Plant lighting is a key solution to promote the high-quality development of agriculture

From the perspective of industrial application prospects, plant lighting is widely used in many fields related to plants. In addition to traditional plant tissue culture, leaf vegetable production, greenhouse lighting, and flower planting, in recent years, with the increasing cross-border efforts of "lighting + agriculture", plant lighting has been used in algae cultivation, plant protection, space fruits and vegetables. It has also been used in many fields such as repelling and killing mosquitoes, and its market prospects are immeasurable.

Especially as the global food crisis becomes more and more prominent, plant lighting has become an important part of ensuring food security. Because traditional agriculture is affected by climate, soil pollution and other factors, the yield and quality of crops are seriously threatened. The combination of plant lighting light control technology and a series of agricultural intelligent technologies can ensure the safety and stability of the plant growth environment, and play a hard-core protection role in achieving annual continuity, intensive and efficient production of high-quality, pollution-free crops.

At the policy level, as the scale of the industry continues to expand, the standardization of the plant lighting industry is also advancing. As early as 2019, my country established a plant lighting consulting group. The IEC standard planning work related to plant lighting is advancing at full speed under the leadership of the National Electric Light Source Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, which is of great significance to the sustainable development of the plant lighting industry. As plant lighting provides technical reserves for large-scale food production in future plant factories, my country also regards it as a key industry leading the future agricultural revolution, and more and more supporting policies are being released intensively.

On the market side, in addition to the core technology, the factors restricting the development of the plant lighting industry cannot be ignored. In recent years, as the industry has become more and more mature, the results of cost reduction and efficiency improvement of related products have become more and more significant. The data shows that the average price of LED plant lighting systems in 2022 will be 80,200 yuan/set, and the average market price of LED plant lighting lamps will be 6,500 yuan/set. And this year, the average price has dropped to 70,000 yuan/set and 6,300 yuan/set respectively, which has brought new impetus to the further improvement of market penetration. Relevant agencies predict that by 2024, the size of the plant lighting equipment market alone will reach 5.7 billion US dollars.
