Global and China Automotive Lighting Industry Report, 2010-2011
Although the gloomy economy in 2011 makes people doubt about global economic recovery, the automotive market, especially the limousine market, presents buoyant development. In Jan.-Aug., 2011, the sales volume of Benz totaled 867,400 units worldwide, and the figures in Germany, America and China registered 165,500, 148,400 and 120,200, up 2.3%, 6.1% and 35.8%, respectively; and the global sales volume of BMW increased by 16.8% YoY to 1.0734 million units, and the figures in Germany, America and China reached 196,300, 155,900 and 158,900, rising 13.3%, 12% and 49.3% YoY, respectively.
The biggest change in automotive lighting industry is that LED boosts to penetrate the market. In 2010, LED suffered price slump in the wake of large capacity expansion. In brake-lamp and tail-lamp sectors, LED gets rapidly popular, with the targeted prevalence of 70% in 2015. Another change is that LED head-lamps are massively applied in HEV or EV, rather than limiting to flagship models.
Before 2010, auto models that employed LED head-lamp only contained Lexus LS600H, Audi A8/R8 and Cadilliac Escalade Platinum. Since 2010, LED head-lamp has embraced its blossom. For example, Nissan LEAF, developed by ICHIKOH, cuts its LED number to 2 ones, reducing half of power consumption and prolonging two-fold of service life while lowering the cost. Another case in point is Mitsubishi i-Miev, a type of EV similar to LEAF. Moreover, the latest LEXUS LS450H draws lesson from LS600H which fully employs LED.
In early 2011, BMW announced to equip LED headlights to its full range of new series 6 models. Audi followed suit, fully employing LED lights on EV A2 concept car as well as A3 e-tron concept PHEV. Additionally, Taiwan-based Yulon Motor’s neora, Benz’s level-A concept car scheduled to go public in 2012 plus CITEON’s HEV DS5 have joined and will join the league.
According to the EU rule, all newly produced cars are required to add DRL (day-time running light) from 2011. Presently, 5-10% automobiles with DRL are provided with LED, and the figure is expected to rise to 25%-35% or more in the upcoming five years.
However, only a few manufactures can provide HB LED, including Lunileds, OSRAM and Nichia. For most LED manufacturers, automotive market makes limited contribution to their performance, even for Lumileds, OSRAM and Nichia. After all, the LED consumption in automotive sector is far less than that in consumer electronics.
The sales volume of cars equipped with LED head-lamps is estimated to hit roughly 8% by 2015. The mainstream head-lamp is still halogen, while for executive cars, Xeon tritium lights have become mainstream, with the popularity rate exceeding 80%.
Japanese automotive lighting manufacturers occupy supremacy, but weak in growth. For instance, Stanley, which focuses on Japanese market, has seen decline; Koito is expected to see moderate growth given its rooting in Mainland China. In contrast, driven by vigorous limousine market, German automotive lighting businesses present aggressive development. In particular, Hella, AL (Automotive Lighting), ZKW are all suppliers of Audi, BMW and Benz, with AL taking up the highest proportion. As for Taiwan-based TYC and DEPO, they focus on the after-sale market of Europe and America, and show slowdown in growth.

China Mobile Communication Antenna Industry Report 2011
At the end of 2010, mobile phone users amounted to 859 million and 3G subscribers totaled 47.1 million in China. In July 2011, mobile phone users jumped to 930 million, including 87.2 million 3G subscribers.
The booming of mobile subscribers and communication data traffic promote telecom operators to continually optimize and expand their networks.
In 2011, China’s market capacity of outdoor base station antenna grew 26% YoY to approximately 1.78 million units; and that of indoor base station antenna approximated 16.2 million units, up 35% YoY. China outdoor base station antenna market witnesses cutting-throat competition and the product price slipped sharply as well. Domestic base station antenna manufacturers account for more than 85% of the market share in China.
In 2008, microwave communication system (MCS) was adopted in China’s communication transmission. In 3G network construction, Chinese telecom operators increased the procurement of MCS. In 2010, the market capacity of microwave antenna in China hit 190,000 units and rose to over 340,000 units in 2011. Four domestic manufacturers capable of producing high-performance microwave antenna are Xi’an Putian, Shenglu Telecommunication, Mobi Development and Guangdong Tongyu.
Benefiting from the development of such mobile terminals as smart phones, tablet PCs and laptops, the market capacity of mobile communication terminal antenna reached 1.08 billion in China in 2010. In the next three years, the average growth rate of the market capacity will be likely to maintain above 15%. Major local mobile terminal antenna providers include Shenzhen Sunway Communication, Shenzhen Speed, Shanghai Jesoncom and Kunshan Auden.
Shenglu Telecommunication (002446.SZ) is committed to producing all types of antenna products for base stations and terminals, as well as microwave antenna products with frequency range from 6GHz to 40GHz, and ranks as the most competitive manufacturer of mobile communication antenna of China. In H1 2011, affected by the factors like the slow investment progress of Chinese operators, the sales growth of Shenglu Telecommunication’s products slowed down. The revenue of base station antenna fell 4.4%, and that of Yagi Antenna dropped 17.4%, while the growth rate of the promising microwave antenna and indoor terminal antenna only touched 5.2% and 6.8% respectively.
More than 30% of revenue of Mobi Development (0947.HK) comes from ZTE. In H1 2011, Mobi Development achieved sales of RMB 124.5 million from antenna business, down 5.9%, of which the sales of multi-frequency/multi-system antenna business reached RMB 29.36 million, up 192.3% over the same period in 2010 which was mainly fueled by the substantial growth of overseas demand.
Xi'an Haitian Antenna (08227.HK) and Sunnada jointly established a new company in Aug. 2011 which engages in the R&D, manufacturing and sales of mobile communication antenna. In H1 2011, Haitian Antenna realized revenue of RMB 27.24 million, up 39% YoY and with loss decreasing to RMB 14.215 million.
Sunway Communication is the sole listed Chinese enterprise specializing in producing mobile terminal antenna. The company occupies about 1.3% of the global mobile terminal antenna market and around 20% of the domestic market. In H1 2011, the company’s revenue grew only 10.5% to RMB 72.52 million, while its consolidated gross margin rose to 59%, which could be attributed to the spin-off of its low-gross-margin products and customers.

Reportstack Report: Global and China Titanium Industry Report 2010-2011
As the largest producing country of titanium product worldwide, China’s output of titanium sponge reached 57,770 tons in 2010, accounting for 37.4% of the global total. Meanwhile, the output of titanium mill products achieved 38,323 tons in China, covering 34.3% of the world’s total. However, titanium product structure presents unbalance in China, with relatively low capacity proportion of aerospace titanium sponge. Furthermore, competitiveness of high-end titanium mill products such as aerospace titanium products still desires to be improved.
In terms of titanium sponge market, the United States, Europe and South Korea are the main export destinations of China-made titanium sponge. In recent years, titanium sponge output gradually declines in the United States, where titanium product manufacturers including TIMET are experiencing short supply of titanium sponge. As for the European market, titanium sponge entirely relies on import. Currently, VSMPO-AVISMA and ATI are the main producers of aerospace titanium sponge in the European and American markets. Chinese titanium sponge enterprises mainly focus on the production of industrial titanium sponge.
Zunyi Titanium Co., Ltd., the leading one among titanium sponge manufacturers, is still in its production recovery stage, after suffering drastic fall in 2009 and IPO failure. Its production, sales and price of titanium sponge improved markedly in H1 2011. Huashen Titanium realized titanium sponge capacity of 10,000 tons/year, after being invested by Baoji Titanium in 2010. Meanwhile, its product titanium sponge for aerospace and military use saw a rise in proportion, and it further enhanced its connection with titanium mill products production lines of Baoji Titanium.
Titanium mill products boast large capacities in China at present, whereas the production capacities of titanium thin-plate and titanium welded pipe are still far from sufficiency. As for production of high-end aerospace titanium products, Baoji Titanium is still the sole player in Chinese market.
Currently, Baoji Titanium enjoys around 40% market shares of titanium mill products in China, while it provides over 95% of the total military titanium demand in domestic China. In addition, Baoji Titanium is the only exporter of aerospace titanium products at home. Being restricted by limited capacity and weak technical R&D strength, other peers are less competitive in the market, such as Western Metal Materials, Western Superconducting Technologies, Beijing Zhongbei Titanium and Baosteel Special Steel, etc.

Reportstack Latest Report: China High-Voltage Switch Industry Report 2010-2011
With China’s accelerating construction of power grid in recent years, the china high voltage switch industry has realized buoyant development, especially in the field of 126KV-above high-voltage switch apparatuses, where the number of manufacturers has swelled from 5 to more than 40.
Among 126KV-above high-voltage switch apparatuses, 500KV, 750KV and 1,000KV have been the highlights in recent years. As of H1 2011, China had made breakthrough in key technologies such as 500KV single-break SF6 breaker equipment, super-power operation mechanism and 1,000KV disconnecting switch based on the technologies of 500KV and 750KV. Meanwhile, the switchgear equipment for three transformer substations of China’s first AC 1,000KV test demonstration project (Southeast Shanxi-Nanyang-Jingmen UHV line) developed by three switch heavyweights (China XD, New Northeast Electric (Shenyang) High Voltage Switchgear Co., Ltd., and Henan Pinggao Electric Co., Ltd.) have run smoothly for two years.
The report analyzes the development, demand & supply, technology of the high-voltage switch industry in China in recent years, and focuses on the following three market segments: circuit breaker (CB), gas insulated switchgear (GIS), disconnecting switch & earthing switch (DS&ES)
1. CB
With the popularity of oil-free switchgears in recent years, high-voltage CB products such as SF6 CB and vacuum circuit breaker (VCB) have won acclaims in the market. In particular, SF6 CB equipment is classified as the leading high-voltage and EHV and UHV product system in China, while VCB concentrates on the voltage of 40.5KV or below.
2.GIS
Alongside with increasingly mature GIS technology in China in the past decade, several GIS production bases have emerged in Xi’an, Shenyang and Pingdingshan, with representative enterprises including China XD, Henan Pinggao Electric Co., Ltd., and New Northeast Electric (Shenyang) High Voltage Switchgear Co., Ltd. In addition, international businesses like ABB, Siemens and Areva have thrust into the Chinese GIS market by merit of advanced technologies.
3. DS&ES
DS&ES is a kind of power transmission and transformation equipment that used more common, generally 2-3 times of high-voltage CB, in power supply system. Driven by the construction of UHV AC/DC power grid in recent years, DS&ES have been leapfrogging towards high voltage, EHV and even UHV, with representative enterprises including Hunan Changgao High Voltage Switchgear Group Co., Ltd., China XD, Henan Pinggao Electric Co., Ltd., and New Northeast Electric (Shenyang) High Voltage Switchgear Co., Ltd.
Additionally, the report also highlights 15 key enterprises including three foreign-owned ones such as ABB, Siemens and Areva as well as 12 domestic businesses like China XD, Henan Pinggao Electric Co., Ltd., and Hunan Changgao High Voltage Switchgear Group Co., Ltd.
China XD is a power transmission and transformation equipment flagship with the most powerful system integration strength in China, mainly engaged in the production of high-voltage switch, transformer, lightning rod, insulator, etc. It provided 1,000KVH-GIS, reactor, capacitive voltage transformer (CVT), lightning rod, ES and insulator for China’s megavolt-level demonstration project (Southeast Shanxi-Nanyang-Jingmen UHV line) and realized smooth on-grid operation. Moreover, it offered transformer, converter valve, capacitor and arrester for Yunnan-Guangzhou ±800KV UHV DC power transmission project.
Henan Pinggao Electric Co., Ltd. is the flagship enterprise in China’s UHV switch industry with solid R&D capabilities. In March 2011, it independently developed the world’s first 800KV intelligent CB and successfully put it into operation; in August 2011, its EHV and UHV DC DS technical project was tested to be qualified.
Hunan Changgao High Voltage Switchgear Group Co., Ltd. is a leading business in high-voltage DS industry of China, with the major products including 126-1100kV outdoor high-voltage DS and ES. Since 2010, its revenue from 550KV or above, 363KV, 252KV DS, especially 550KV or above DS, has been declining, mainly due to two reasons: first, the investment demand has shrunk in the wake of the huge investment in 550KV-750KV backbone network in 2008-2009; second, the examination & approval and construction of 1,000KV or above UHV projects have slowed down since 2011.
