Lighting lighting focuses on improving product added value

In the production and manufacture of products, the raw materials involved in lighting and lighting products include steel, copper, aluminum, glass, plastics, and coatings. Against the backdrop of the growing shortage of international energy resources, the rise in raw materials has undoubtedly added yet another weight to the increasingly fiercely competitive lighting and lighting companies. In response, many lamp companies are increasingly aware that raw materials are in a state of “swelling”. Enterprises should open up ideas, tap potential and reduce consumption, and on the other hand, they must also increase technology research and development and product upgrades. It is a way to expand production capacity and increase labor productivity.

Rising raw materials a piece of Beijing time on February 27, 2010, Chile's second largest city Concepción 8.8 magnitude earthquake occurred. As the world’s largest producer of copper, the earthquake caused the rising international copper price to soar again, triggering a panic in the raw material market.

In March, according to statistics of relevant international organizations, world energy prices rose by 53.1% year-on-year, metal and minerals prices rose by 60.6%, copper rose by 99%, and aluminum rose by 65.1%. There has been a similar increase in the domestic market. According to the “Change in ex-factory prices of major industrial products of some key enterprises” published on the National Statistics Bureau’s website on April 10, the iron ore lump ore price for iron ore ≥ 56% was 618.2 yuan per ton. It rose by 11.4% on the 20th of the month; the price of copper with copper ≥ 99.95% was 5,2576.4 yuan per ton, up by 3.3% from March 20; the price of ordinary aluminum ingot was 1,3171.4 yuan per ton, a slight drop of 0.2% compared with March 20th.

Light source companies raise prices by 45%. Balanced cost pressures Whether it is steel, aluminum, copper or aluminum, whether it is glass or plastic packaging materials, the price of raw materials continues to rise, and the impact of lighting products is dominated by stereotyped products. "The cost pressure brought by materials, such as lighting can be balanced as long as the sales increase by 20%, then the lighting will have 45%." Jinhan lighting market manager Yan Shiqin this comparison. According to industry sources, the current standard for 6500K three-color phosphor is currently quoted at 290 yuan, while last year this powder factory sales price was 250 yuan. This year, many companies have integrated and optimized raw material purchasing channels.

Lighting company profits, no substantial impact of rising prices just from the East China, South China and other market research, said the person in charge of HS Planning Studio, Zhongshan City, said: "Lighting for personalized products, the profit margin is relatively large. If the brand enterprises in the increase in production With great efforts, raw material prices have not caused any substantial impact on them."

From the design perspective, home lighting products are mainly composed of acrylic masks, aluminum frame, hardware chassis and ballasts, etc. Recently, the prices of aluminum materials, hardware and cartons have risen by about 30%, and acrylic products have risen by about 15%. At present, the competition between the first and second-tier brands of home lighting has fully entered the phase of confrontation, and it depends on who has deeper internal strength. The fact that raw material prices have risen has remained the same. Only expanding production capacity and increasing sales volume, focusing on research and development is the only way for lighting and lighting companies to resist.

The decline in raw materials is unlikely. The economy after the crisis has gradually recovered, and a series of objective factors, such as the construction of electric light source bases everywhere, can bring about material shortages, and prices do not fall back. The deadline for public comments and suggestions from the National Development and Reform Commission on the “Special Provisions on Penalties for Price Illegal Behaviors during Abnormal Market Price Fluctuations” is August 13, 2010. It can be seen that the expectations of the relevant national departments for inflation will continue until the end of this year, and the increase in raw materials is their biggest driver.

The light pressure of the dual lighting companies from the market point of view, the country's current real estate regulation, the real estate market will definitely affect the cold lighting lighting market, from the perspective of supply and demand structure, the market's leverage adjustment will appear, the price must be from the high point Drop to a certain low point. At the same time, when the decoration season is over, the market will surely have a certain degree of weakness; on the other hand, the rise of raw materials will not disappear in the short term, and lighting and lighting companies will face double pressure.
