Plant lighting has become a new bright spot in the cross-border integration industry
The growth of all things is inseparable from light. In the process of plant growth, photosynthesis is a crucial link. Scientific research shows that in the process of photosynthesis of plants, plant lights can play a key role in regulating light quality.
Today, plant lights have also been expanded and applied to more fields by humans. From food production, fruit and vegetable cultivation, flower planting to medicinal plant cultivation, mosquito repellent and insect repellent and other fields, industrial application solutions with plant lights as the core technology are becoming more and more popular. The cross-border integration model of "lighting + agriculture", it also gave birth to a huge emerging market.
As the market demand continues to soar, in addition to the government and major research institutions focusing on the plant lighting technology industry, manufacturers and technology innovation companies in many fields have also begun to increase their industrial layout, and the investment and financing of various subdivided tracks continue to increase. The industry has officially entered a period of accelerated development.
Plant lighting can be precisely controlled and energy-saving and environmentally friendly
Fundamentally speaking, the extended application of plant lighting in agriculture and other fields is an innovative expansion of photosynthesis. Because in the seven-color light, plants mainly absorb red light and blue light for photosynthesis, and the remaining green light, yellow-orange light and other trace lights are mainly involved in other metabolic processes of plants. It is precisely because of the difference in light quality that in order to efficiently cultivate plants, plant lighting can further realize the efficient use of effective light sources through precise control of light intensity, photoperiod, spectral distribution, and light uniformity.
Compared with the traditional lighting mode, plant lighting not only optimizes the process of plant growth and development, but also can eliminate invalid light according to the different spectrums required by different plants at different growth stages, and precisely control the wavelength bands required for plant growth to improve plant photosynthesis efficiency. Fundamentally guarantee the yield and quality of plants. On this basis, plant lighting has outstanding advantages such as energy saving and environmental protection, so it has become a feasible solution for the development of high-quality agriculture.
From the perspective of product classification, plant lighting mainly includes four types: LED lamps, fluorescent lamps, high-pressure sodium lamps, incandescent lamps and halogen lamps, among which LED lamps are currently the mainstream products in the market. Based on semiconductor electric light source and intelligent control equipment, LED plant lighting can create the most suitable light environment for plant growth according to the law of light environment demand and production target requirements for plant growth, and truly realize high-quality, high-yield, and stable agricultural production, universities, ecology, safety. Due to the high lighting efficiency, low heat generation, small size and long life of LED plant lighting, coupled with the continuous upgrading of LED technology, its market penetration rate is also continuously increasing.
Compared with developed countries in Europe and the United States, my country's plant lighting industry started relatively late, but its development speed is amazing, and the application market is also continuing to expand. Especially in the past ten years, the industrial development has continued to accelerate. In addition to further consolidating its market position in the traditional agricultural field, it has achieved market breakthroughs in multiple fields such as facility horticulture, livestock and poultry breeding, and fishery plant protection. According to the data of GGII (High-tech Industry Research Institute), 2018-2020 is the peak period of the rapid increase in the output value of LED plant lighting systems in my country. Among them, the output value of my country's LED plant lighting system will reach 9.5 billion yuan in 2020, a year-on-year increase of 25%. In the past two years, the industry has maintained a high growth rate of more than 20%, and the market size has already exceeded 11 billion yuan.
Driven by the support of a series of favorable national policies, more and more local head enterprises have begun to increase the market layout of the plant lighting track, and the industrial chain from upstream chips to packaging devices to lamps and systems has basically taken shape . The industry authority predicts that the demand for LED plant lighting products and systems in my country is expected to rise to 149,000 sets this year.
