The Concentration Of The Light Guide Plate Industry Continues To Increase, And Large-scale Development Has Become A Trend

  The light guide plate is made of optical grade acrylic (PMMA) or polycarbonate (PC) as the base material, and uses a high refractive index and non-light-absorbing material to engrave and print light guide points on the base material to make a structure that can emit light uniformly. The light guide plate has the advantages of high light conversion efficiency, uniform light guide, high brightness, ultra-thin, low energy consumption, excellent workability, simple process, convenient use and maintenance, and long life. It is an important part of the LED industry chain. With the vigorous development of the global LED industry, the size of the light guide plate market continues to grow.

  According to the "Market Development Status and Production and Sales Data Analysis Report of China's Light Guide Plate Industry in 2020-2024" released by the New Sijie Industry Research Center, the upstream of the light guide plate industry chain is mainly optical grade acrylic, optical grade polycarbonate and other material suppliers. The downstream are mainly mobile phone backlighting, liquid crystal display, LED lighting, advertising light boxes and other industries. The manufacturing process of the light guide plate mainly includes photolithography, laser engraving, injection molding, sandblasting, doping, nano-processing and so on. Among them, nano-processing uses single crystal diamond as a processing tool, which has high processing accuracy, high product surface smoothness, precision and other properties, and can be applied in the high-end market.

my country is the world’s largest mobile phone producer and the world’s largest manufacturer of liquid crystal display panels. In addition to the continuous increase in the penetration rate of LED lighting in my country, the demand for light guide plates in the Chinese market has grown rapidly, which has promoted the continuous expansion of the light guide plate industry in my country. The number keeps increasing. At this stage, my country's large-scale, advanced technology and high brand awareness light guide plate manufacturers mainly include AAC Optoelectronics, Taixing Tomson, Fengsheng Optoelectronics, Xinju Optoelectronics, Ruiyi Optoelectronics, Jiahong Optoelectronics, Fangsheng Optoelectronics, etc. .

  There are a large number of light guide plate manufacturers in my country, but most of them are small in scale, low in technology, and insufficient in innovation capabilities. They mainly produce low-end products. With the increasingly fierce market competition, the profit margin of the light guide plate industry has begun to decline, the transformation and upgrading of stronger enterprises, the speed of mergers and acquisitions and reorganization have accelerated, the insufficient enterprises have gradually withdrawn from the market, the industry concentration has continued to increase, the scale of excellent enterprises has continued to expand, and the overall structure of the industry It has been optimized to some extent, but the market structure is still relatively fragmented.

Since 2018, the international political and economic situation has been volatile, Sino-US trade frictions have intensified, and the cost of superimposed raw materials has continued to rise. The development pressure of my country's light guide plate industry has further increased. The more powerful companies in the light guide plate industry are paying more and more attention to the supply of raw materials, process technology, innovation capabilities, brand building, customer development and maintenance, the market share continues to increase, and the weaker companies have low product competitiveness and anti-risk capabilities. , And continue to withdraw from the market. In the future, the large-scale development of my country's light guide plate industry will become a trend.

  Industry analysts in Xinsijie said that light guide plates are important structural parts required for the production of LED products and can be widely used in the electronics and lighting industries. Among them, the electronic industry has high performance requirements for light guide plates, and the lighting industry has relatively low requirements. With the continuous advancement of technology in the LED lighting industry, the market demand for light guide plates presents a trend of mid-to-high-end development, which is good for the light guide plate industry to upgrade to the field of high-tech and high value-added products and increase profit margins.
