As a manufacturing industry, every aspect of the LED industry is closely related, and it is a relationship of in-depth cooperation between the supply chain and the industrial chain. After the outbreak, LED companies are facing a series of problems such as insufficient supply of raw materials, supplier out of stock, tight liquidity, and low employee return rate.
As the epidemic continues to spread around the world, some small companies eventually go bankrupt because they cannot bear the operating pressure; some small and medium-sized enterprises are "live" trembling due to insufficient cash flow.
UVC LED
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the popularity of UV LEDs has continued to rise, attracting consumers' attention. In particular, UVC LEDs have become the "sweet and pastry" in the eyes of consumers by virtue of their small size, low power consumption, and environmental friendliness.
"This epidemic has made consumers popular in disguise, greatly enhancing consumers' awareness of UVC LEDs. For UVC LEDs, it can be described as a blessing in disguise.
"This epidemic has stimulated market demand for sterilization and disinfection products to a certain extent. As consumers pay more attention to hygiene and disinfection, it has brought unprecedented market opportunities to UVC LEDs."
Facing the unlimited business opportunities of UVC LED, domestic LED companies no longer wait and see, and start to rush into the layout. Looking forward to UVC LEDs, with the continuous breakthroughs in the radiation efficiency of ultraviolet LEDs, they will have a lot to do in the field of disinfection and have broad application prospects. By 2025, the 5-year compound growth rate of the UVC market will reach 52%.
Healthy lighting
With the advent of the era of healthy lighting, its application fields have become more and more extensive, covering areas such as disinfection and sterilization, medical health, education health, agricultural health, home health and so on.
Especially in the field of education lighting, affected by national policies, the renovation of classroom lighting in primary and secondary schools across the country must use products that meet the health lighting specifications, so LED companies have launched health lighting related products.
According to the data of the LED Research Institute of Advanced Industry and Research (GGII), China's health lighting market will reach 1.85 billion yuan in 2020. It is estimated that by 2023, the Chinese health lighting market will reach 17.2 billion yuan.
Although the health lighting market performed hot in 2020, market acceptance has not kept up. According to the analysis of industry insiders, the current core difficulties of the rapid popularization of healthy lighting are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
One is the lack of standards. Since the launch of the concept of healthy lighting, although there are group and enterprise standards, we have not yet seen the emergence of national-level technical standards and specifications. Different market standards make it difficult to regulate health lighting products.
The second is limited thinking. From the perspective of product development, many companies still use traditional thinking to develop healthy lighting products, paying too much attention to the light effect and display of the products, but ignoring the core essence of healthy lighting.
The third is the lack of industry order. At present, the health lighting products on the market are mixed. Some products claim to be health lighting, but they are actually ordinary lighting products. The shoddy products seriously hurt the market and cause consumers to distrust health lighting products.
For the future development of healthy lighting, companies should solve problems from the source, extract value from supporting facilities, and serve customers from the application, so that they can obtain a truly healthy light environment.
Smart light pole
Smart light poles are regarded as one of the best carriers for the realization of smart cities. In 2021, under the dual promotion of new infrastructure and 5G networks, smart light poles will usher in a big hit.
Some insiders said, “The smart light pole industry will sprout in 2018; it will start in 2019; the volume will be increased in 2020.” Some insiders believe that “2020 is the first year of the construction of smart light poles.”
According to data from the LED Research Institute of Advanced Industry and Research (GGII), China's smart light pole market will reach 41 billion yuan in 2020, and it is expected that in 2022, China's smart light pole market will reach 223.5 billion yuan.
Although the smart light pole market is booming, it also faces a series of problems.
According to Ge Guohua, deputy dean of Guangya Lighting Research Institute of Guangdong Nannet Energy, “At present, there are many smart light pole park-level and experimental projects, and there are few city-level projects; reserved redundancy, functional layout, and maintenance are difficult; the model is not clear. The benefits are not obvious, etc."
Many people in the industry have expressed doubts whether the above problems can be resolved?
To this end, the following solutions are proposed: "multiple shots in one, multiple boxes in one, multiple nets in one, and multiple cards in one."
Landscape Lighting
The new crown pneumonia epidemic is coming unexpectedly, and all areas of the LED industry chain are more or less affected. With the gradual implementation of the new infrastructure policy, landscape lighting, as an important part of it, was chosen to get rid of the dilemma in the first half of the year.
According to information released by local governments, in recent months, several landscape lighting projects across the country have initiated bidding, and market activity has increased significantly.
But in Dr. Zhang Xiaofei's opinion, "The development of landscape lighting has not yet reached the fastest speed. With the continuous fermentation of cultural and tourism industries, landscape lighting will develop rapidly in the future."
Data from the Advanced Industry Research LED Research Institute (GGII) also show that China's landscape lighting market can maintain a growth rate of more than 10% during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, and the industry is expected to reach 84.6 billion yuan in 2020.
Based on the rapid development of landscape lighting, many LED companies are competing for layout. However, it is worth noting that although there are a large number of companies participating in landscape lighting, the industry concentration is not high. Most companies are still concentrated in the middle and low-end markets of the landscape lighting industry. They do not pay attention to R&D and technology investment, and lack mature standards for competition and development And management mechanisms, there are irregularities in the industry.
As the new outlet of the LED lighting industry, landscape lighting will continue to increase rapidly in the future with the continuous improvement of standards and the continuous maturity of technology.
