As a gathering place for LED lighting companies, Guangdong Province leads the country in the development of its LED industry. The four clusters of Shenzhen, Huizhou, Zhongshan and Foshan have made significant contributions to the development of the LED industry in Guangdong Province. Among them, Shenzhen, as one of the country's largest LED industry clusters, has always been synonymous with China's LEDs, and its development has always been the country's vane.
As one of the special economic zones in the country, Shenzhen has a developed economy and advantageous geographical location, and has become the leader of the four major LED industry clusters in Guangdong. In terms of LED industry-related policies, its innovation and reform are ahead of other cities.
In April 2020, the Shenzhen Municipal Housing and Construction Bureau issued a notice on the "Guidelines for the Application of Shenzhen 2020 Special Funds for Building Energy-saving Development (Public Building Energy-saving Renovation Demonstration Projects)" to vigorously support the energy-saving development of public buildings, which is important for promoting the development of the LED lighting industry. , The improvement of competitiveness plays an important role. In terms of policy support, Shenzhen has long been an industry leader in promoting the development of the LED lighting industry.
For the development of the LED lighting industry, Shenzhen has vigorously promoted the development of the industry through financial subsidies. In 2019, the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Housing and Construction conducted the comprehensive energy-saving renovation project of Shenzhen Mission Hills New Town, the energy-saving renovation project of the lighting system of Shenzhen Airport terminal, the comprehensive energy-saving renovation project of Shenzhen Hongchang Plaza, the lighting renovation project of Kerry Yantian Port Logistics Park, etc. The support involves the replacement of LED lamps and promotes the scale development of the LED industry, and the amount of subsidy is huge, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars depending on the scope of the project.
2. Industry chain: Shenzhen's LED industry chain is perfect
Guangdong's LED industry chain is well developed, with companies participating in all links of the industry chain. In the fields of upstream substrate materials, epitaxial wafers and chips, Guangdong Shenzhen, Huizhou, Zhongshan, and Foshan have many companies in the LED lighting industry chain. In the upstream epitaxial wafer and chip fields, Shenzhen has Miaohao Hi-Tech, Apistone, and Century Epistar. , Fangda Guoke and other well-known enterprises, Huizhou has Huizhou Career, NVC, TCL lighting, etc., Zhongshan has Zhongshan Zhaolong Optoelectronics, Zhongshan Dehua Chips, etc.
Shenzhen LED lighting industry has many enterprises, comprehensive supporting industries, rich development experience, obvious capital advantages, developed logistics, and relatively complete industrial chain.
--Shenzhen LED industry has a cluster advantage
As of 2016, the scale of enterprises engaged in the LED industry in Guangdong Province has reached more than 4,000, driving related employment of 3 million people, and an output value of more than 350 billion yuan. Ranked first in the country. The LED industry in Guangdong Province is concentrated, and the four major clusters have made greater contributions to the development of the LED industry in Guangdong Province.
As one of Guangdong's cities near Shenzhen, Huizhou has become an important semiconductor lighting industry base in the country, with both industry leaders and industry public service platforms. After years of development, Zhongshan has become the country's largest production base and wholesale market for lighting fixtures, as well as an important production base and trade center for LEDs in the country.
Foshan is an important manufacturing base in the Pearl River Delta. The LED industry has many leading companies such as Boshan Lighting and Shelllight Lighting, which are extremely influential. Downstream lamp manufacturing has great advantages.
As one of the largest LED industry clusters in the country, Shenzhen has complete industrial supporting facilities and a concentration of high-tech talents. It has obvious advantages in technology research and development talents, capital advantages, and already developed logistics advantages.
As a developed city in the LED industry, Shenzhen's LED industry is developing rapidly. In 2016, the output value of Shenzhen's LED industry exceeded 170 billion, ranking first in the country for a long time. The development of Shenzhen's LED industry has unique advantages, and the advantages of industry focus are obvious. Shenzhen's comprehensive LED industry support is one of the core factors that help Shenzhen's LED industry to lead the way; Shenzhen also has obvious technological advantages and capital advantages.
3. Industrial upgrading: many companies in Shenzhen seek to upgrade
As the penetration rate of LED lighting products continues to increase, the consumer market is showing a trend of excessive competition, and LED lighting lamps are gradually developing towards low prices. Many LED lighting companies are seeking industrial upgrades and are moving towards smart and energy-saving development.
Consumers' requirements for personalized lighting, energy conservation and environmental protection are constantly improving, and smart lighting has become an inevitable solution for the development of the industry. Shenzhen plans to build 4526 smart light poles in 2020 to provide development space for LED lighting companies.
Shenzhen LED lighting companies are seeking industrial upgrades earlier. In 2016, Shenzhen's LED industry embarked on a major reshuffle, turning "manufacturing" into "intelligent manufacturing", using innovative methods to improve quality and efficiency, and produce high-end, smart LED lighting products.
In August 2020, the Shenzhen Smart Pole Industry Promotion Association released the list of "the first batch of warehousing units for Shenzhen's multi-functional smart pole supporting products". A number of Shenzhen LED companies, including Aclaite, Unilumin Technology, Mingjiahui, Overclocking 3, and Wanrun Technology, were shortlisted.
With the development of smart cities, there will be more LED lighting companies in Shenzhen seeking to upgrade in the future. As of June 2020, Shenzhen has initially built 2,450 poles, which is among the highest in the province. It is planned to build 4,526 multi-functional smart poles within this year.
At present, Shenzhen Nanshan, Futian, Pingshan, Longgang and other areas and sections have begun pilot smart pole projects, including the reconstruction of Qianhai Qianwan 1st Road (108) and the reconstruction of Futian Central District (1537).
Many LED lighting companies in Shenzhen seek industrial upgrades and develop smart lighting. In May 2019, Internet Weekly published the "2019 Smart Lighting Enterprise Ranking" (TOP50). There are 22 companies on the list in Guangdong Province, of which 10 companies in Shenzhen are on the list, and the number of companies is close to half, ranking first in Guangdong Province.
4. Enterprises: There are many LED lighting companies in Shenzhen
As a national-level semiconductor lighting industrialization base, Shenzhen has the most mature LED industry, the most complete supporting facilities, and the largest industrial scale. Shenzhen is the largest LED packaging and LED display production base in China. Shenzhen has a large number of listed LED companies and enterprises above designated size.
