What is the development prospect of China's lighting appliance industry in 2016

As a major producer, exporter and consumer of lighting appliances valued by the world today, according to incomplete statistics, Chinese goods are exported to 218 countries and regions, and domestic lighting malls account for more than 20% of global lighting malls. The current situation and development trend of China's lighting appliance industry touch the future of every company and lighting personage. In this huge and rapidly developing mall, are we satisfied with this industry? With the acceleration of the iterative speed of lighting commodity research and development and skills, facing opportunities and challenges, can we cope with the changes in lighting pattern and industry?

1、 Industrial dispersion

China's lighting appliance manufacturers are mainly scattered in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Shanghai and other provinces and cities on the southeast coast, namely the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and the Fujian Delta. In recent years, due to the rising production costs of land, labor, logistics, industrial transportation demand, local policy orientation and other factors, some companies began to move to the central and western regions, such as Jiangxi, Anhui and other places. It is estimated that this trend will continue in the future.

2、 Company characteristics

Domestic production companies mainly have the following characteristics: a large number, small planning, mainly private.

1. Many

According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 20000 lighting appliance manufacturers nationwide. In recent years, due to the rapid development of LED lighting, an appropriate number of LED upstream chip companies, midstream packaging companies, home appliance companies, electronics companies and even other professional companies have poured into the use of LED lighting, making the company's troops further expanded.

2. Small planning

Small company planning and low industrial concentration are the outstanding characteristics of China's lighting appliance industry. Nowadays, the annual sales volume of the largest lighting companies in China is about 4 billion yuan, and few companies have an annual sales volume of more than 2 billion yuan. The total sales volume of the top 10 lighting companies accounts for less than 5% of the total sales volume of the entire profession. Many other production companies with small and medium-sized planning exist.

3. Mainly private

At present, the vast majority of domestic lighting appliances production companies are private companies. In addition, there are some wholly foreign-owned companies, Sino foreign joint ventures and Sino foreign cooperative companies, and state-owned companies are hard to find.

3、 Commodity composition

① Thermal radiation light source

Incandescent lamp

With the influence of the global trend of gradually screening incandescent lamps, the output value and export volume of incandescent lamps have decreased this year. Especially for high-power incandescent lamps, the fluctuation is greatly reduced. The import and sale of incandescent lamps for general lighting of 15W and above will be prohibited from October 1, 2016 in China.

Halogen lamp

Because of the excellent light color quality and the high efficiency compared with incandescent lamps, halogen lamps are highly expected by consumers in Europe and America, which is also determined by the spending habits in the above regions; Although it is also affected by LED lighting products, the decline of various traditional lighting products is also steep.

② Gas discharge light source

Fluorescent lamp

Since the implementation of the government subsidized efficient lighting commodity promotion project arranged by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance in 2008, compact fluorescent lamps and straight tube fluorescent lamps have been greatly developed, and the total amount of fluorescent lamps has greatly exceeded that of incandescent lamps. However, in recent years, under the direct impact of the continuous improvement of the cost performance ratio of LED lighting products in shopping malls, fluorescent lamp products have passed their golden period since 2013 and entered the channel of decreasing year by year.

HID

High pressure mercury lamp is similar to incandescent lamp, which is due to the gradual screening process of inefficient lighting products. However, high pressure sodium lamp has been in the trend of decreasing year by year since the last three years, while various application areas of metal halide lamp are more directly impacted by LED lighting products, with significant reduction of fluctuations, especially ceramic metal halide lamp.

③ Solid state light source

LED lighting

It has been gradually promoted to all categories of general lighting, and its quotation is rapidly decreasing, and its reliability and function are also constantly improving. It is the primary commodity in the market today. The improvement of cost performance makes LED lighting products gradually encroach on the original share of traditional lighting products in the market.

Today, although the main force of the mall is still the light source replacement products (Retrofit), such as LED bulbs, LED tubes, spotlights, PAR lamps and now the hot filament lamps in the mall. In addition, integrated products such as flat lamp, ceiling lamp and high ceiling lamp have developed rapidly. In the future, it will gradually develop in the direction of all integrated lamps connecting with smart home.

OLED lighting

Although the skills have also made great progress in recent years, compared with LED, the improvement speed of functions is still too slow, the quotation is also expensive, the use scope of area light sources is relatively narrow, and the skill threshold is high. Domestic top organic, Vicino and BOE companies have been following up; LG, Samsung, AYI, Sumitomo Chemical and other world-famous manufacturers are in the forefront of OLED.

④ Luminaires

Whether fixed lamps (including embedded lamps) or movable lamps are the driving force for the increase of all occupations in recent years; The spare parts of lamps and lanterns such as glass parts, metal parts and plastic parts are also developing at a high growth rate. After LED lighting enters the general lighting category, the boundary between light sources and lamps will become more ambiguous. Integrated functional lamp products that contact intelligent control will be the main force in the future shopping malls, while the transformation of decoration lamps will require a process.

In 2015, when the overall economic growth slowed down, the total sales volume of China's lighting industry was about 560 billion yuan, an increase of less than 8%, still outperforming the GDP growth; The export volume was 45 billion US dollars, up 8.3% year on year. As a whole, although the sales volume of the whole profession is still increasing, compared with the previous years, the growth rate has slowed down significantly, and has changed from a high-speed increase to a stable increase today.
