2. Recommendation logic: covid-19 pneumonia epidemic situation is improving, and there is a wide growth space in the future
1) the improvement of the epidemic situation drives the growth of downstream demand. Before the outbreak of covid-19, the performance and entertainment industry outside China maintained a stable growth trend. The outbreak of the epidemic has hit the performance and entertainment industry at home and abroad to a certain extent. With the improvement of the epidemic situation, the performance industry at home and abroad has warmed up in the past 21 years, driving the downstream demand growth of the stage lighting equipment industry.
2) the growth of China’s cultural and entertainment consumption demand drives the development of China’s stage lighting equipment industry. With the development of China’s national economy, the level of residents’ disposable income continues to grow rapidly, which is expected to lead to consumption upgrading and promote the growth of China’s cultural and entertainment consumption demand. With the continuous improvement of the epidemic situation in China, it is expected that there will be greater growth space for China’s entertainment consumption demand in the future, which will benefit the stage lighting equipment industry.
3) open the market through OBM and ODM modes. On the one hand, the company cooperates with internationally renowned professional stage lighting enterprises through ODM Sales Mode to explore overseas markets; On the other hand, through the acquisition of Arden, France, and the creation of its own brand “terbly”, the layout of OBM and the development of markets outside China.
