As August arrives, the LED industry is once again witnessing price increases. Recently, 8 Chinese companies including MLS, Ruisheng Optoelectronics, Developer Microelectronics, Cailiang, BOE, and Skyworth announced adjustments in the prices of LED products. Among them, MLS, BOE, Skyworth, and Cailiang have already announced price hikes multiple times this year.

The price adjustments in August primarily cover lighting, display packaging, display driver ICs, display, and lighting products, with increases ranging from 5% to 15%.

Regarding the reasons for this round of price adjustments, all the manufacturers have cited continuous increases in upstream raw material prices. The cost of production remains disproportionate to the selling price of the products. In order to continue offering high-quality products and services and sustain the long-term health of the industry, the decision to raise product prices has been made.
