Cold chain refers to certain food raw materials, processed foods or semi-finished products, special biological products and pharmaceuticals. After being purchased, processed and inactivated, during the processing, storage, transportation, distribution, retail and use of products, All links are always in the specific low temperature environment necessary for the product, reducing the loss, preventing pollution and deterioration, to ensure the product supply safety, bio-safety, drug safety special supply chain system. A complete cold chain contains four links of product processing, storage, transportation and sales. With the rising living standards of our residents, the demand for cold chain foods has greatly increased, and the future development of the cold chain industry is promising.
The cold chain industry involves a variety of cold chain equipment terminals, which are typically used in supermarkets, shopping malls, convenience stores, and have special requirements for lighting. Its function is not only lighting, but also has the function of decoration. It increases the illumination through lighting. It seems that the chilled products in the freezer are very clean, increasing the customer's desire to purchase, attracting customers to buy more products and increase sales.
In addition, refrigerated lighting also has a requirement for heat generation in lighting fixtures. The refrigerating/freezing environment requires that the calorific value of the lamp should not be too high. The traditional incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp, energy-saving lamp and other products have high calorific value, and the air compressor will increase the power, which is easy to blow up and damage, short life and frequent replacement. It is not suitable for use in this environment. At the same time, if the luminaire is blown up, the pollutants leaking inside the luminaire will cause pollution to the food, causing food safety hazards. Therefore, LED lighting has become a more appropriate choice.
According to the statistics of OFweek Industry Research Institute, the global commercial refrigeration/freezer display cabinet market has nearly 16 million units in 2017. It is estimated that by 2022, the global commercial refrigeration/freezer display cabinet will reach 19.7 million units. For China, the main favorable factors of the cold chain industry are: national policy promotion, urbanization construction, people's demand for food safety, and changes in consumption structure. Under the promotion of these favorable factors, the future development of food cold chain logistics industry can be At the same time, commercial refrigerators are expected to cooperate with the cold chain logistics industry and develop rapidly. It is expected that the commercial refrigerator market in China will maintain double-digit growth in the future.
Global and China commercial refrigerated / frozen display cabinet market demand scale and forecast (unit: 10,000 units)
However, from the current application market, refrigerator/freezer lighting fixtures or traditional lamps (such as fluorescent lamps) account for a large proportion, LED penetration is not high, OFweek industry analysts believe that LED lighting with its high light efficiency, energy saving The advantages of environmental protection, longevity and high color rendering will be the ideal product to replace fluorescent tubes in the future. The LED refrigerator has low illumination penetration. The reason is not only affected by the price factor, but also the user's cognitive factors. Users generally think that as long as the lighting effect is achieved, no more factors are considered.
According to the statistics of OFweek Industry Research Institute, the global LED refrigerator cabinet lighting market sales revenue in 2017 is about 520 million US dollars, of which, China's regional revenue exceeded 100 million US dollars, accounting for about 20% of the global total. According to OFweek industry analysts, compared with other LED lighting segments, although the overall market capacity of LED refrigerated cabinet lighting is still small, it is believed that with the continuous increase of LED penetration rate in refrigerated cabinet lighting, the cold chain logistics industry will be The annual compound growth rate is close to 20%.) The rapid development of Dongfeng, its market capacity will continue to grow and develop.
