"The LED industry is growing in the middle and lower reaches of the LED industry. The indoor lighting growth in the application field is the fastest, and the price decline is also the largest year-on-year." Dr. Zhang Xiaofei, CEO of Gaogong LED, pointed out that in terms of channel layout, neither manufacturers nor merchants have How much time to wait. Since last year, traditional enterprises, export enterprises, multinational corporations, state-owned enterprises and other types of enterprises have begun to build large-scale channels. “Channel construction is only a good day.”

“The channel has become a very hot topic since the second half of the year. This is also a topic of water. As the product matures, the price becomes closer to a cheaper point, and the channel becomes a very prominent point.” Zhou Xuejun said in his speech that the channel issue is imminent.

"Current lighting has different channels coexisting, LED products are ultimately integrated lighting products, LED products have a very long life, LED is difficult to rely on large circulation, large distribution to make money.

When talking about the channel model, Zhang Yutao believes that in the future, there will be three modes: professional distribution model, furniture retail model and emerging e-commerce model.

“In the era of rapid changes in the lighting industry, it is especially important for manufacturers to work together to establish professional channels. The professional requirements of LED lighting for manufacturers and distributors are constantly improving. Now dealers need to rely on brand precipitation and user base. Manufacturers with technical and application experience, complete product lines, strong production process capability, and ability to provide professional service knowledge. Similarly, manufacturers need to be market-conscious, well-managed, familiar with products, and able to provide comprehensive service support for users. The professional sales team." Zhang Yutao said that the interdependence between manufacturers must be continuously improved, and must work closely together to create professional channels.

In the round-table discussion, the guests gave their own suggestions on the problems in channel construction, how to choose channels and manufacturers.

Lin Jiliang, general manager of Mulinsen Lighting Division

“Mu Linsen started the first wave of roadshows in nine cities in China last April. At the end of last year, we built 22 first-class agents, and as of the end of May this year, there were a total of 49 direct-purchasing agents in China. Lin Jiliang said that Mulinsen will insist on doing light sources, and as the quality of products improves, the market is constantly making up. Many manufacturers have no way to make products cheap and good. The strategy of Mulinsen products and channels is to allow customers to create a certain brand viscosity through cooperation with Mulinsen, and to recognize the performance services of all aspects of the product, which will naturally follow the company.



Xiao Xiaohong, Assistant Chairman, Jiangsu Guanghui Lighting Market

Xiao Xiaohong believes that for the lighting city, more will listen to the opinions of the distributors in the store. To judge whether a product is good or bad, the opinions of the distributor are the most important. Lighting City is not looking at the brand, but the amount of supply. A large supply of goods is a strong brand.



Zhou Shuiming, General Manager of Jiamei Times Lighting

Companies with a certain brand influence, or with comprehensive strength, are more likely to win in e-commerce.

"The combination of online sales capabilities and offline distribution capabilities is an important factor in testing the strength of the company." Zhou Shuiming said that the Jiamei era will launch its own Tmall flagship store this year.

“This is an era when the channel is king, but the needs of customers are more important than the channel.” Dr. Zhang Xiaofei said that Gaogong LED will hold a number of LED good products nationwide tour every year.
