LED lighting, as a new generation of lighting technology, utilizes light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as its core light source, featuring high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and long lifespan. Its unique semiconductor light-emitting principle allows it to provide uniform and soft lighting with low energy consumption, while offering excellent color rendering capabilities. LED lighting stands out not only in terms of energy efficiency but also in its dimmability and customizability, making it widely applicable in various settings.
In the context of growing global environmental concerns, with an increasing focus on energy conservation, emission reduction, and carbon neutrality, the trend of replacing traditional light sources with LEDs has intensified. As a representative of high-efficiency energy-saving technology, LED lighting plays a significant role in reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to global energy-saving and emission-reduction goals. Additionally, the long lifespan of LEDs reduces the frequency of lighting equipment replacement, minimizing resource use and waste generation, aligning with sustainable development and carbon neutrality goals. The widespread adoption of LED lighting is not only about promoting advanced lighting technology but also a key step in supporting global sustainability and environmental protection.
With advancements in LED technology and decreasing costs, governments worldwide have introduced policies to encourage the replacement of traditional light sources with LEDs. These policies include banning incandescent lamps and establishing energy efficiency standards to encourage businesses and individuals to adopt LED lighting. As a result, the penetration rate of LED lighting has been steadily increasing. In China, since the introduction of favorable policies such as the "Roadmap for the Phased Elimination of Incandescent Lamps," the penetration of LED lighting has risen steadily, surpassing global levels. By 2021, China's LED lighting penetration rate reached 80%. Globally, LED lighting accounted for just 1.8% of the market in 2012, but by 2021, the global average penetration had increased to 66%. It is expected that the global penetration rate will reach 75.8% by 2025, with higher demand for replacement in overseas markets.
