The Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta are the most concentrated areas of the domestic LED industry. The upper, middle, and lower reaches of the industry chain are relatively complete, and more than 80% of China’s related enterprises are concentrated. They are also the fastest-growing areas in China’s domestic LED industry. The comprehensive advantages of the industry are relatively obvious. Suppliers of LED-related equipment and raw materials have settled in these two regions.
So next I will compare several dimensions to illustrate the respective advantages of the Yangtze River Delta VS the Pearl River Delta:
1. Policy Planning
Driven by the “National Semiconductor Lighting Project”, seven national semiconductor lighting project industrialization bases have been formed in Shanghai, Dalian, Nanchang, Xiamen, Shenzhen, Yangzhou and Shijiazhuang.
2. Key cities
As the leader of the domestic LED industry, the Pearl River Delta region is currently the largest LED industry gathering area in China:
Xiamen: High-end bulb & LED chip packaging.
Shenzhen: R&D and design field.
Zhongshan: decorative lighting, mostly in the low-end, with price advantage.
Dongguan/Jiangmen/Foshan: Metal shell of lamps.
The LED lighting industry in the Yangtze River Delta:
Jiangsu: Outdoor landscape lighting & road lighting.
Ningbo: Explosion-proof lamps & special lighting.
3. Comprehensive evaluation
In general, the Pearl River Delta region has a great competitive advantage in the national LED lighting industry. Early start time, rich development experience, and leading innovation in policy planning, are conducive to the long-term development of the LED lighting industry.
The LED lighting industry in the Pearl River Delta is concentrated and has a cluster advantage. In terms of industrial chain, the LED industry chain of many cities in the Pearl River Delta has developed well, and the comprehensive strength of the LED lighting industry leads the Yangtze River Delta.
