Where is the lighting industry heading in 2026? Hear what they have to say
Currently, driven by the dual forces of technological revolution and consumption upgrade, China's lighting industry is entering a critical stage of transition from "product manufacturing" to "value creation." The deep integration of the supply chain and innovation chain has given rise to new trends such as intelligence, scenario-based applications, and green development, while also imposing higher requirements on enterprises' R&D capabilities, product design, marketing models, and market responsiveness.
At the same time, the industry faces multiple challenges, including intensified low-quality and low-price competition, rapid iteration of consumer demands, and an urgent need to reconstruct growth paths. How to break through the involution dilemma and innovate for renewal has become a timely proposition that lighting companies must answer. In this context, the "Breaking Through · Towards New – 2026 Lighting Industry Trends and Innovation Conference & Lighting Consumer Market Quality Upgrade Lecture Hall" is held, aiming to build a high-value exchange platform, gather industry wisdom, and conduct in-depth discussions on key topics such as product innovation, scenario reconstruction, brand breakthroughs, and digital empowerment under new industry trends. We look forward to stimulating innovation vitality, promoting collaborative evolution of the supply chain, helping companies seize opportunities amidst changes, and jointly exploring new paths and models for the high-quality development of the lighting industry through this conference.
