EU countries "changing light bulbs" Shaoxing energy-saving lamp enterprises welcome business opportunities

Energy-saving lamps eliminated old incandescent lamps

For many energy-saving lamp production enterprises in Shaoxing, an agreement reached at the European Union's spring summit is worthy of attention because it means that Shaoxing’s energy-saving lamp exports to the EU market will usher in new business opportunities.

The agreement sent out information: In the next two years, European countries will gradually replace old incandescent bulbs with high energy consumption with energy-saving fluorescent lamps, and phase out incandescent lamps in individual homes before 2009 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For Shaoxing, which has a large number of energy-saving lamp export companies, this is undoubtedly a good news.

Shaoxing Inspection and Quarantine Department: This is an opportunity and a challenge for Shaoxing enterprises

It is understood that Shaoxing is a major export-producing area for energy-saving lamps in China. At present, there are more than 20 energy-saving lamp export companies in the city, and several of them are leading companies. They have strong international competitiveness both in technological innovation and in independent brands. Statistics show that in 2006, the city exported about 230 million energy-saving lamps, of which about one-third were exported to the European Union. And still maintain a rapid growth in the first quarter of this year.

The removal of incandescent bulbs from the EU to energy-saving lamps means that the demand for energy-saving lamps in the EU market will further expand, and it will also mean that Shaoxing's energy-saving lamp production companies will face new opportunities.

The inspection and quarantine department in Shaoxing pointed out that although this is an opportunity for Shaoxing energy-saving lamp export companies, it will also face new challenges. On the one hand, the threshold for energy-saving lamps entering the EU market will be high, and the EU will be able to set a higher threshold for the entry of energy-saving lamps into the EU market according to new conditions. Enterprises must be fully prepared. On the other hand, the market competition will become more intense. After the increase in demand, the market competition between Chinese and foreign energy-saving lamp companies will further intensify.

"Exporting companies should seize the opportunity, work hard, and fully prepare for the expansion of the international market." Insiders pointed out that companies should increase technological innovation, pay attention to product design and development investment, and constantly improve their own product quality, and establish a scientific The quality management system ensures that the products produced meet the EU's requirements for hygiene and environmental protection.

In addition, in order to gain an advantage in the competition, related export companies should continue to adjust and optimize the product structure in accordance with market demand, understand the customs and aesthetic habits of EU countries, and make efforts to make energy-saving lighting products suitable for Western consumers.
