Will the domestic smart lighting market size reach US$200 billion in the next five years?

In response to the country’s call to develop smart cities, our country has been actively promoting the development of intelligent industries. Since the late 1990s, the development of my country's intelligent building industry has become increasingly mature. At present, the market size of China's smart building industry has reached 100 billion yuan, with at least 3,000 companies engaged in the industry. The market share of LED lighting fixtures in smart buildings is currently about 20-30%. With the continuous improvement of LED light efficiency, this proportion will definitely continue to rise in the future. Therefore, it can be said that the boom in smart building construction has played a very positive role in promoting the development of the smart LED lighting industry.
Since the smart lighting industry entered the Chinese market in the 1990s, it has been developing slowly due to factors such as market consumption awareness, market environment, product prices, and promotion efforts. However, in recent years, as IT and Internet technology have kicked off the transformation of traditional industries, especially the real estate industry, which has been advancing rapidly, as well as the continuous improvement of LED light efficiency and the gradual maturity of intelligent control technology, the domestic intelligent lighting industry has developed rapidly, and various intelligent products have been launched. Experts predict that China’s smart lighting market is expected to reach US$200 billion in the next five years.
At present, the intelligent lighting systems of intelligent buildings are interconnected by buses. Generally, intelligent lighting systems integrate three systems: high-voltage AC power supply, low-voltage DC control and sensor network to complete intelligent functions. However, Mr. Wu Jian, technical director of CommScope Greater China, said: "With the development of Ethernet, many systems will be unified on a network platform, and intelligent lighting will also enter the unified and integrated network."
Although there are many technical schools of traditional smart lighting, the design and installation are complicated, mainly because the three systems (power supply, control, sensor) cannot be unified. Traditional lamps also consume high energy. If traditional lamps are still used, energy saving is a challenge.
While LEDs are becoming more and more popular, many advantages of LEDs are also recognized by people. However, traditional smart lighting systems cannot make full use of these unique advantages of LED lamps, such as precise dimming, constant driving current, simple deployment, etc. Obviously, LED lamps require a more energy-saving low-voltage DC power supply method, as well as unified intelligent management methods and energy-saving strategies.
Moreover, Mr. Wu Jian said: "Low-voltage DC powered LED lamps do not need to pass 3C certification, which reasonably and legally saves a large amount of certification and testing costs, shortens the product launch cycle, and reduces product development costs. Therefore, it is likely to become the mainstream demand in the smart home market in the future."
