At present, electrical lighting manufacturing industry is facing increased costs, RMB appreciation, export tax rebates and other unfavorable factors, business environment change. But generally speaking, due to benefit from the country’s energy policy, the first half of 2008, the industry is still full of orders, product development focused on positive energy efficient direction.

First half of 2008, China’s Lighting Industry scale enterprises in total industrial output value of 52.104 billion yuan, up 24.23 percent; main business income of 49.297 billion yuan, up 28.28%.

Exports as the leading energy-saving products

1 June 2008, China lighting electric industry’s total exports reached 4.256 billion U.S. dollars, up 26.92%, accounting for 4.09% of exports of light industrial products. Among them, the electric light source products exported 1.218 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for lighting electrical products 28.62% of total exports, up 33.15 percent.

From the product point of view, the main exports to energy-saving products. This is mainly because some EU countries that would phase out the old incandescent bulbs, plans to phase in energy-saving light bulbs by 2015 alternative energy-intensive incandescent bulbs. Rapid growth in exports are energy-efficient lighting product. Metal halide lamps up 60%; fluorescent and discharge lamps up 42.2%; electronic rectifier up 34.32 percent.

In recent years the EU has implemented RoHS, WEEE, EuP and other instructions, the formation of barriers on the export business. More and more Chinese enterprises to do anything positive from the initial response, active prevention, to mature in actual combat. For example, LED semiconductor lighting industry in the national R & D and industry alliance, under the lead of a sudden the United States “337 investigation” to respond quickly and greatly reduce the enterprises in the export of the risks.

Import growth over export growth

Import growth over export growth is another feature of the industry. 1 June 2008, China’s imports of electrical products lighting although only 792 million U.S. dollars, but the growth of 49.17 percent over the same period last year, far more than the increase in exports. Among them, the electric light source products imported 670 million U.S. dollars, accounting for lighting electrical products 84.60 percent of total imports, up by 52.56%. Higher import growth of products are: cumulative increase of 122.06% of electronic rectifiers, electronic lighting parts are up 66.98 percent, fluorescent and discharge lamps are up 63.68 percent.

Multiple factors have led to pressure

Although our overall business is good lighting electrical industry, but some companies still face great difficulties. Raw material prices, labor costs, real estate, building materials downstream industries were affected by the macro-control, leading to further deterioration of operating environment. Enterprises have expanded production capacity, order full, but it does not explain the future of business without risk.

High energy consumption of incandescent lamps, HID lamps the overall decline in exports, which is undoubtedly the national legislation with European and other products out of incandescent light is directly related to high energy consumption. Although the product output is growing, but the amount of corporate profits has been decreasing. By the appreciation of Renminbi, the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis and other factors, foreign Lighting severe market decline, a large number of products sold domestically, the future will be even more intense market competition.

According to the author of the survey of China’s major loader enterprises, in the first half, China Sell Loader over 70000 units last year although still higher compared to lower margin, but the first half of each month from the comparison can be seen that this lower rate is being gradually reduced, in June last year only to reduce the more than 10 percentage points. This trend will continue in the second half is expected to continue.

1, 2009, in the first half and second half of our forecast loader market characteristics
The severe impact of the financial crisis, the first half of this year, mainly showing a loader market characteristics of the development the following aspects:

1, loader domestic market rebound quickly, the international demand is still sluggish.
2009 6 Chinese manufacturing PMI, the fourth consecutive month to maintain the critical point above the internationally accepted as a response to macro-economic trends of the first index of the positive changes, shows that our economy continues to rise in the state of the economy. China’s domestic economic situation improves, speed up the loader of the domestic market rebound.

Domestic sales in June this year, outstanding performance, only 3% lower than the same period last year, with March sales was reduced by half, in sharp contrast. Domestic sales loader market compared to last year, there have been months of decline in lower margin.

And positive changes in the domestic market performance difference is reduced from the export market loader constantly widening. First half of 2009, exports loader over 4000 units less than the same period last year, one half of exports, exports of more than 800 units in June, and last year’s lower rate is also 60%.

International market, there have been some positive changes. Economy Cooperation And Development (OECD) released data show that most major global economies out of recession soon, its developed members?? From the euro zone and Britain to the United States, Mexico and Japan?? Overall indicators are now showing recovery. Improvement of the world economy in order to fundamentally solve the export market of China loader market sales to reduce.

2, the financial crisis, regional sales pattern of new market emerged. The past, demand for our loader

most northern region affected by the crisis has been relatively lower market demand more, in 2009 the first half of the first half of 2008 compared to let out more than 5% of the market share, the impact of the crisis obvious. However, the region of Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Hebei province is China’s coal, coal mining on the loader to stimulate demand can not be ignored, and the increase of investment in infrastructure will also promote the region’s demand for the recovery of the loader. Change in sales in recent months, also shows the strength of the region demand to reproduce the pre-crisis situation loader.

Eastern and central region, and the demand loader, in various regions show prominent, recently this situation will continue.

Southwest and northwest regions, although sales volume is not high, but the two regions are all regions in the first half of last year reduced the minimum area, market share also increased. This positive change, and they are in our country landlocked, has not been a serious impact on the financial crisis had a relationship. The first half of this year, investment has also increased rapidly in the western region, urban fixed asset investment growth for 5 consecutive months in more than 45%. But the western region of “small prosperity” can be maintained, it remains to be seen.

Provinces in Northeast China as less sales loader market as a whole is not very high, change a little.

3, loader to further increase market concentration.
From the loader market in recent years, sales data can be seen, loader market concentration is relatively high, sales in the first nine companies ( Liugong , Long Engineering, Xiamen workers, temporary workers, SEM, into the work of God steel Fukuda Revo , Changlin, Xugong) significantly more than sales of other companies; which Liugong, dragon workers, building workers, temporary workers, these four companies account for a steadily loader sales in China before the tetracarboxylic, and Liugong and Long work is loader enterprises in China, ranked the top two companies stabilize sales. In 2009, the situation becomes more apparent.

According to the author of the loader sales data, Liugong, dragon workers, building workers, temporary workers, the four companies increase market share. 2006, 2007, 2008 for three years, this four companies market share of 60%, while in 2009 the first half of this ratio to 64.69 percent raise, and the top two Liugong, Dragon workers share, also by 2006, 07, 08 and stable 35%, raise to 39.06%.

Half marathon races are gaining popularity in the racing world nowadays due to the fact that they involve a challenging distance for runners and yet do not require a very strenuous training level compared to full marathons. Running a half marathon means running a distance of 13.1 miles – a challenging task for beginners, advance, and competitive runners.

For beginners who have conquered several 5K or 10K races, running a half is considered to be their next step in their running career. Advanced runners also do this activity since it helps them build more endurance and keeps them strong during races. For competitive runners, half marathons serve as their preparation for the marathon races.

The level of training of a half marathon stays in between the 5K or 10K races and marathon. Marathon training requires 5 months of training, while a half marathon involves only 3 months of training. So, basically, running a half marathon is a good choice before running a marathon to help the body get more used to the demands of a full marathon.

Running a half though is not something to be taken for granted. Running it can still be demanding both physically and mentally. A runner should be serious enough in training for half’s if he wants to improve his running abilities.

The training for a half marathon is composed of four phases: endurance, strength, speed, and tapering. Each phase includes a training program or schedule that needs to be met by athletes before proceeding to the next phase. These four phases have a pre-training week to assess the runner’s level of fitness and help he/she decide if he/she is fit to start the training program or do a little more of the pre-training until he/she comfortable and confident enough to engage the program properly. A runner must “incorporate” the training program into his/her daily routine. Flexibility and adaptability to the training program is needed. What is important in running a half is to train in a gradual manner. Hastiness is discouraged since it can lead to a serious problem or injury.

Half marathon trainings are also categorized into three levels: beginner, advanced, and competitive. Beginner program includes rest periods throughout the duration of the program. Advanced program may have days off, but it has many weeks without rest periods. The competitive program does not include any rest periods or off days.

Therefore will be very obvious benefits.

Second, changes in raw material costs from upstream, although the Oil Prices led to increased manufacturing cost of plastic products, while raising the cost of increased pressure on enterprises, the means, but for the entire plastics industry, which is the effective support price of plastic. And downstream industries to improve digestion has become the direct help of plastic industry. Beverages, Home Appliances , Furniture, agriculture, building materials, packaging, automotive, electronics and other fields of development, effectively digest a variety of plastic products, plastic industry, the most important and stable development assistance.

But the “report” also reminded to be alert to the plastics industry upstream investment is more violent, the formation of over-supply situation of raw materials, so in the chain between the needed coherence to make the industry a long-term steady development.

Moreover, according to statistics Yuyao spot market, the plastic index of the last two months has been high and volatile, while the index of the same plastic warehouse receipts in the trend of high and volatile, visible market more active.

Quality has always been to store Suning proud, in the first half to 0.02% of comparable store growth rate inferior to 0.49% in the comparable store Gome level of growth; always stores much better than any amount of lead that opponents Hao, Gome, in the first half operating income was 24.874 billion yuan, not only by the first quarter of 2008, Suning beyond, and the whole first half were old rivals behind them.

Comparison of GOME

First half of the Gome and Suning suffered earthquake, consumer prices, raw material prices, exchange losses and other adverse factors, the challenges, but they also received

Economic, macro-economic control, environmental protection and updating of business opportunities.

Contrast Gome, Suning Appliance removal of the revenue, gross margin and other four titles, but the rate of 4.25% of net profit to suffer, “won the market, loss of profits” embarrassment.

Gome will become a “high-profile development, low-key money” of the beneficiaries, 4.77% of the net profit margin to operating income of 1.05 billion yuan less Bi Suning Electric, but the net profit has more 86 million yuan Bi Suning Electric. Compared with Suning Appliance, Gome seems is the “last laugh” king.

Home Appliances

Criticized by the two giant chains, but the 24.952 billion yuan of sales revenue, 24.44% of the same growth rate of 104.67 percent growth in net profit over the same period, proved Gree strong words as Gome and Suning’s lung power is located.

Competition 2 stores rather

2008 Suning the first half of 102 new stores, and Gome evenly. However, the total number of stores is still lagging behind Gome. As we all know, the decision is not the number of home appliance chain store competition, the key to success, especially the quality of store rental ratio, flat effect, comparable three-year growth target is the key factor.

2007 comparable store Gome year rose only 3.11%, while the first quarter of 2008 it reached 3.17%, the first time, comparable store growth over the same period Suning Appliance’s “Beyond.” While the first half of 2008, comparable store Gome rose less than 1 percentage point again, I did not expect less of their opponents, so again, “luck” Beyond.

Strategy that is in large flagship store quantity, Suning, Gome is clearly inferior to 44 the number of gap between the flagship store, also make Gome “big shop mode” of lung power is no longer so abundant. In addition, the total number of Gome stores areas although more than 62.3% of Suning Appliance, but the 2.85 million square meters of total business area of less than Suning of 3.0819 million square meters; the total number of stores grew, the Suning Appliance 88.88 percent of the year growth rate is much higher than GOME Electrical Appliances; single shop area, the Suning, Gome more than 600 square meters (the former: 4,200 square meters / shop, which is 3,600 square meters / shop).

In addition, in the secondary market, secondary market, Gome stores 257 stores the number of its 36.4%; sales revenue accounted for 22.67%, representing an increase of 3.26% over the same period last year. Can be expected that both sides will be a market to the main battlefield of the secondary market. The next time the two sides will focus on the secondary market store expansion, comparable store business optimization and fierce competition. Three markets are very likely in the game both the “last battle”, while GOME, Suning’s performance in the three markets are not Yangzhou Exchange Bank, Jiangsu Five Star, Henan Yu family and other “small chain of” excellent.

Another concern is the two-store rental data contrast ratio.
