This year's state-subsidized energy-saving lamps are in hot sales. Some attentive citizens have discovered that the price of energy-saving lamps has risen this year. It is reported that since the beginning of this year, as one of the most important raw materials for the production of energy-saving lamps, the prices of tricolor phosphors have risen from 300,000 yuan per ton to 700,000 yuan now in just a few months. Affected by rising costs, some large brand energy-saving lamp products have started to raise prices. However, people in the industry believe that in the past few years, the promotion effect of energy-saving lamps in Wuxi has always led the province, even if the price increase will not affect its promotion in the city.
This year financial subsidies for energy-saving lamps have risen
On October 11, several netizens posted on the local forum that the price of energy-saving lamps subsidized by the state's finances has risen this year. Not only is the unit price more expensive than in previous years, but the number of purchases has also been reduced from 20 to 10.
It is understood that last year the city to promote the sale of financial subsidies for energy-saving lamps each the cheapest 3.95 yuan, the most expensive 19.5 yuan. This year, the cheapest is 4.2 yuan and the most expensive is 25 yuan. The responsible person of the Municipal Financial Subsidy High-efficiency Lighting Product Promotion Office explained that this is mainly because the energy-saving lamp power of this year is not the same as last year. “The cheapest lamp power last year was 5 watts, and this year it is 7 watts because the actual sales situation , more than 7 watts of power is more popular." However, the person in charge said frankly that since the beginning of this year, the prices of three-color phosphors, which are one of the main raw materials for energy-saving lamps, have actually increased, but the price of the financial subsidies for energy-saving lamps introduced this time has not risen significantly, especially. Resident users enjoy even less incentive to enjoy half-price financial subsidies.
However, according to sources, OSRAM, a well-known lighting manufacturer in Europe, has once again increased its price. Since the beginning of the year, OSRAM has increased its price of energy-saving lamps by 25%. Philips, the Dutch lighting manufacturer, has also announced that it will increase prices from October 1. The reporter found that in the list of financial subsidies for energy-saving lamps allocated to Wuxi this year, previously listed OSRAM was absent, and Philips only introduced one model. It is difficult to say whether the energy-saving lamps sold in Tin will be able to maintain current prices next year.
Raw material prices have been doubled within a year
The price increase of energy-saving lamps is mainly due to the increase in the prices of phosphors, which are the main raw materials, which have already turned several times in just a few months. According to Xicheng lighting industry sources, phosphors account for more than 10% of the cost of energy-saving lamps, so phosphor prices have also brought a lot of impact on the energy-saving lamp market. "The price of phosphor was too high. We stopped production six months ago. The more we lose, the more we lose!" On October 11, the reporter called Yixing, an energy-saving lamp manufacturing company. A person in charge of the company told the reporter that this year At the beginning of the year, the price of phosphors was only 300,000 yuan per ton, but prices started to rise from February to March and reached a record high of 900,000 yuan per ton in July and August. Although it has declined somewhat earlier this month, the current price is still at a high of around 700,000 yuan. Due to the volatility of the market, the company has not resumed production so far.
According to industry insiders, the raw material of phosphors is rare earth resources. The main reason for this surge is the country’s increasingly tight restrictions on rare earth resources. On May 19 of this year, the “State Council’s Several Opinions on Promoting the Sustainable and Healthy Development of the Rare Earth Industry†proposed that in the future, the rare earth industry be attacked and the situation of uncontrolled mining and malicious competition will be curbed. In addition to the national adjustment of the rare earth industry, the industry broke the news, domestic companies hoarding phosphor speculation is also a major reason for high raw material prices.
Will price increase hinder promotion?
"Energy-saving lamp purchase price is indeed a slight increase, but the margin is not big. I'm still selling at an old price, 2U is still 10 yuan." Mr. Xie, who works in the energy-saving lighting business, told reporters that since the second half of this year, he has repeatedly Received the price increase notice from energy-saving lamp manufacturers, especially the larger adjustment of power. "As a terminal retailer directly facing consumers, the price of our products will generally not be easily adjusted, otherwise it will be very easy for some regular customers to run away."
However, Mr. Xie said that if manufacturers continue to increase prices, energy-saving lamp prices is an inevitable trend. However, Mr. Qiu, who has done sales of lamps and lanterns on the Xihu Road, told reporters that “10 yuan has risen by 1 yuan, almost 10% or so.â€
From an environmental point of view, although energy-saving lamps are currently the best choice for replacing high-energy lighting products such as incandescent lamps and halogen lamps, their prices are several times more expensive than ordinary lamps. Affected by the increase in raw materials, if the end product prices increase in the future, will it affect its promotion in tin? The responsible person of the Municipal Financial Subsidy Office for Promotion of High-efficiency Lighting Products believes that the current price of energy-saving lamp terminals is relatively stable, and that the concept of environmental protection and energy conservation is now firmly rooted in people’s minds. From the perspective of subsidizing energy-saving lamps in Wuxi’s annual buying situation, it should be Will not affect its promotion in Wuxi. “Wuxi is the fourth year this year to promote the national financial subsidy energy-saving lamps. Each year it is over-subject to the province's release targets, and from other cities in the province to compete for increase targets to meet the strong needs of the people. In the past three years, the city has accumulated sales promotion. 1.1 million sets of energy-saving lamps can save 860 million kilowatt hours of electricity, which is equivalent to saving the public and businesses from electricity bills of about 400 million yuan,†said the responsible person.
