From January to August, Guangdong's export of lamps and lanterns reached US$3.81 billion and returned to the path of sound development.

From January to August 2011, Guangdong's lamps and lanterns exported 3.81 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 21.6% over the same period of last year. The analysis of the customs department shows that Guangdong's lamps and lanterns exports are gradually emerging from the gloom of the international financial crisis and returning to the path of sound development.

According to the Customs Department, the major export markets of Guangdong lamps and lanterns since the beginning of this year are Europe and the United States. From January to August this year, the export volume of Guangdong lamps to the United States and the European Union accounted for 63.2% of the total export value of Guangdong lamps during the same period, increasing by 14.3% and 11.6% respectively. The speed is still weak; over the same period, the export volume of Guangdong lamps and lanterns to Hong Kong, ASEAN and Japan both increased by more than 60%.

Guangzhou Customs analyzed that from January to August of this year, the main reason for the steady growth of Guangdong's lamp exports was to maintain that the first is the upgrading of energy-saving and environmentally friendly light sources to drive market demand growth. After the earthquake in Japan, the consciousness of power saving was unprecedentedly high, driving the demand for LED lighting in places such as Japanese offices. In addition, governments such as Mexico and other countries actively formulated environmental protection regulations. Traditional lighting giants introduced LED new light sources and accelerated the formation of new business models. The upgrading of energy-saving and environment-friendly light sources has boosted the demand for lamp export markets.

Another factor that promotes the steady growth of Guangdong's luminaire exports is the rapid improvement of the overall quality of lighting in mainland China. In recent years, overseas large-scale lighting companies have gradually entered the Chinese mainland, driving the improvement of their own technical standards and design levels in mainland China. Some companies actively obtained product certifications in Europe, America, Japan, and other regions, improved their production environment and labor conditions, broke through the technical barriers of developed countries, and sold products to high-end markets such as Europe, America and Japan.

It is reported that at present, China has become the world's largest producer of lighting appliances and the second largest exporter of lighting appliances. Driven by the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection, many countries and regions around the world have stepped up efforts to eliminate traditional high-energy-consuming products. After a period of exploration, LED lighting companies in mainland China have been active in the international market and have driven steady growth in exports; China's production All kinds of lamps and lanterns are also increasingly favored by consumers in Europe, America, Australia and other countries.
