China LED plant lamp market in 2025: technological innovation and policy dividends build a new pattern of the industry

In 2025, China's LED plant lamp industry is expected to usher in a golden development period. According to the latest market report, the size of China's LED plant lamp market in 2020 is 10 billion yuan, and it is expected to exceed 20 billion yuan by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 15%. The global market is also bright, and the global LED plant lighting market is expected to reach 4.7 billion US dollars in 2025, of which China's market share accounts for more than 30%.

Core drivers of growth include:
1. Policy support: The national rural revitalization strategy and agricultural modernization policy are promoted, and the government encourages the application of LED plant lights in facility agriculture, vertical farms and other fields through financial subsidies and tax incentives.
2. Technological progress: Full-spectrum LED technology has become the mainstream (accounting for 45% of the market in 2025), which can simulate natural light and meet the needs of plant full-cycle growth; The intelligent control system integrates 5G and Internet of Things technology to achieve accurate dimming and remote monitoring.

3. Expansion of market demand: accelerated urbanization has LED to a reduction in cultivated land, a surge in demand for indoor planting, home gardening and plant factories, and a significant increase in the application coverage of LED plant lights in vegetables, flowers, medicinal plants and other fields.

Regional market and industrial chain layout
China's LED plant lamp market presents an "East strong west" pattern:
The eastern coastal areas (Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu) dominate with a sound industrial chain and mature technology.
Driven by the Belt and Road Initiative, the central and western regions have seen increased investment in agricultural modernization and gradually released their market potential.

In terms of the industrial chain, upstream chip manufacturing forms a synergistic effect with the integration of middle and downstream systems. Leading enterprises such as Shenzhen Huayang and Okert occupy a dominant position in the market through technology research and development and brand building, and the market share of the top ten enterprises exceeds 50%.

Product innovation and application expansion
In 2025, LED plant light products show three major trends:
1. Spectrum refinement: customized spectrum for different crop needs, such as red light to promote flowering and fruit, blue light to enhance disease resistance, UV light for sterilization.
2. Intelligent upgrade: The Internet of Things technology realizes the automatic adjustment of lighting, temperature and humidity parameters, and the newly launched intelligent lamps can improve the planting efficiency by 30%.
3. Green energy saving: low-power products have become the mainstream, and energy consumption is reduced by 40% and life is extended by optimizing chip design.

Application areas extend from traditional agriculture to emerging scenarios:
Plant factory: The global market size is expected to exceed 100 billion yuan, China accounts for more than 30%, LED lights play a key role in multi-layer three-dimensional planting.
Medical and space agriculture: LED plant lights are used for medicinal plant cultivation and space station crop experiments, becoming a new growth point for the industry.


Challenges and future prospects

Despite the promising prospects, the industry still faces cost pressures, technology dependence on imports and homogeneous competition. Experts suggest that enterprises strengthen research and development investment, such as a company through the development of new chips to increase light efficiency by 30%.

In the future, the industry will accelerate the integration, large enterprises through industrial chain mergers and acquisitions to enhance competitiveness, small and medium-sized enterprises focus on market segments (such as home gardening lighting). In addition, environmental standards and carbon neutral targets promote the industry's transformation to a circular economy, and green certified products are more favored by the market.

In 2025, China's LED plant lamp industry is moving from "high-speed growth" to "high-quality development" under the multiple drive of policy, technology and demand. As the global wave of agricultural intelligence advances, China is expected to become the innovation center and the core of the global supply chain in this field.
