Although the impact of the sudden new crown pneumonia epidemic on the manufacturing industry is not as severe as the service industry, it is undoubtedly a comprehensive test of the management and operation capabilities of lighting manufacturers and various reserves.
Wen Qidong, deputy secretary-general of the China Lighting Association, said that under the comprehensive influence of the international trade situation, the macroeconomic situation and the industry's own development, the lighting industry has entered a period of steady development from a period of rapid development, and the entire industry is also in the process of deep integration of metabolism. At present, the scale advantage of China's lighting industry is unshakable, and its manufacturing status is irreplaceable. The wide-ranging impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on the global economy also allows the world to recognize China’s important role in the global industrial chain, and the future of the industry. The goal is not to be bigger, but to be stronger. In the context of the industry’s shift from focusing on quantity to focusing on quality, general lighting manufacturers should pay more attention to intelligence, health, automotive, agriculture, off-grid, rail transit, sports venues, and commercial details while maintaining their own advantageous projects. Multiple subdivisions such as sub-, multi-functional light poles, etc.
Wen Qidong emphasized that the complex international trade situation, severe macroeconomic situation, and changing industrial development pattern, coupled with the sudden and sweeping new crown pneumonia epidemic across the country, have caused relevant manufacturers to face unprecedented difficulties. However, for lighting products with just-needed attributes, the demand will not be eliminated, but the demand will be lagging behind. Smart lighting and healthy lighting also give the industry more added value and imagination. Under this circumstance, each lighting manufacturer should clearly position itself and focus on its main business; return to rationality and expand cautiously; let go of anxiety and embrace change.
