In 2008, the domestic market scale of Chinese lighting manufacture industry was above 8 billion US Dollars, with exports of more than 6 billion US Dollars. At present, lighting manufacturers in China are about 10 thousand, which mainly lie in Yangtze Delta and Zhu Jiang delta areas. The total enterprises in these two areas are about 90% in the whole enterprises.

Zhu Jiang delta is the main producing zone of lighting appliance. The enterprises are mainly in Zhongshan, Fushan, Dongguan, Huizhou and Shenzhen etc. Various lighting appliance enterprises are more than five thousand, about 60% of the whole enterprises in China. The main products of these enterprises are decorating lighting appliances, indoor functional lighting appliances. With several-year development, market influence gradually expands and product exports increase obviously.

At present, Chinese lighting possess price advantages in the international market. However, the problems of small scale production, capital shortage and lagging technology etc. still exist in Chinese lighting manufacture industry.

Many lighting export enterprises in Zhu Jiang delta depend on card produce for foreign companies and only can gain slight profits. With the increase costs of Chinese work force and the fluctuation of material price, the production costs will increase obviously, which make these enterprises lose their prices. The lighting manufacture industry belongs to labor-intensive industry and its technology requirements are very low. Most manufacturers are small companies with tens of workers. These companies usually buy accessories abroad and then assembly and export them to medium and low level markets. Under the fierce competition, the operations of these companies change greatly. If these enterprises want to long term development, they must strengthen their research of new products and transfer to energy-saving products. Under the circumstances of international financial crisis, some enterprises will be washed out and some enterprises will get larger development space.
