According to the data, the scale of China’s health lighting market will reach 1.85 billion yuan in 2020, and it is estimated that the scale of China’s health lighting market will reach 17.2 billion yuan by 2023.
The concept of health lighting is more and more accepted by people, among which medical lighting, clean room lighting and other LED purification lighting are the earliest pioneers in the health lighting industry, and now occupy an important position in the field of health lighting.
Classroom lighting is one of the main application fields of health lighting. Affected by the policy, the classroom lighting transformation of primary and secondary schools in China must use products that meet the health lighting standards.
Relevant data show that there are more than 520000 schools in China, including 210000 schools in the stage of compulsory education and 3.75 million classes. But at present, there are many problems in primary and secondary school classrooms, such as lack of overall design, low illumination, serious stroboscopic, glare pollution, color distortion and so on.
In view of the above problems, LED lighting enterprises have launched health lighting related products. However, from the perspective of technology application, some enterprises only focus on the application of health lighting, mainly controlling glare, light and dark transition and other effects. And these can also be achieved through traditional lighting, it seems that health lighting just strengthens the concept.
The relevant person in charge of Guoxing optoelectronics also pointed out that “the health lighting industry has no clear direction to guide. It has always been in a state of pain for users and confusion for enterprises, and most parties in the industry are in a state of making cars behind closed doors.”
It is understood that leading companies including Sanxiong Aurora, Rex lighting and Foshan Lighting have been widely distributed in the health lighting market including education lighting in recent two years. They have closely combined intelligence with health lighting and launched smart campus lighting solutions.
As a high margin market segment in the lighting field, plant lighting has developed rapidly in recent two years, and has become a highlight of the lighting industry, mainly reflected in the rapid growth of export market, continuous improvement of standards and specifications, continuous improvement of enterprise investment, and continuous expansion of application scenarios.
In particular, driven by the legalization of big business in North America, the shortage of food and drug supply caused by the global epidemic and the increase of home isolation, the export volume of plant lighting products will increase greatly in 2020. While several leading manufacturers have doubled their performance, there will be more new players pouring in.
It is worth noting that plant lighting, as a multidisciplinary integrated system integration project, needs to solve the problems of organic integration of plant photobiology, lighting technology and light environment control, which has a high technical threshold.
In the lighting industry, there is a common idea that “light is more important than plant”. In fact, the frontier systematic research of plant itself is the core element. The relevant manufacturers should not only solve the spectral distribution, photosynthetic intensity, light cycle, uniform illumination and other problems needed by plant growth, but also solve the problems of product itself, such as efficiency, cost and reliability.
Generally speaking, the field of LED plant lighting in China is still in the primary stage of development. Most enterprises are still in the stage of wait-and-see or water trial for LED plant lighting. Few enterprises take led plant lighting as their main product, but they only do small-scale pilot production and demonstration projects, let alone invest a lot in core technology and downstream sales channel construction, The product development direction and market planning are not clear.
However, the high efficiency and energy saving characteristics of LED plant lighting represent the development direction of green agricultural lighting in the future, which is very extensive in the field of planting, and has been strongly supported by the agricultural sector in China.
GGII statistics show that in 2020, the output value of China’s LED plant lighting system will reach about 9.5 billion yuan, and the output value of plant lighting lamps will reach about 2.8 billion yuan.
From the data, including intelligent lighting, health lighting, plant lighting and other high margin market segments will maintain rapid growth in the next few years. But to eat this cake is not easy for lighting enterprises. The change of the whole market trend, the matching of the upstream, middle and downstream industrial chain, the breakthrough of technology and product R & D are the key factors restricting the enterprises to subdivide the blue ocean.
