There is danger ahead: LED lighting companies please drive carefully

2014 is destined to be an extraordinary year for the LED industry. Carrying on the good momentum in 2013, the LED lighting market has ushered in three golden years. However, companies in the industry should pay attention to three major "hidden hazards".

Competition in the industry is intensifying

At present, the LED display and lighting application fields have broad prospects and have been attracting attention during the rapid development process. However, the concentration of the industry is still not high, the market share is relatively scattered, and the competition is fierce. Driven by industrial policies and against the background of expanding market demand, more capital may enter the LED industry in the future, and companies will face more intense market competition. South China is currently a region where the domestic LED industry is concentrated and competition is fierce. Compared with many foreign competitive manufacturers, domestic companies have comprehensive advantages in manufacturing, sales channels, brands, costs, etc., and their product quality has reached the international advanced level. However, as competition in the industry continues to intensify, if a company cannot continue to maintain its advantages in technology, management, scale, brand and technology research and development, it may face the risk of being surpassed by competitors, which will have a certain adverse impact on the company's operating performance.

Price war becomes increasingly fierce

The LED industry has rapid technological progress and rapid product upgrades. While production costs are gradually decreasing, product prices are also on a downward trend. At the same time, driven by national policies, more capital has entered the LED industry, and new production capacity has been gradually released, resulting in intensified market competition and falling product prices. Through technological innovation and management innovation, the company maintains the competitive advantage of the company's LED products, continuously increases the research and development of new products, adjusts product structure, focuses on market segments, and maintains the stability of the gross profit of the company's main business. At the same time, the company fully implements lean production management and integrates the supply chain system, effectively reducing raw material procurement costs and product production costs. However, the rapid expansion of the market scale and intensified competition may still further reduce product prices, putting some companies at risk of declining profitability.

The "production expansion wave" is coming and management is a hidden hazard

Since the lighting market picked up, the asset scale, production and sales scale, and personnel scale of some well-known lighting companies have continued to expand. The rapid development of enterprises has increasingly higher management requirements for business decision-making and management activities, human resources management, risk control and other aspects. If enterprises cannot improve their management capabilities and levels in a timely manner and reserve operation and management talents, they will face challenges in management models, talent reserves, technological innovation, market development and other aspects, which will expose enterprises to certain management risks. Therefore, enterprises must attach great importance to changes in the internal and external market environment and changes in industry policies, adhere to the established strategic guidelines, persist in pioneering and innovating, and have the courage to innovate in the face of internal shortcomings. On the basis of fully studying all factors, enterprises must strive to achieve forward-looking arrangements in R&D, production, marketing and other business systems, grasp changes, and achieve leapfrog development.
