According to GLII statistics, the average price of LED bulbs in the first quarter of 2013 decreased by 10.9%. It is expected that the price cut will continue in the second quarter, but the overall decline will not exceed 8%.

According to the latest survey report of the High-tech LED Industry Research Institute (GLII), the price of LED bulbs in China continued to decrease in the first quarter of 2013, and the decline was large. Compared with Q4 in 2012, the average price of LED bulbs fell by 10.9%.

● Data range: Select LED bulbs sold in mainland China.

● Model: Select the main model 3W, 5W, 7W, 9W bulb, the light source uses 2835, 5630, 3014, COB integrated package, 1W imitation lumen high power white light lamp beads;

● Time: October 2012 - March 2013

● Price: The price data involved is the average price of the company, and the price data does not include the special product data launched by the company.

● Product Description: The low end mainly refers to the light effect is less than 75lm/w, the warranty is about 1 year, the light source is mainly made in China; the middle end refers to the light effect at 75-90lm/w, the warranty is about 2-3 years, the light source is mainly used. Domestic and foreign-funded production enterprises in China; high-end refers to light efficiency above 90lm/w, quality assurance for more than 3 years, and mainly export-oriented, the light source mainly uses imported and foreign-made products in China.

Prices continue to fall in the first quarter

According to the latest research report of the High-tech LED Industry Research Institute (GLII), although the demand for lighting in the first quarter of 2013 showed a rapid growth trend, the price of bulbs continued to fall due to the oversupply in the LED lighting market.

According to statistics from GLII, the average price of LED bulbs in the first quarter of 2013 decreased by 10.9%, as shown in Figure 1:

Data Description: The above data are the average values ​​of low, medium and high-end LED bulbs of 3W, 5W, 7W and 9W.

Data show that since the third quarter of 2012, although the single-quarter price decline of China's LED bulbs has gradually slowed down, the price of China's LED bulbs in the first quarter of 2013 has dropped by as much as 10.9%, maintaining a rapid decline. The reasons for the continued decline in the price of LED bulbs are:

For a long time, the prices of light sources, power supplies, and heat-dissipating components used in LED bulbs have continued to decrease, which has reduced the material cost of LED bulbs to some extent.



The rapid growth of production-oriented enterprises, the rapid expansion of low-end workshop enterprises, and the falsification of products directly affect the price of LED bulbs.

According to the GLII research report, China's LED bulbs are not only homogenized, but also have parameters such as false parameters and fake parameters, which seriously affect the variability of product quality and price. This is also the reason for the rapid decline in the price of LED bulbs. One of the main factors.

The 3G, 5W, 7W LED bulbs purchased by GLII from the market were tested and disassembled and found that the so-called 3W LED bulbs were actually less than 2.3W, that is, each light source was only 0.75W, and the same 5W and 7W were in the middle. The low-end series all have virtual standards, and only some high-end series are more suitable. However, GLII believes that the parameter virtual standard will gradually be abandoned by the market with the continuous improvement of the standard system.

The GLII research report also pointed out that the price of LED bulbs continues to decline rapidly, which is directly related to the imbalance of product structure. As of March 2013, the 3W and 5W series of LED bulbs in China have an absolute advantage in terms of quantity, accounting for more than 53%. The price drop directly affects the price of the overall LED bulbs to a certain extent.

According to GLII statistics, in March 2013, 3W bulbs with a sales price of less than 5.3 yuan/only appeared, and the lowest selling price of 5W bulbs has exceeded 7.5 yuan/only. Low-W number LED bulbs Prices continue to fall, which has a certain boost to the overall price decline of LED bulbs.

Mid-to-high end product prices stop falling

GLII statistics show that, like other LED lighting fixtures, the price of LED bulb low-end series products has dropped rapidly, which is still the main factor driving the continuous decline of the price of LED bulbs. However, the price of high-end LED bulbs After the rapid decline in the first half of 2011 and 2012, the price decline has weakened, showing a tendency to stop falling. As shown in Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4:

In the first quarter of 2013, the price of China's LED bulb 3-9W low-end series products still maintained a decline of more than 12%; the price decline of mid-end series products has been reduced to 10.4%; the price decline of high-end series products is even lower than 10 %. The price of medium and high-end LED bulbs has gradually stopped falling, which has restricted the continuous decline of the price of LED bulbs.

The decline in the second quarter will still be larger

The High-Tech LED Industry Research Institute (GLII) expects that the price reduction of China's LED bulbs will continue in the second quarter of 2013, but the overall price cuts will not exceed 8%.

GLII believes that with the rapid growth of LED bulb market demand and the continued decline in the price of LED lighting sources, LED bulb prices will continue to fall, but the downside is limited.

The latest survey report of GLII pointed out that in the first quarter of 2013, the price drop of China's white LED chips slowed down and the demand for white LED chip market was tight, which restricted the continuous decline of LED lighting source prices, which was conducive to the stable price of LED bulbs.






Affected by the stable decline in the price of LED lighting sources and lighting fixtures, the price decline of China's LED bulbs will continue to decrease quarter by quarter.
