Sales channels in the lighting industry are undergoing profound transformation. Traditional brick-and-mortar building‑materials markets have seen a sharp decline in foot traffic, while emerging channels—such as whole‑home smart solutions, cross‑border e‑commerce, and online‑offline integration—are rapidly gaining ground, reshaping the industry’s sales landscape. The strength of conventional offline channels lies in in‑store product experiences and face‑to‑face service; however, they grapple with high rental costs, limited geographic reach, and severe product homogenization, making it difficult to meet consumers’ increasingly diverse and personalized needs.
The development of emerging channels exhibits distinct segmentation trends: whole‑home smart‑home channels, by integrating with interior design and smart‑home systems, offer end‑to‑end lighting solutions that are particularly favored by mid‑ to high‑end consumers; cross‑border e‑commerce channels have broken down geographic barriers, enabling direct access to global customers while enhancing logistics efficiency and service quality through overseas warehouses and localized operations; and omnichannel platforms combine the convenience of online price comparisons with the tangible in‑store experience, allowing consumers to explore product information and schedule trials online, while physical stores provide installation, commissioning, after‑sales support, and other services, thus closing the entire consumer loop. Behind these channel transformations lie shifting consumer preferences and intensifying industry competition—moving from mere product purchases to demand for holistic solutions, and from price‑sensitive buying to value‑driven consumption. The diversification and professionalization of distribution channels have become an inevitable trend in industry evolution, driving a shift from price‑driven price wars toward value‑based competition.
