3. Development of Medium and High Power LED Lighting Products
(1) LED outdoor and industrial lighting have high entry threshold and low industry concentration ratio
In terms of market competition pattern, it mainly faces the small and medium-sized power LED lighting field of home lighting and commercial lighting, with numerous market participants and fierce industry competition. At present, leading enterprises such as Foshan Lighting, Oupu Lighting, Sunshine Lighting, and Litexin have formed in the above lighting fields, and the market concentration ratio is close to the head.
Relatively speaking, the medium to high-power LED lighting industry mainly focuses on outdoor lighting and industrial lighting. The technical difficulty of the products has increased, the entry threshold for the industry is relatively high, and the unit price is generally high. According to the Operation of China's Urban Lighting Market issued by the China Lighting Association in February 2022, "the overall industry concentration ratio of the street lamp industry is still low, which is similar to the pattern of the entire lighting industry", Among the approximately 30 billion yuan street lamp market, leading enterprises are still rare, and there are currently no 1 billion level enterprises emerging. 500 million level enterprises are also rare, and the number of small and medium-sized enterprises with sales in the tens of millions level is huge, accounting for the absolute majority.
As the demand for outdoor and industrial lighting evolves towards complexity and customization, the requirements for enterprise research and development, manufacturing, and services will be further improved. The competitiveness of the leading enterprises will also be strengthened in the future. The improvement of industrial concentration ratio is also an inevitable result of high-quality development.
(2) Low energy consumption is an urgent demand for industrial lighting, and LED lighting has significant energy savings
Traditional industrial lighting equipment, due to its low energy conversion efficiency and high energy consumption, cannot meet the requirements of energy conservation and emission reduction in the industrial field. Industrial enterprises have also been facing the challenge of cost control, and there is an urgent need for cost-effective lighting solutions. LED lamps can accurately realize the lighting required by industry. Compared with traditional lighting, light pollution can be controlled to reduce by 50%, and energy consumption can be controlled to reduce by up to 70%. It has a significant energy-saving effect in all-weather industrial sites.
(3) The replacement process of LED outdoor and industrial lighting was relatively late, and in recent years, China's export trend has been good, ushering in market development opportunities
1) The overall technical difficulty of outdoor and industrial lighting is higher, and the technology application is relatively late
The emergence of LED lighting has broken the traditional design methods and ideas of light sources and become a new direction for the development of lighting technology. Among them, small power products such as home lighting and commercial lighting are easy to replace and adapt to the environment. Therefore, they have welcomed the market demand for large-scale upgrading and upgrading earlier, and the industry has a high level of maturity.
In comparison, outdoor and industrial lighting are mainly used in large application areas such as municipal roads and industrial workshops, with generally higher power, while the overall power of household and commercial lighting fixtures is lower. The design of outdoor and industrial lighting heat dissipation is strict, and balancing weight and volume with heat dissipation, light efficiency, stability and other issues has become a technical difficulty in the industry. Overall, the technology application and replacement process is relatively late.
Overall, the differences in the segmented lighting market are as follows:
a. Outdoor lighting
Municipal roads, outdoor parking lots, airports, ship ports, etc
The natural environment is variable, with a wide range of lighting areas and higher power, emphasizing high energy efficiency ratio. Generally, it is a large-scale replacement that requires higher technical requirements such as stability (high protection and lightning protection levels), heat dissipation, and long warranty life.
b. Industrial lighting:
Industrial factories, warehouses, workshops, etc
Downstream applications cover multiple industries such as steel, electricity, chemicals, and building materials. The industrial environment is complex and requires stable lighting in environments such as high and low temperatures, strong corrosion, strong impact, and electromagnetic interference. It also requires higher light quality and visual comfort for fine operations. At the same time, based on emission reduction indicators, there are higher requirements for heat dissipation and energy-saving technology, and entry barriers are high.
c. Special lighting:
Professional lighting venues such as greenhouses, petroleum and petrochemical areas, large sports venues, etc
Applied in professional settings, one must possess strong technical strength and experience accumulation in their respective professional fields.
If explosion-proof lamps have strict requirements for safety certification level, the certification difficulty is extremely high and the certification time is long, it is necessary to ensure the high safety of the product in explosion-proof places; Plant lamp manufacturers need to have high-precision spectral analysis to meet the natural lighting conditions required for crop growth.
d. Home lighting and commercial lighting
Living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, etc; Supermarkets, shopping malls, hotels, etc
Mainly focused on small and medium-sized power lighting products, the lighting environment is relatively stable, and the technology has become more mature. Currently, the main focus is on color rendering index, user environment creation, etc., making lighting more artistic and humanized.
2) Driven by the progress of LED technology and the international concept of energy conservation and emission reduction, China's LED outdoor and industrial lighting exports are growing rapidly
With the progress of LED technology and the concept of carbon neutrality becoming an international consensus, the application scenarios of LED lamps are gradually extended to outdoor, industrial lighting and other fields, ushering in market development opportunities. According to data from the China Lighting Electrical Appliances Association, in 2021, the export value of high-power LED lamps in China (including street lamps, mining lamps, floodlights, plant lamps, and other lamps, covering outdoor, industrial lighting and other application fields) reached 22.561 billion US dollars, an increase of 30.32% compared to 2020, reflecting strong market demand.
3) Intelligent lighting generates more market demand
In recent years, with the vigorous development of IoT related technologies, LED lighting products have gradually become the carrier and interface of data connection processes due to the semiconductor properties of LEDs, providing more possibilities for the intelligence of lighting products. The characteristics and technological advancements of LED semiconductors have made it possible to provide complete lighting control solutions for large areas. In addition, LED, as a semiconductor device, is compatible with control and can be adjusted to 10% of the light output, while most fluorescent lamps can only reach about 30% of the full brightness. The low threshold of LED intelligent dimming provides an important way for on-demand lighting, control of economic costs, and energy conservation. Overall, intelligent lighting fixtures have given rise to more demand in the LED lighting market.
4) Special lighting fields represented by plant lighting, sports lighting, explosion-proof lighting, etc. bring emerging market space
LED is a low heating cold light source that can be irradiated at close range with adjustable light intensity spectrum. It is an ideal light source for modern facility agriculture and plant lighting, and has good application prospects. Plant lighting actively regulates and optimizes plant growth and development by using artificial light sources and intelligent control equipment to create a suitable lighting environment or compensate for insufficient natural lighting. The importance of the sports industry has increased in various regions and countries around the world, and sports infrastructure construction projects are constantly being carried out. The number of sports venues, sports events, and sports population is on the rise year by year, and sports lighting will also usher in rapid development.
In addition, with the continuous promotion of industrialization and the emphasis on safety technology systems in downstream fields such as petroleum, chemical, natural gas, and coal, the rigid demand for explosion-proof lighting is constantly released, bringing incremental market space to the lighting industry.
