On November 30, a total of 14 ministries and commissions in China, including the National Development and Reform Commission, jointly released the "Thirteenth Five-Year Development Plan for the Semiconductor Lighting Industry" (hereinafter referred to as "the Plan"). This plan sets a target for 2020: China's semiconductor lighting core technologies should see continuous breakthroughs, with the industry's total output value reaching trillions of yuan. It aims to foster at least one LED lighting company with annual sales exceeding 10 billion yuan and one or two globally recognized brands.
Experts in the industry believe that the issuance of this plan will address numerous challenges currently faced by China’s LED industry while creating an ideal industrial environment. One notable aspect is its encouragement of corporate mergers and acquisitions, which will significantly drive the growth of both the industry and individual enterprises.
The focus is shifting from size to strength. During the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, China became a major player in the semiconductor lighting sector. Now, under the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan, the emphasis is on transitioning from being large to becoming strong. By 2020, the semiconductor lighting industry's overall output value is expected to reach a trillion-yuan scale.
According to the Plan, by 2020, China’s semiconductor lighting core technologies should continue advancing, product quality improving, and industrial concentration increasing. It aims to nurture at least one LED lighting company with sales over 10 billion yuan, develop one or two internationally renowned brands, and approximately ten domestically recognized brands. Additionally, it plans to promote the use of OLED lighting products to a significant extent, laying a solid foundation for China to evolve from a major semiconductor lighting country to a global leader.
A particular focus lies on key technologies. Although China’s LED industry ranks first in the world, it suffers from the issue of being large yet lacking strength, coupled with the absence of prominent brands. Moreover, there are evident gaps in foundational areas like materials. In response, the Plan aims to facilitate breakthroughs and technological catch-up in key and fundamental aspects of China’s LED lighting industry.
Specifically, the "Plan" suggests researching semiconductor lighting materials and devices featuring novel concepts, structures, and functions. It also promotes the development of semiconductor lighting products and integrated systems for smart lighting, health care, and agricultural applications, along with demonstrating their potential.
The "Plan" specifically targets key technologies such as materials and OLEDs. It encourages the industrialization of silicon substrate LED key technologies, the development of high-efficiency OLED lighting luminescent materials, and research into new OLED devices and lighting products. In the realm of LED lighting, there are three primary technical routes—sapphire substrate, silicon carbide substrate, and silicon substrate. Of these, the silicon substrate LED represents a route with complete intellectual property rights in China. Its products boast superior light quality and cost-effectiveness.
In the opinion of Liu Wei, President of Huacan Optoelectronics, concentrating on key foundational technologies and enhancing industry standards, brand value, and intellectual property protection will effectively resolve issues caused by rapid industry expansion. This approach will boost the industry's innovative capabilities and global competitiveness.
The Plan also advocates for industrial upgrades, encouraging LED lighting companies to merge and consolidate, thereby growing larger and stronger. It seeks to cultivate leading enterprises with international competitiveness and promote regional industrial clusters and differentiated development.
"The introduction of this Plan is highly opportune," stated Liu Wei. "Huacan Optoelectronics will seize this unique opportunity to strengthen international collaboration and research and development efforts, aiming to become a leading enterprise in the international LED chip market."
From a global perspective, major semiconductor lighting companies have been undergoing mergers and acquisitions, with industrial concentration rising and the industry structure shifting eastward.
Additionally, the Plan encourages businesses to develop and promote intelligent lighting products tailored to various application scenarios.
