The 13th Five-Year Plan is formulated to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the intelligent energy-saving lighting industry

Soso LED News: The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee is being held in Beijing. According to the first phase layout of "Made in China 2025", during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, industrialization will be basically achieved, a number of key core technologies in key areas will be mastered, competitiveness in advantageous areas will be further enhanced, and product quality will be greatly improved. Significant progress has been made in the digitalization, networking, and intelligence of the manufacturing industry. Energy consumption, material consumption and pollutant emissions per unit of industrial added value in key industries have dropped significantly. Intelligent energy-saving lighting industry.

This is because my country's traditional manufacturing industry is facing a series of problems such as the slowdown in China's economic growth and the impact of the Internet industry, and my country's transformation from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power requires the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing companies.

Difficulties in the transformation of the intelligent energy-saving lighting industry

So, what are the practical explorations and solutions for traditional enterprises to seek transformation? Should we choose fine processing or open up the entire industrial chain? Should we develop across industries or continue to expand the market? Here are two examples from the typical manufacturing industry of lighting. The two different development paths may be worth learning from.

In recent years, the lighting industry is undergoing a new light source revolution due to the wave of LED replacement brought about by the incandescent lamp withdrawal plans introduced by various countries. Nowadays, the increasingly popular LED products have continued to start price wars as more companies join the lighting industry. At the same time, traditional companies are facing the impact of the Internet and the pressure of economic downturn. The LED lighting industry has changed from a "blue ocean" to a "red ocean", and the survival situation of enterprises is worrying.

Data from the National Bureau of Statistics show that in the first half of 2015, there were a total of 579 loss-making enterprises in the national LED lighting industry, with a loss rate of 22.18%, which was 8.6 percentage points higher than the loss rate of the national light industry industry. According to statistics from LEDinside, a market research organization, the average unit price of LEDs has fallen by 30% to 40% this year, and the industry's output value has only grown by 2%, reaching US$14.52 billion.

Geng Bo, deputy secretary-general of the National Semiconductor Lighting R&D and Industry Alliance, recently said that under the general environment, investment in infrastructure construction, one of the "Troika", has slowed down. For the lighting industry that belongs to the building materials and electrical engineering category, there is a problem of shrinking market demand. The LED downstream application market is in a situation of excessive competition caused by product homogeneity, the needs of enterprises and the market are fragmented, the market needs to be standardized, and it is in the stage of industry reshuffle. When traditional lighting products are replaced by longer-life lighting products such as LEDs, the fixed market share replacement is completed. Where the future market space will be is the concern of the industry.

The entire industry chain of the intelligent energy-saving lighting industry integrates and embraces "Internet +"

Ge Jie, a researcher at the CCID Institute of Integrated Circuits, said that the LED industry has also been greatly affected by this year's economic downturn, which is reflected in low corporate profits and financing difficulties for small and medium-sized enterprises. With the development of smart lighting, many companies in other industries have entered the LED industry, resulting in overcapacity and further deterioration of the market competition environment. In addition, product prices have dropped and profit margins have been compressed. Regarding how lighting companies transform and upgrade, Geng Bo believes that on the one hand, they should strengthen independent research and development capabilities, and at the same time, they should seek transformation in the production, management, and technology of the company to cultivate new market opportunities and business models. On the other hand, think about how to move from traditional manufacturing to smart manufacturing, and how to move from the entire replacement market to the smart lighting market.
