600 yuan/kg at the beginning of the year, 650 yuan/kg in April, and 2,500 yuan/kg in September! This is the price of domestic rare earth market this year.
Faced with the rising prices of rare earths, the city's energy-saving lamp companies are "very tangled," and some are even unable to stand still, on the verge of stop production and semi-stop production.
"The energy-saving lamp business has been done for so many years. We haven't encountered a situation like this year, and prices have risen unbelievably." On September 8, the company mentioned the recent high prices of rare earths, Taizhou Shenghua Lighting Appliance Co., Ltd. Manager Zhang Hui feels helpless.
Rare-earth elements are known as "industrial monosodium glutamate" and are widely used in new materials, energy conservation and environmental protection. Last year, the state strengthened its management and control. In May this year, it issued a "Several Opinions on Promoting the Sustainable and Healthy Development of the Rare Earth Industry." It called for a substantial increase in the collection standards for rare earth resource taxes and the gradual integration of rare earth values ​​and prices. Subsequently, the domestic rare earth price accelerated. As fluorescent powder in energy-saving lamps, the proportion of rare earths accounts for more than 75%, and the price naturally rises.
Zhang Hui said that before the price of rare earth has been relatively stable, also about 600 yuan per kilogram, generally "a two-year rise." Now, as soon as it rises, it will rise to 2,500 yuan, which will make some companies that produce energy-saving lamps “aborablyâ€. The scale of the company’s original six production lines has now to be reduced to three.
Zhang Hui told reporters that the situation of his colleagues around him is similar. In the face of pressure, most companies choose to reduce production, and some small companies simply stop production because of a loss in production. The reason why his company can support it now is due to a batch of rare earth scheduled for the beginning of the year. If these rare earths are used up, he does not know what to do next.
It is understood that the production of a 30W energy-saving lamp rough tube, about 1 gram of rare earth used, the cost of less than 0.4 yuan at the beginning of the year, but now it is as high as 2.6 yuan. In other words, the current energy-saving lamps must be increased by at least 2.2 yuan each to save costs.
"The emergence of this phenomenon is related to the overcapacity of energy-saving lamps and the non-standard industry. If you raise prices, the other party will probably go to other sellers." Yu Xiande, general manager of Taizhou Shine Lighting Co., Ltd. said that energy-saving lamp manufacturing is labor. In intensive industries, it is difficult to increase prices. When sellers and buyers talk about business, most of them use low-price strategies. As long as they are profitable, most of them will take orders.
The relevant persons of the City Commission of Economics and Information Technology suggested that current related companies may wish to pay more attention to new energy-saving products such as LED lamps that are more environmentally friendly and have more market prospects. Although rare earths are also used, their usage is much less than that of energy-saving lamps. A few micrograms is enough. . In addition, in the long run, the more efficient use of rare earths is the future direction of energy-saving lamp industry in our city.
