In 2015, the amount of mergers and acquisitions exceeded 10 billion yuan. Regardless of the form of mergers and acquisitions, they are part of the company's own development strategy and the needs of the company's survival and development. Even after the company has developed to a certain stage, it is indispensable for it to maintain continuous competitiveness as a market competitor. a part of.
In this context, the living space of small and medium-sized enterprises has been severely squeezed, and the pressure of survival has increased suddenly. Being controlled and merged has become an inescapable problem lying on the road of the development of these enterprises. Indeed, the current domestic LED electronic large screen industry has entered a new stage of in-depth adjustment. The barbaric growth, staking-style development, and profiteering business model have come to an end.
From incremental competition to stock competition, the initial extensive competition has gradually shifted to the competition of comprehensive strength represented by capital and technology, and the decisive factors of enterprise comprehensive strength and brand competition have been gradually strengthened. Through horizontal mergers and acquisitions, enterprises can bring economies of scale, increase the market share of enterprises, suppress competitors, increase entry barriers in the field of enterprises and differentiate advantages of enterprises, such as Unilumin's acquisition of Radio, Lanpu Technology; through vertical mergers and acquisitions It can expand the strongest LED industry chain, realize the in-depth integration and optimization of resources in all links of the industry chain, and improve the overall competitiveness of the enterprise. Diversify the company's main business risks and realize business transformation, such as Alto Electronics' acquisition of Qianbaihui and cross-border lighting; cross-border mergers and acquisitions can tap a larger market and profit space for enterprises, such as Leyard's acquisition of Planar Electronics and PLANAR in the United States.
