In 2025, the bio-lighting industry will accelerate its development driven by both technological innovation and practical application. From cutting-edge research in laboratories to large-scale agricultural applications, and then to traditional greenhouse lighting and cross-industry innovative applications, the entire industry chain is showing a trend of breakthroughs and comprehensive development. In the core technology field, the research and development achievement of "luminescent succulents" by South China Agricultural University has attracted widespread attention in the industry. This world's first luminescent plant, after cultivation, can emit weak light in the dark, with a brightness equivalent to the light intensity of a candle one meter away, enough to distinguish facial details. A "luminescent plant wall" composed of 56 such plants has demonstrated diversified application potential such as landscape decoration, indoor lighting, and emergency lighting, opening up a new track for non-agricultural applications of bio-lighting technology. In agricultural applications, the precision of the "light formula" of LED lighting has become a research focus. Professor Li Jianhui of Shanxi Agricultural University pointed out that different biological species have significant differences in photosensitivity, and targeted spectral design can achieve precise control—for example, in non-cage-raised laying hen farming, adding warm white light spectrum with red light can effectively reduce pecking behavior; broadband light sources can improve poultry vision, further improving egg production rate and eggshell quality. In terms of application scope, bio-supplementary lighting technology has expanded from facility agriculture to more niche sectors. In plant factories, the "AI + supplementary lighting" model has achieved full-process control, completely eliminating reliance on natural light. In traditional planting, supplementary lighting technology has become key to solving seasonal light shortages. Lubao Cooperative, through a two-hour supplementary lighting solution in the morning and evening, significantly improved the appearance and taste of its strawberries, shortened the ripening period, and brought them to market earlier, thus gaining a competitive edge. From agricultural production to indoor landscaping, from livestock farming to emergency lighting, the application scope of bio-supplementary lighting technology continues to broaden, driving the industry into a new stage of diversified development.
