1.Overview of Low Altitude Lighting Industry
Low altitude lighting, as a key area to ensure the safety of low altitude flight, has developed rapidly with the rapid rise of low altitude economy. Its products are widely used in fields such as general airports and low altitude aircraft, upgrading from early basic lighting to intelligent and integrated lighting systems. From 2021 to 2023, the market size of the low altitude lighting industry will grow from 59.2 billion yuan to 75.475 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 12.91%; By 2024, it is expected to surpass the 100 billion yuan mark, and by 2028, the scale will surge to 547.255 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 53.48%, demonstrating enormous development potential.
2.Driving factors for the development of low altitude lighting industry
The strong support of national policies is an important driving force for the development of the low altitude lighting industry. The introduction of policies such as the Implementation Plan for Innovative Applications of General Aviation Equipment (2024-2030) has elevated the low altitude economy to a strategic level, clarified the target market size of trillions, promoted innovative applications of general aviation equipment, directly stimulated the growth of demand for low altitude lighting equipment, and provided direction and guarantee for the development of the industry. At the same time, the rapid development of technologies such as 5G, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence has prompted continuous innovation in low altitude lighting technology. The intelligent lighting system can automatically adjust the lighting parameters according to environmental changes, and the smart light pole realizes real-time communication between low altitude aircraft and the ground. Technological progress improves product performance, expands application scenarios, and accelerates the intelligent and integrated development process of the industry.
3.Low altitude lighting industry industry chain
The upstream of the low altitude lighting industry supply chain includes the supply of raw materials and components such as LED chips and epitaxial components. Currently, the technical difficulty of LED epitaxial components is high, and international manufacturers dominate, but China's localization process is accelerating. The midstream is the lighting packaging stage, with numerous domestic and foreign manufacturers participating. The industry has high technical barriers, and Chinese low altitude lighting manufacturers are gradually rising. The downstream covers various application scenarios such as airport navigation lighting, drone navigation, etc. The secondary replacement of LED lamps and the development of low altitude economy bring growth opportunities to the market.
4.Analysis of Competitive Landscape
The competitive landscape of the low altitude lighting industry presents obvious characteristics of a hierarchical structure. The first tier of overseas large manufacturers and specialized large manufacturers in China occupy a leading position with technological, brand, and market advantages; The second tier of large leading manufacturers in the Chinese lighting industry, with strong brand influence and technological strength; Chinese small and medium-sized manufacturers in the third tier are seeking development opportunities in specific fields, but their overall competitiveness is relatively weak.
The development of China's low altitude economy industry chain is unbalanced, the market consumption potential is not fully stimulated, the proportion of output value on the demand side of unmanned aerial vehicle consumption is low, and there is a shortage of domestic aircraft products, resulting in fewer market participants in sub sectors such as low altitude lighting. Compared with developed countries such as the United States, China has insufficient supply of low altitude infrastructure, a small number and uneven distribution of general airports, and low efficiency in the use of low altitude airspace, which limits the development of domestically produced low altitude lighting equipment.
China's leading lighting companies such as Mu Linsen have entered the low altitude lighting industry, accelerating the localization process with the advantages of LED lighting technology and patent accumulation. It has established an aviation lighting division, focusing on the research and development of related products. It is expected that the localization rate of the low altitude lighting industry will significantly increase by 2030. The development of the global low altitude economy has driven an increase in demand for low altitude lighting equipment. Chinese manufacturers have advantages in LED technology, intelligent systems, and cost control. For example, Mu Lin Sen's business covers the world and is expected to gain more market share in overseas markets, enhancing international competitiveness.
5.Future Development Trends of Low Altitude Lighting Industry
The low altitude lighting industry is in a golden period of rapid development driven by policy support, technological progress, and market demand. Although facing some challenges, the future development prospects are broad. With the acceleration of localization process and continuous promotion of technological innovation, the industry will continue to move towards intelligence, integration, and green direction, playing a more important role in the development of low altitude economy, providing strong support for ensuring low altitude flight safety and promoting the development of related industries.
(1) Technological innovation drives the development of intelligence and integration
With the popularization of technologies such as 5G, IoT, and artificial intelligence, low altitude lighting equipment will become more intelligent and integrated. The intelligent lighting system can monitor environmental changes in real time through sensors, automatically adjust light brightness and color temperature, and ensure the best lighting effect. For example, smart light poles, equipped with 5G base stations and various sensors and sensing devices, can achieve real-time communication and data transmission between low altitude aircraft and the ground, providing accurate data support for aircraft flight control and navigation.
(2)Greening has become an inevitable trend
Under the promotion of the national "dual carbon" strategy, energy conservation and emission reduction policies, and green economy, the application of LED lamps in low altitude lighting will continue to deepen. LED lighting fixtures have the characteristics of high efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection and low-carbon, and are about to usher in a peak demand for secondary replacement.
(3)The process of localization is accelerating, and market competitiveness is improving
The localization process of China's low altitude lighting industry is accelerating, and leading domestic lighting enterprises represented by Mu Linsen are beginning to layout in the field of low altitude lighting. It is expected that by 2030, the localization rate of the low altitude lighting industry will exceed 80%, and the competitiveness of Chinese manufacturers in the global market will gradually improve.
(4)The market size continues to expand
Driven by multiple factors such as national policy support, rapid development of low altitude economy, and technological progress, the market size of low altitude lighting is expected to maintain a high-speed growth trend, reaching 547.255 billion yuan by 2028.
