ZHONGSHAN, October 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The 33rd Guzhen Lighting Expo will be held at the Guzhen Convention and Exhibition Center in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, from October 22 to 25, 2025. As a bellwether for the global lighting industry, this expo, themed "Guzhen Lights Up the World," will connect Guzhen's eight major lighting cities and bring together over 3,600 high-quality companies across a total exhibition area exceeding 1.5 million square meters.
The main venue's eight exhibition halls cover the entire industry chain, encompassing decorative lighting, smart home lighting, residential lighting, commercial lighting, outdoor lighting, specialty lighting, machinery and equipment, and accessories. Tens of thousands of specialized, sophisticated, unique, and innovative products will be showcased, showcasing cutting-edge technologies. With the unveiling of new products from across the industry chain, industry trends are becoming increasingly clear: from the "dual-engine" technological revolution to the upgrading of aesthetics in everyday settings, four major trends are redefining the boundaries and value of light.
Trend 1: Comprehensive Product Category Layout, Seizing the Commanding Heights of the Industry Ecosystem
The expo aligns with the industry trend of "optimizing the supply chain and cultivating high-quality new productivity," focusing on popular lighting categories, from LED chip packaging to smart lighting applications, highlighting the Guzhen Lighting Expo's strengths as a "global sourcing platform."
The main venue will showcase the extended product lines of well-known home and commercial lighting brands, highlighting health-themed products such as dynamic rhythm lamps, solar spectrum lamps, and soothing sleep lamps. New product lines in emerging areas such as aviation lighting and sports lighting will also be introduced to global buyers, demonstrating the determination and ability of local brands to transform from traditional lighting to high-tech. The Guzhen Lighting Expo highlights the industry's shift from "cost competition" to "intelligent value creation," with a greater emphasis on technology integration and ecosystem development.
Trend 2: Dual-Engine Drive, with "AI + New Energy" taking center stage.
Under the "double-low" goal, the deep integration of new energy lighting and AI intelligence will be a highlight of the expo. Visitors can immerse themselves in the low-carbon, green landscape of photovoltaics, energy storage, and intelligent control.
Organizers have selected high-quality brands in the "blue ocean" category with great potential and launched two upgraded sections:
Smart Fisheries – High-power LED fish-attracting lights and marine lighting solutions, equipped with an AI big data system, automatically switch between cyan, blue, and green bio-spectrums based on fish activity, improving catch efficiency in real time.
Zero-Carbon Landscape – Solar streetlights, decorative lights, and garden lights featuring integrated "light energy recycling + efficient charging" technology will be showcased at the main venue for safer and more reliable applications in multiple scenarios.
Trend Three: Original Design Meets New Materials, Defining New Standards for Artistic Lighting
Personalized consumption and the use of environmentally friendly materials are driving artistic lighting towards a more "emotional" direction. The Guzhen Lighting Expo embraces this trend, building a strong differentiation barrier through functional innovation, making aesthetic expression the brand's strongest moat.
In response to the strong demand for artistic lighting in Europe, the US, and the Belt and Road region, the lighting sector focused on three major styles: affordable luxury, Nordic, and modern. With comprehensive material upgrades, including aircraft-grade aluminum with nano-coating technology, all-copper construction, and hand-blown glass, the lighting sector is targeting the mid-to-high-end overseas market and has secured strong orders.
Trend 4: New Application Scenarios: LED Light Strips Become a Focus of Spatial Aesthetics
LED light strip exhibitors have long been enablers of spatial art. At this exhibition, brands expanded from basic lighting to a more comprehensive range of "lighting effects + functions + scenarios," embracing trends such as minimalism, no-main-light design, and full-color ambiance, driving the diversification and scenario-based application of LED light strips.
Three highlights previewed on-site:
1. Silicone + 3D Shape Flexible Strips - Bendable, twistable, and cuttable, they are ideal for art installations and commercial window displays, creating an instant visual impact.
2. Expandable, Multi-Color Low-Voltage Strips - Equipped with dual solar and USB-C charging capabilities, they are ideal for camping, emergencies, and car trunks – all you need is one strip.
3. COB Smart Light Strips - Human-sensing rhythmic dimming, with real-time adaptive brightness and color temperature, suitable for supermarkets, hotels, homes, and other venues.
Lights illuminate the world. The 33rd Guzhen International Lighting Expo is not only a grand event for products and technologies, but also showcases a clear path for the transformation and upgrading of China's lighting industry. Leading companies are building technological barriers, winning global orders with zero-carbon standards and comprehensive solutions, while small and medium-sized enterprises are deeply cultivating niche markets, becoming "hidden champions." The entire industry is accelerating its progress towards intelligent, green, and branded development.
