Green and environmental protection becomes mainstream
Increased demand for energy-saving lighting: Driven by the "dual carbon" policy, LED lighting, with its energy-saving advantage of more than 70%, has a market share of over 80%, and the LED market size is expected to exceed 200 billion yuan in 2025. At the same time, solar streetlights and lighting fixtures made from recyclable materials are emerging, and zero-carbon lighting solutions are also helping cities to transform into low-carbon ones.
Environmental regulations are driving change: With the increasing global environmental awareness, environmental regulations in various countries are becoming stricter, imposing strict requirements on the energy consumption and harmful substance emissions of lighting products, prompting enterprises to invest more in upgrading production processes and driving the lighting industry towards green and sustainable development.
Personalization and design aesthetics are highlighted: Consumers' demand for lighting is no longer limited to basic lighting functions; they pay more attention to product design, quality, and personalization, pursuing the harmony of lighting and home styles. Nordic, industrial, and retro design products are selling well, and popular items such as sunset lamps and starry sky lamps have exploded the market through social media.
Changes in market regions and overseas opportunities
Potential release of the central and western markets: The eastern coastal regions of China occupy a large market share, but the acceleration of urbanization in central and western China has led to rapid market demand growth, with an estimated annual growth rate exceeding 10%, which will become an important growth point for the future lighting industry.
International market expansion: The "Belt and Road" initiative has driven a surge in Chinese lighting exports, with an estimated export value exceeding US$10 billion in 2025. The acceleration of infrastructure construction in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and Africa has led to rapid growth in demand for lighting, providing broad market space for Chinese lighting companies.
Intensified industry competition: On the one hand, small and medium-sized brands may fall into price wars; on the other hand, first-tier brands will consolidate their positions through technological innovation, brand building, and product structure optimization. At the same time, with the development of the industry, technological updates are rapid, and enterprises need to continuously invest in research and development to maintain competitiveness, and the industrial chain of the lighting industry will continue to be integrated and optimized.
