Offline venue of the launch event
The China Association of Lighting Industry officially released the "2020-2021 White Paper on the Development of China's Lighting Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "White Paper") at this conference. The "White Paper" is part of the China Association of Lighting Industry's key "Three Ones" brand engineering project for 2022 ("One Book" (White Paper on the Development of China's Lighting Industry), "One Conference" (China Lighting Industry Conference), and "One Exhibition" [China (Shenzhen) Lighting Industry Supply Chain Technology Innovation Exhibition). The China Association of Lighting Industry uses the "White Paper on the Development of China's Lighting Industry" as a carrier to deepen industry statistical information, research analysis, and news release work, providing decision-making reference for industry enterprises while continuously enhancing the industry's status and influence in the national economy and across upstream and downstream sectors.
The "White Paper" focuses on the overall development of the lighting industry in 2020-2021. Centering on the current state of the lighting industry, policy analysis, market operations, technological development, standards and quality, and industry data, it provides the entire industry with an important industrial and economic publication that offers forward-looking analysis, authoritative content, rich information, and detailed data, from the height and perspective of analyzing the development of the entire lighting supply chain.
He Ye, Vice President of the China National Light Industry Council and Chairman of the China Association of Lighting Industry（中国照明电器协会）, attached great importance to the compilation of the "White Paper" and specially wrote the "Preface" for it. In the "Preface," she pointed out that 2020 and 2021 were stages of special significance in China's economic and social development. Facing the severe and complex global pandemic and external environment, the Chinese lighting industry fully implemented the new development concept, overcame multiple adverse factors such as global supply chain disruptions, chip shortages, soaring costs, power rationing in production areas, and significant exchange rate fluctuations, achieving an average annual growth rate of 4.3% over the two years. It achieved steady progress, with the industry scale reaching 680 billion yuan, a historic high, and accounting for more than 60% of the global market share, further consolidating China's position as the global manufacturing center and supply chain hub for the lighting industry, demonstrating strong development resilience and growth potential.
At the same time, the Chinese lighting industry still faces many bottleneck issues restricting high-quality development, such as intensifying competition, rising costs, sluggish demand growth, and weak innovation capabilities, and the entire industry faces a new round of challenges in transformation, upgrading, and innovative development.
She emphasized in the "Preface" that although the industry faces many challenges, the fundamental trend of China's long-term economic improvement and the basic scale advantage of China's lighting industry have not changed. Lighting products remain a rigid demand in national economic life, and new development directions such as intelligent health, green and low-carbon, emphasis on design, embracing capital, focusing on niche markets, building brand ecosystems, and transitioning from product manufacturing to solutions and system services have endowed the industry with more added value and room for imagination. At the same time, a series of policies launched by the state to stabilize the overall economy and investments in major projects such as new infrastructure and urbanization have brought unprecedented opportunities to the industry.
Under this situation, the entire industry should fully implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, take intelligent, healthy, green, low-carbon, and people-oriented lighting systems as the main direction, driven by technological innovation, based on building a modern, safe, and efficient supply chain system, thereby promoting high-quality and sustainable development of the entire industry.
Liu Shengping, Vice Chairman of the China Association of Lighting Industry (CALI)
Liu Shengping, Vice Chairman of CALI, presided over the entire conference and delivered a speech. She stated that since the establishment of the 9th Council of CALI, under the leadership of the new leadership team, the association has fulfilled its responsibilities of guidance, service, and coordination, continuously improving the efficiency of serving industry development. By leveraging three major working platforms—"One Book" (White Paper on the Development of China's Lighting Industry), "One Conference" (China Lighting Industry Conference), and "One Exhibition" (China (Shenzhen) Lighting Industry Chain Technology Innovation Exhibition (CLITI))—the association aims to boost industrial upgrading, grasp industry trends, and promote the high-quality development of the lighting industry.
Today, the "2020-2021 White Paper on the Development of China's Lighting Industry," meticulously compiled by CALI, was officially released to all sectors of society. The "White Paper on the Development of China's Lighting Industry" was launched by the Association's Secretariat based on extensive surveys of enterprise conditions, careful analysis of industry data, precise collection of relevant policies, and scientific assessment of industrial development. The "White Paper" is a detailed, highly professional, and authoritative reference material for the lighting electrical industry. It is hoped that the "White Paper" will provide useful reference and assistance for everyone to gain a deep understanding of the current development status of China's lighting electrical industry and to scientifically grasp the future of industrial development.
She expressed the hope that lighting enterprises would take proactive actions, firmly safeguard the achievements of epidemic prevention and control, actively facilitate the international and domestic dual circulation, and while continuously expanding exports, seize the development opportunities brought by new infrastructure construction and the building of a unified national market, thereby effectively promoting the high-quality development of the lighting electrical industry.
