Development Status of China’s LED Industry

China's LED industry started in the 1970s. After more than 30 years of development, China's LED industry has initially formed a relatively complete industrial chain, including the production of LED epitaxial chips, the preparation of LED chips, the packaging of LED chips, and the application of LED products. Driven by the "National Semiconductor Lighting Project", seven national semiconductor lighting engineering industrialization bases have been formed in Shanghai, Dalian, etc.

At present, China's semiconductor lighting industry is developing well, the scale of packaging enterprises continues to grow rapidly, and lighting applications have made great progress. In 2007, the output value of LED application products in China exceeded 30 billion yuan. It has become the world's largest producer and exporter of LED full-color display, solar LED, landscape lighting and other application products, and the emerging semiconductor lighting industry is taking shape. China has formed certain characteristics in the field of lighting, among which outdoor lighting has the fastest development. There are hundreds of LED street lamp enterprises and dozens of demonstration roads have been built. The concentrated display of LED lighting in the Beijing Olympic Games and the Winter Olympic Games has given people a new understanding of LED, which has strongly promoted the development of China's semiconductor lighting industry. At present, China's semiconductor industry is large but not strong, and its core competitiveness still needs to be further improved.
