According to statistics, China's LED packaging companies around 1500, the number of high-end packaging companies is gradually increasing, but the package with high-performance silicone to import the majority of foreign enterprises, has an absolute advantage. The silicone is mainly used for LED packaging, global package silicone is mainly provided by Japan's Shin-Etsu Chemical and Dow Corning, currently the silicone market is the trend of polarization, the dominant foreign enterprises in the high-end market as well as the price of domestic silicone war to seize the low-end market, "said CEO of a silicone enterprises in Dongguan.

"At present, China-made silicone applicable to a variety of LED packaging products, but the relatively low resistance to the old life of LED lighting products with a higher, select import silicone relatively better", said Marketing Director of a packaging company. But some people think domestic silica gel has reached the international level, domestic the silicone enterprises set up time is not long, the lack of awareness and recognition of domestic silica gel on the market. Domestic silica gel has reached a level of international market, the product is more mature, heat and resistant to the old have reached a certain level of "a company in Dongguan market. LED package currently on the market with silicone into a variety of high power LED, SMD LED, high power LED is divided into the lens, integrated and mold strips, which lens silicone requirement is relatively low, other package on silica gel demanding. "At present, the lens package can use the domestic silica gel.   Domestic the silicone enterprises established about 20-30 years or so, but as technology improved, and the emphasis on the level of technology, domestic silica gel gradually to meet the needs of the domestic terminal market.
