth phase, from October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016, is the mid-term evaluation period. It evaluates previous policies and adjusts follow-up policies. The fifth stage, starting from October 1, 2016, prohibits the import and sale of incandescent lamps of 15 watts or more, or adjustments based on the results of the mid-term evaluation.
In this regard, the relevant experts said that through the elimination of incandescent lamps, will effectively promote the development of efficient lighting industry, and achieved good energy-saving emission reduction effect, it is expected that the output value of the new lighting electrical appliance industry will be about 8 billion yuan, and about 15,000 new jobs will be formed. The annual electricity consumption will be 48 billion kWh, and the annual capacity of CO2 emissions will be reduced by 48 million tons.
High-efficiency lighting welcomes opportunities for development
The gradual exit of incandescent lamps will undoubtedly provide a broad space for the development of efficient lighting products. "The official announcement of the country's road map to phase out incandescent lamps is of great significance." Experts believe that the official announcement of the elimination of the incandescent lamp roadmap will form long-term benefits for the LED lighting industry and the energy-saving lamp industry, and will only replace the market scale formed by the existing incandescent lamps. It reached several hundred billion yuan.
In this regard, many companies dedicated to energy-saving lamps and LED lighting are quite the same. Guangdong Snow Wright (8
.50, 0.03, 0.35%) Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. lighting department responsible person recently said in an interview with reporters that the country phase out the publication of incandescent light roadmap, further clarified the development direction of the lighting industry, for The lighting industry as well as the production companies that have been dedicated to efficient lighting products are excellent opportunities for development and policies. The market for efficient lighting products in the future will be very broad. The person in charge told the reporter that Snowlight has always provided users with energy-saving lighting products as a corporate responsibility. In addition to adhering to the main energy-saving lamps and other conventional lighting products, the company continues to conduct research and development and technological innovation in LED lighting products and other extended areas. Next, Snow Wright will actively cooperate with the national plan to phase out incandescent lamps and vigorously promote the promotion and popularization of high-efficiency lighting products.
Like Snowlight, Osram has also achieved impressive results in high-efficiency lighting products. OSRAM, which does not have an incandescent lamp business, has faced the issue of eliminating incandescent lamps, and is fully aware that the company's rare development opportunities have already come. OSRAM relevant person in charge told reporters that OSRAM is doing a good job in efficient lighting products, but also has been vigorously promoting the brand building and network construction. At present, OSRAM’s network construction has covered all provinces in the country, and in particular, it has basically achieved full coverage in some developed regions.
Subsidies promoted into catalysts
In fact, China’s phase-out of incandescent light roadmaps is inextricably linked to the country’s promotion of related policies in recent years, such as “Ten Cities and Ten Thousand Cities,†and national subsidies for the promotion of efficient lighting products. These policies are undoubtedly providing for the elimination of incandescent lamps. Important foundations and guarantees were made, among which national subsidies for the promotion of efficient lighting products were even more important.
When it comes to the promotion of efficient lighting products, the relevant person in charge of Snowlight said that in the past four years, the promotion of national efficient lighting products has played a significant role in the promotion of national energy-saving emission reduction and the development of the lighting industry, which has effectively stimulated technological innovation in enterprises. It also set off a reshuffle of the industry, eliminated companies that lacked competitiveness and did not meet the requirements of the market, and enabled the high-efficiency lighting industry to emerge from the plight of industries with uneven technologies and energy savings. According to reports, at present, sales of efficient lighting products by Snow Wright's financial subsidies have accounted for about one-fifth of its total sales volume. In the past four years, Snow Wright has completed the promotion of more than 20 million energy-saving lamps, which has exceeded its annual tasks. aims.
The person in charge of OSRAM also stated that the promotion of relevant national policies has strongly promoted the development of lighting industry and enterprises. Next, regardless of the country's changes in the efficiency of lighting products, companies will spare no effort to increase efforts to promote the popularization of efficient lighting products. According to reports, OSRAM has completed the promotion of more than 10 million energy-saving lamps.
It is understood that in recent years, under the support of relevant state policies, some large-scale incandescent lamp manufacturers have started to switch to high-efficiency lighting products. In 2010, the total output of China's energy-saving lamps was 4.26 billion, which exceeded the total output of 3.85 billion incandescent lamps in China and accounted for about 80% of the world's total output. Among them, there are about 20 enterprises with an annual output of 50 million or more, accounting for 82% of the total output of the industry.
