"2020 National Lighting Industry Supply Chain Conference (36th)" Successfully Held
On September 22, 2020, the "2020 National Lighting Industry Supply Chain Conference (36th Edition)" was held online via live broadcast, organized by the China Association of Lighting Industry (CALI) and co-organized by the CALI Electric Light Source Committee, Lamp Accessories Committee, Electrical Accessories Committee, Specialized Materials Committee, Semiconductor Lighting (SSL) Committee, Smart Lighting Committee, and Optoelectronic Devices Committee, with approximately 3,800 viewers participating online. Affected by the pandemic, the 2020 National Lighting Industry Supply Chain Conference was the first time in its 30-plus year history that it was held in an online format. The conference utilized various online promotional methods to provide a communication and exchange platform for supply and demand enterprises, and for the first time adopted an electronic supply-demand guide to provide supply chain supply and demand information to enterprises.
The conference received strong support from Zhejiang Chenfeng Technology Co., Ltd., Chengdu Guibao Technology Co., Ltd., Jiangxi Shenghui Optical Technology Collaborative Innovation Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Tuya Information Technology Co., Ltd., and Xuyu Optoelectronics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.
In the first three quarters of 2020, as the domestic pandemic basically subsided, under the active guidance of CALI, the overall business operations of the lighting industry have basically recovered. However, challenges remain severe. Due to the lagging effect of the pandemic on foreign trade, the spread of overseas pandemic, the uncertain international economic and trade situation, and other factors, the uncertainty of the industry's future development has increased, and the overall pressure on the lighting industry supply chain has also increased. Under the current trend of coordinated development of the industrial chain, any link in the supply chain will affect the stable operation of the entire industry. This conference aims to implement the work related to the "Six Stabilities and Six Guarantees" proposed by the central government, fully implement the task of ensuring the stability of the lighting industry supply chain, promote the high-quality development of the lighting industry, expand the construction of the domestic lighting market system, help the continuous growth of the domestic circular economy, strengthen the upstream and downstream cooperation of the lighting industry chain, help production enterprises conveniently and effectively find high-quality suppliers, and achieve win-win cooperation.
To this end, the Forum invited 6 representatives from lighting industry enterprises as well as relevant industry experts and leaders to deliver reports on the current situation of the industry supply chain, helping enterprises understand the latest developments in the industry supply chain. The Conference also provides a platform for technical exchange and product display for enterprises engaged in the supply and demand of new materials and new technologies in the lighting industry.
Wen Qidong, Deputy Secretary-General of CALI
The Forum was chaired by Wen Qidong, Deputy Secretary-General of CALI, who thanked the guest speakers and participating enterprise representatives. He noted that this year marks the first time in over 30 years of the National Lighting Industry Supply Chain Conference that it has been held online. Although this was due to the impact of the pandemic, it also represents a new attempt and a model innovation for the conference. He pointed out that competition among quality enterprises in the future will be competition in their supply chains. The purpose of the conference is to promote the high-quality development of the lighting electrical appliance industry, strengthen upstream and downstream cooperation along the lighting electrical appliance industry chain, help manufacturers conveniently and effectively find quality suppliers, and achieve win-win cooperation.
Wang Zhuo, Secretary-General of CALI
Wang Zhuo, Secretary-General of CALI, with the theme of "Supporting Supply Chain Integration to Promote High-Quality Development," introduced the current state of high-quality development in the lighting industry from three aspects: an overview of the industry, an analysis of the elements of high-quality development, and an analysis of the current situation and countermeasures regarding product quality. She stated that China's lighting industry currently has a scale approaching 600 billion yuan, with more than 20,000 lighting enterprises, an annual output of over 10 billion light source products, and exports of 45 billion US dollars. With the development of the lighting industry, lighting products are being given more and more new functions, and the "value" of products is gradually gaining attention. These developments require the lighting industry to keep moving toward high-quality development on the premise of a stable supply chain, and to strengthen the analysis and resolution of LED lighting product quality issues. She hopes that China's lighting industry will always uphold its original aspiration of providing high-quality light for humanity and embrace the new era of the lighting electrical appliance industry with full passion. At the same time, she also hopes that enterprises and the association will strengthen cooperation and contact to jointly advance the entire industry toward high-quality development.

The convening of the conference has promoted the continuous advancement of the lighting industry toward high-quality development, building an effective communication platform for upstream, midstream, and downstream enterprises in the supply chain. He hopes everyone can gain something from this conference.
Wen Qidong, Deputy Secretary-General of the China Lighting Association, finally stated that the pandemic has led to uncertainty in industry development, increased operational risks for some enterprises, and these factors have affected the lighting industry supply chain, making decision-making and planning difficult for upstream and midstream enterprises in the supply chain. How to seek sustainable development under the new normal of the pandemic is also a topic the lighting industry needs to face directly. Judging from past situations and related data, the lighting industry has strong rigid demand resilience. China is the global lighting manufacturing center and also the center of the lighting industry supply chain. China's position in the global lighting industry cannot be replaced in the short term. Compared with other industries, the lighting industry is currently performing well. The pandemic will eventually pass; it will not eliminate demand, only delay it. In the future, high quality, intelligence, and health will add additional added value and imagination space to the industry. The lighting industry remains a sunrise industry. He hopes everyone will continue their efforts to jointly promote industry progress.
