2017 marked a pivotal year for implementing China's 13th Five-Year Plan and a crucial period for the development of new smart cities. According to the "13th Five-Year National Informationization Plan," approved by the State Council's executive meeting, China aims to categorize and build 100 model smart cities by 2018 and achieve significant progress in smart city construction by 2020. This includes universalæƒ æ°‘services, transparent and efficient e-government, integrated and innovative information economies, precise urban management, and secure and reliable operational systems. As the nation accelerates smart city initiatives, the market outlook for smart city technologies is highly promising. Lighting systems are essential components of urban infrastructure, making smart city lighting a critical aspect of smart city transformation. Across China, cities are swiftly advancing the intelligent upgrade of conventional streetlights, fostering the adoption of smart streetlights. In this trillion-dollar market, domestic and international companies like Feile Audio (600651), Shanghai Sansi, NVC Lighting, and GE have entered the smart city sector to capture opportunities. However, Philips Lighting leads the pack in the lighting industry, excelling in smart city projects. Globally, Philips Lighting boasts several success stories. Whether it's the citywide road lighting upgrade in Jakarta, Indonesia, or the smart connected road lighting pilot in Los Angeles, these projects demonstrate the continuous evolution of Philips' smart connected lighting systems, fundamentally transforming urban operations. With the global urban population projected to reach 60% of the total population by 2030, Philips Lighting has outlined a vision for smart city lighting and IoT services centered around people-centric products, systems, and services. In China, Philips Lighting is equally committed to contributing to the development of smart cities. "China is one of the fastest-growing nations globally. By 2030, China's urban population is expected to reach 1 billion, with an urbanization rate of 70%. The Chinese government is actively exploring sustainable urbanization," said Hong Guangli, CEO of Philips Lighting. "We are dedicated to providing tailored lighting solutions for the Chinese market through localized innovation, enhancing user experiences, and helping China advance sustainable urbanization through smart cities, smart offices, and smart home lighting." Media Reports Reveal Sanan Optoelectronics' Legal Violations According to China Economic Net, former Gansu Provincial Party Secretary Wang Sanyun, who was recently dismissed, was implicated in legal and disciplinary violations of Fujian-listed company Sanan Optoelectronics during his tenure as Anhui Governor. From November 2007 to December 2011, while in charge of Anhui, Wang Sanyun oversaw the signing of the Wuhu Optoelectronics Industrialization Project contract in Hefei in January 2010. Over the eight years from 2009 to 2016, Sanan Optoelectronics' annual reports showed government subsidies totaling 3.395 billion yuan. Public reports suggest that nearly all of Sanan Optoelectronics' street lamps were purchased from Cinda Optoelectronics and then resold to the government at prices three times the market rate. These government contracts bypassed the procurement bidding process, raising suspicions of illegal activity. According to the Securities Market Weekly on April 1, 2013, since 2010, Sanan Optoelectronics received a total of 2.65 billion yuan in street lamp orders from the governments of Wuhu, Huainan, Quanzhou, and Anxi. Surprisingly, Sanan Optoelectronics' LED street lamps are outsourced rather than self-designed or produced. Moreover, the prices of Sanan Optoelectronics' LED street lamps to local governments far exceed market rates, particularly in Quanzhou and Anxi, where they are over three times the market price. The magazine argues that Sanan Optoelectronics acts as a middleman in the LED streetlight business, contributing nearly half of its main profits in 2011. Additionally, the contracts signed between Sanan Optoelectronics and local governments reportedly have issues in execution and may violate relevant government procurement laws. April LED Filament Lamp Exports Reach $5.25 Million Data from GGII's "2017 China LED Filament Lamp Export Monthly Monitoring Report" shows that in April 2017, China's LED filament lamp exports totaled $5.25 million, with approximately 3.41 million units exported. Exports accounted for 93% of the top ten destinations, with 37% going to the United States. Among the top ten Chinese companies exporting LED filament lamps, the top enterprises accounted for 95% of the total. Zhejiang Kaiyao accounted for $2.97 million, or 57%, while Hangzhou Zhete Electronics exported $1.52 million, representing 29%. This highlights the concentration of LED filament lamp exports among leading firms. April LED Lighting Exports Increase by 45% Year-on-Year Data from GGII's "2016-2017 China LED Lighting Export Monthly Monitoring Report" indicates that in April 2017, China's LED lighting exports reached $1.81 billion, up 45% year-on-year, with export volumes reaching 1.37 billion units, up 27%. The top 20 destinations accounted for 75% of total exports, with the U.S. receiving 26% of exports. Among the top 20 exporters, Debang Lighting topped the list with exports of $40 million, up 8% from the previous month. Zhongpusen Technology (Zhuzhou) Co., Ltd. saw significant growth in export shares since 2017, averaging a 35% monthly increase. Taiwanese Manufacturers Accelerate Micro LED Patent Strategy Taiwanese manufacturers are capitalizing on the anticipated commercial boom of Micro LED technology. Industry experts are optimistic about key components like PCBs, with early R&D investments and patent strategies accelerating to drive smart home and 8K display innovations. Micro LED applications extend beyond mobile phones to include innovative smart home devices and high-definition displays. Companies are focusing on reducing production costs and speeding up commercialization. Besides Apple, Samsung, and Sony, Hon Hai Group is actively deploying the 8K ecosystem to boost profitability. Hon Hai's joint investment with Sharp in next-generation Micro LED technology offers vast possibilities for patents and applications. Notably, US startup eLux has mastered Micro LED technology. Hon Hai recently invested $10 million in eLux, demonstrating its commitment to the technology. Despite Sharp holding key patents, commercialization remains elusive due to the technology's growth potential over the next three to five years. Guoxing Optoelectronics Expands Production Capacity On the evening of [Date], Guoxing Optoelectronics approved the proposal to purchase production equipment for its expansion project. The total cost is RMB 44.496 million, aimed at meeting the needs of expanding packaged devices, increasing product scale, and maintaining its leadership in domestic LED packaging.
