Analysis on Import and export of Lighting Industry in 2014 Second Quarter

   More than half of 2014 has already passed. Our electrical lighting industry maintained a steady growth momentum. Viewing from the Import and export data in the first half of this year, the industry exports reached to 17.9 billion yuan, increased 14.06%, comparing with 15.7 billion yuan in the first half of 2013; relative to the first quarter,the second quarter making a rise of 22.09%. Imports amounted to approximately 1.28 billion yuan in the first half, declined by 3.17% comparing with 1.33 billion yuan in the first half of 2013.

Electric Light Source Products

   During the first half of 2014, the total export volume of electric light products is 5.021 billion, with exports of 3.064 billion yuan. Compared with 2013, this two data respectively fall 3.7% and 6.33%. The export data of several types of main electric light source products in the first half 2014 are as follows:

Lighting Products

   During the first half of 2014, the total exports of lighting products is 12.646 billion yuan (In customs statistics, the unit of measurement of lighting products are not uniform, some are by weight, some by quantity or sets, therefore can not calculate the amount of export), a rise of the 27.49% comparing with the first half-year of 2013. The growth larger ones is still 94051000 Chandeliers and electric lighting devices on the ceiling or wall, 94052000 electric lamps, bedside lamps or floor lamps, 94054090 unlisted lamps and lighting devices. The exports of some major lighting products in the first half 2014 are as follows:

   Our lighting products are already exported to over 200 countries and regions of the world, therefore the import and export data is an important basis for analyze the developments of China’s lighting equipment. Viewing from the imports and exports in the first half of 2014, China's lighting industry remains keep a stable development momentum. From the data analysis, (1) the exports of electric light source products is not as before. By the impact of the global phase-out of incandescent activities and the development of LED products, the export growth of incandescent, fluorescent lamps and other main electric light products has declined markedly. (2) the exports of lighting products growing rapidly. Currently, the exports of lighting products have accounted for about 70% of the industry's exports, the rapid development of LED lighting products since this year led the export growth momentum of lighting products and even this industry.
