II. Changes in Major Export Destinations
This year, under the background of deep adjustments in the global trade pattern, China's lighting Industry has actively implemented a market diversification strategy, expanding into emerging markets such as Africa to partially alleviate dependence on traditional export markets and mitigate trade risks. However, affected by fluctuations in the international trade situation, increased tariff barriers, and global supply chain restructuring, the industry's overall exports have faced pressure, with growth momentum in some markets slowing down.
