In 2025, driven by both policy standardization and market demand, the bio-lighting industry showed a positive trend of high-quality development. The gradual implementation of national standards and the continued support of local subsidy policies laid the institutional foundation for the industry's development, while the actual needs of improving the quality and efficiency of agricultural production provided a broad market space for technology promotion.
At the policy level, the implementation and promotion of three core national standards have become crucial for the standardized development of the industry. The "Terminology for Plant Lighting" (GB/T 44941-2024), implemented in November 2024, established a unified communication benchmark for the industry. The "Performance Specifications for LED Lamps, LED Fixtures and LED Modules for Plant Lighting" (GB/T 44473-2024), scheduled for implementation in June 2025, clarifies core product indicators and test methods. The "Technical Specifications for Lighting Environment of Artificial Light Plant Factories" (GB/T 45177-2024), implemented in July, focuses on technical requirements for application scenarios. These three standards constitute a complete regulatory system. Meanwhile, the national "Two New" policy has expanded its support scope to include the upgrading and transformation of facility agriculture. Localities such as Dalian Jinpu New Area have lowered the application threshold for biological supplemental lighting technology through equipment purchase subsidies, and policy dividends continue to be released.
On the demand side, the upgrading of facility agriculture and the need to ensure food security are driving the accelerated penetration of biological supplemental lighting technology. In large-scale planting bases, supplemental lighting systems have become core equipment for improving crop yield and quality—supplemental lighting during the seedling stage enhances seedling resistance and reduces disease losses; despite the higher cost of seedling cultivation, it remains popular among growers. In resource-constrained areas, supplemental lighting technology is combined with integrated water and fertilizer equipment to achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement in agricultural production. Industry data shows that the domestic market size for biological supplemental lighting equipment will grow by more than 30% year-on-year in 2025, with particularly significant growth in demand from plant factories, intelligent greenhouses, and livestock and poultry farming. The dual drivers of policy and market are propelling the industry into a golden age of development.
