According to the latest reports from GEP Research and Industry World, the global plant growth light market exceeded US$10 billion in 2025, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 15% from 2025 to 2030. Driven by both food security pressures and the rise of controlled-environment agriculture, the commercialization of emerging scenarios such as vertical farms and container farms is accelerating, becoming the core driver of market growth.
The industry is undergoing a structural transformation: procurement standards have evolved from simply pursuing luminous efficacy and cost to a comprehensive consideration of spectral programmability and intelligent energy management. Demand for high-value-added spectral lighting fixtures specifically designed for cash crops is surging, with a compound annual growth rate significantly exceeding the industry average, driving manufacturers to transform from equipment suppliers to solution providers. Technologically, the application rate of full-spectrum LEDs has reached 78%, the adoption rate of intelligent control systems has exceeded 45%, and some leading companies' products have achieved an internationally advanced luminous efficacy of 3.2 μmol/J.
On the policy front, many countries are updating energy efficiency standards and subsidy policies to accelerate the elimination of inefficient production capacity. Business models are also showing innovative breakthroughs, with operating models such as "light efficiency services" and "yield-based revenue sharing" being validated in large-scale planting projects. In the future, the deep integration of dynamic spectral control and AI algorithms will enable a leap from "lighting" to "light signal therapy," reshaping the modern agricultural production system.
