Offline venue of the launch event

At this conference, CALI officially released the "2020-2021 White Paper on the Development of China's Lighting Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "White Paper").The "White Paper" is a key project of CALI's2022annual“Three Ones”brand initiative (“One Book” (White Paper on the Development of China's Lighting Industry), “One Conference” (China Lighting Industry Conference), “One Exhibition” [China (Shenzhen) Lighting Industry Supply Chain Technology Innovation Exhibition). CALI uses the "White Paper on the Development of China's Lighting Industry" as a carrier to deepen industry information statistics, 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 upstream and downstream sectors.

The "White Paper" focuses on 2020-2021, covering the overall development of the lighting industry. It analyzes the current state of the lighting industry, policies, market operations, technological advancements, standards and quality, and industry data. From the perspective of the entire lighting supply chain, it provides the industry with an authoritative, information-rich, and data-detailed economic literature offering forward-looking analysis.

He Ye, Vice President of the China National Light Industry Council and Chairman of the China Association of Lighting Industry (CALI), attached great importance to the compilation of the "White Paper" and specially wrote the "Preface" for it. She pointed out in the "Preface" 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%. The industry scale reached 680 billion yuan, a record high, 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 problems restricting high-quality development, such as intensifying competition, rising costs, sluggish demand growth, and weak innovation capabilities. The entire industry is facing 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 scale advantage of the Chinese lighting industry have not changed. Lighting products remain a rigid demand in national economic life. New development directions, such as intelligent health, green and low-carbon practices, 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 economic fundamentals and investments in major projects such as new infrastructure and urbanization have brought unprecedented opportunities to the industry.

Under these circumstances, 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, drive development through technological innovation, and build a modern, safe, and efficient supply chain system as the foundation, thereby promoting high-quality and sustainable development of the entire industry.

Liu Shengping, Vice Chairman of the China Association of Lighting Industry

Liu Shengping, Vice Chairman of CALI, presided over the meeting and delivered a speech throughout. 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. It promotes industrial upgrading, grasps the direction of the industry, and drives the high-quality development of the lighting industry through 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)).

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 status, careful analysis of industry data, precise collection of relevant policies, and scientific assessment of industrial development. The "White Paper" is an important resource for the lighting electrical appliance industry, featuring detailed content, strong professionalism, and considerable authority. 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 appliance industry and scientifically grasp the future of industrial development. She hopes that lighting enterprises will take proactive actions, firmly safeguard the achievements of epidemic prevention and control, actively facilitate the dual circulation of international and domestic markets, and effectively promote the high-quality development of the lighting electrical appliance industry by seizing development opportunities such as new infrastructure construction and the building of a unified national market while continuously expanding exports.
