China LED grow lighting market is limited
With the rapid growth of LED grow light market, Philips, Osram, Seoul Semiconductor, Taiwan Everlight LED lighting manufacturers have cut into the field of development of plants, in order to open up a new LED application market. Future with the continuous improvement of LED lighting technology, as well as product prices decline further, LED grow lights is bound to become a quality agriculture and greenhouse agriculture standard equipment for farmers and lead to higher economic efficiency, lower risk of production advantages, thus boosting LED lighting industry.
From the current global market, LED grow lights sales market mainly in Japan, Korea, Europe and other persons engaged in agriculture fewer countries and regions. In these areas, LED grow lights are widely used, has become the standard plant lighting plant, allowing the plant to become like planting the same year-round schedule.
Currently, a higher degree LED grow lighting market overseas plants developed regions, on the one hand, governments have the LED agricultural lighting applications as an important direction of development, and strengthening agricultural institutions and other institutions to deepen the study of LED lighting technology; the other hand, that people in developed countries in Europe and America to accept the relatively high degree of scientific knowledge, can quickly promote the development of plant lighting market.
By comparison, Chinese market, China's LED lighting market model plant enterprise and Academy of Agricultural Sciences as a research and development unit, the terminal market is the Academy or some government agency, that the market is very limited. See, for Chinese enterprises, especially LED enterprises are concerned, in order to rely on plant LED lighting made considerable gains still a long way to go.
On the consumer side, the current output of the plant factory product price is too high, and some even priced in grams, so currently only suitable for growing high value-added crops. Also, there are experts said that currently rely on lighting plants soilless cultivation of the produced crops on health and safety issues if there is still inconclusive.
On the other hand, LED lighting plant involving multiple disciplines, including semiconductors, spectroscopy, biology, etc., have a certain technical threshold, and proficient personnel in the field are hard to find, a new influx of persons in order to enter the corresponding channel also difficult. In addition, the lighting of the plant is a large market segment, LED lighting plants can be said segment breakdown, to grab the meat with the traditional fluorescent lamp, so that one-time investment of customers increased, how many people buy it is hard to say.
All in all, China LED lighting plant is in its infancy. China LED lighting plant development is full of opportunities and pitfalls, LED companies need to break the shackles of costs radically, to jointly promote the lighting plant in China's commercial.
