The Lighting Industry Under The Influence Of A New Round Of Epidemic

Recently, the epidemic in my country has been blooming all over China, making a comeback and expanding its scope. It has swept across 28 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, including Jilin, Guangdong, Hebei, Shandong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Yunnan, Gansu, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Beijing, etc. According to the latest report from the National Health Commission, from 0 to 24:00 on March 16, 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps reported 1,226 new local confirmed cases and 1,206 new local asymptomatic infections. In addition, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has a total of 270,133 confirmed cases.

Many industries, including lighting, have been hit again.

For example, in Shenzhen, one of the important gathering places of the LED industry in the country, the same party recently issued the "Notice on the Complete Closure of Business from March 14th to 20th", saying that according to the policy requirements of the Shenzhen New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters, In order to effectively control the risk of the spread of the epidemic, from March 14th to 20th, the same party's Shenzhen headquarters and Qianhai marketing center will be suspended. The same party stated that during the shutdown period, all relevant technical teams, support service teams and sales teams of the company adopted the home office model and provided services and technical solutions as normal. The company will closely follow the government's latest epidemic prevention and control policy requirements, and resume work and production as soon as possible in light of the latest situation of the epidemic.

Other companies/subsidiaries that have announced temporary suspension of work or work from home include Changfang Group Kang Mingsheng, LED factory Rongchuang, and LED driver IC factory Cucumulation.

The spread of the epidemic has caused some merchants to reduce their shipments, and it is difficult to transport the goods that have been traded. If manufacturers have sufficient inventories, coupled with scattered production sites, flexible and flexible scheduling will not have an immediate and significant impact.

The exhibition is a place with a high concentration of people. Under the epidemic, the exhibition schedule is constantly adjusted and the plan is constantly disrupted, which also affects the operation plan of the company to a certain extent. On March 11, the U.S. Expo and other types of exhibitions that were being held were urgently closed due to a case of a positive nucleic acid test person entering the venue at the China Import and Export Fair in Guangzhou. On the same day, Guangzhou issued an emergency notice to suspend all recent exhibition activities. . Subsequently, exhibitions such as China International Expo, Smart Home Expo, Ancient Town Expo, Shenzhen Fashion Home Design Week, and China Construction Expo (Shanghai) have successively announced postponements.

In addition, the recent coronavirus lockdowns will likely put further pressure on already frayed supply chains, increasing the risk of some trade disruptions. It is reported that Shanghai Port, Shenzhen Port, Lianyungang Port, Qingdao Port, Jiaxing Port and other ports have successively upgraded epidemic prevention and control measures, and warehouses, storage yards, trucks and shipping companies have adjusted their business. As a major trading country, countless manufacturing supply chains are connected to China, which has a huge impact.

Containers are also "tools" for the virus to spread around the world. After the epidemic, many domestic ports have tested positive for containers, especially cold-chain containers. The epidemic prevention and control departments in various places are urging relevant enterprises and units to implement "personal prevention." ”, strengthen the preventive disinfection of imported cold chain food and high-risk non-cold chain container goods, and ultraviolet disinfection equipment can escort the epidemic prevention and control.

Fighting against the epidemic is a protracted battle. In the face of a new round of epidemics, "the rhythm should not be chaotic and confidence should not be lost." On the one hand, lighting people should enhance their confidence and actively respond to the current challenges, and at the same time, they should also seek and seize the crisis brought about by the crisis. opportunity. As long as we survive this difficult period, we will surely see the spring of the industry!
