Prospects of Intelligent Lighting Industry: Rapid Expansion of Industry Scale Driven by Technology and Demand
With the application of Internet of Things technology and artificial intelligence technology in many industries, and the continuous enrichment of intelligent products, intelligent lighting, as an important sub industry of intelligent products, is increasingly receiving consumer attention. Consumers have also put forward new requirements for the intelligence of lighting products. At the same time, the 5G era and internet technology have accelerated the iteration of intelligent lighting equipment, leading to new demands from consumers for the intelligence and high-end of lighting, as well as adaptability to various usage scenarios, thereby promoting the expansion of China's intelligent lighting industry. The data shows that the market size of China's intelligent lighting industry is about 41.3 billion yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 12.2%.
Summary
Intelligent lighting refers to the use of lighting products, sensors, and communication devices in combination to intelligently adjust the brightness of the light, control the distribution of the light switch, adjust the spectrum, and set the scene, achieving safety, energy conservation, health, and comfort. Compared to traditional lighting equipment, intelligent lighting equipment has more new functions that can provide consumers with a brand new experience. Intelligent lighting equipment can collect environmental, user, and other information through various sensors and communication devices, and adjust the equipment based on the information. At the same time, intelligent lighting devices are also the gateway to smart cities. When intelligent lighting devices complete coverage in various corners of the city, they can play a role in urban planning, traffic information, environmental detection, and other aspects based on the information of intelligent lighting devices. According to different application fields, intelligent lighting can be roughly divided into four categories: industrial and commercial lighting, home lighting, outdoor lighting, and public lighting.
Industry policies
In 2021, the country issued the "14th Five Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People's Republic of China and the Long Range Objectives for 2035" and the "Guiding Opinions of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development and Other Departments on Accelerating the Development of Digital Families and Improving the Quality of Living", which provided relevant instructions on smart lighting for home use. In particular, the "Guiding Opinions" proposed to build fully decorated residential buildings and community supporting facilities by the end of 2025, fully equipped with communication connectivity capabilities, and equipped with necessary smart products; Existing residential and community supporting facilities, with certain intelligent products, digital transformation has achieved initial results. In 2022, the country issued the "14th Five Year Plan for National Urban Infrastructure Construction", which proposed to focus on green lighting and smart light poles, and strengthen energy-saving transformation of urban lighting. The industrial policies introduced by the country have provided clear and broad market prospects for the development of the intelligent lighting industry, and have provided a good production and operation environment for enterprises.
Industrial chain
From the perspective of the industrial chain, the upstream of intelligent lighting includes raw materials, components, control systems, and modes; The midstream section can be mainly divided into two parts based on different products: intelligent lighting equipment and intelligent lighting platforms; The downstream part can be divided into industrial and commercial lighting, home lighting, outdoor lighting, public lighting, etc. according to different application scenarios.
