Global LED plant lighting factory output annual growth rate of 60%

The problem of global warming is getting worse and the problem of food shortage is getting worse. Therefore, in recent years, LED light source has been used in plant food cultivation, and the establishment of plant factories has become a trend. Fan Huairen, an industrial analyst of the Optoelectronics Association, pointed out that LED plant factory lighting annual output value growth The rate is up to 62, and Taiwanese factories including Yiguang (2393-TW), New Century (3383-TW), Jingdian (2448-TW) and Yuyuan (3061-TW) are all cut into the field of plant lighting in different fields, however, due to Taiwan's agricultural development has a certain foundation, coupled with the small domestic demand market, which has limited the development of Taiwan's plant factories. It is suggested that it can be oriented towards the production of high-yield crops and enhance the competitiveness of the plant lighting industry. Plant factory refers to fully enclosed, artificially controlled lighting, temperature, humidity to cultivate crop growth, in addition to reducing water loss, but also through artificial LED lighting and air conditioning to achieve energy-saving effects, currently Japan is quite active in lighting factory development, According to statistics, as of the end of March 2011, there were 16 semi-manual lighting factories in Japan and 64 in full lighting. Fan Huairen, an industry analyst at the Optoelectronics Association, pointed out that LED agricultural lighting has significant energy-saving effects. According to statistics, in the fluorescent plant plant, the lighting energy consumption is as high as 82, but if LED is used instead of traditional lighting, energy consumption can be reduced. Domestic Taiwanese factories have also entered the field of plant lighting applications. For example, in 2011, Yiguang signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Philips, Japan's Mitsubishi Chemical and other international companies to develop LED special lighting applications. However, due to the small domestic demand market in Taiwan, the development of unfavorable biotechnology companies, the lack of improvement in the R&D and production management regulations of agricultural biotechnology, and the low human resources for Taiwan’s biotech and agricultural R&D, the Taiwan plant lighting market Without a big leap forward, Fan Huairen suggested that in addition to the government's active support, the country should use the advantages of the original species and the transshipment hub in Southeast Asia to develop high-living products, including vegetables, orchids, Chinese herbal medicines, etc. Into the mainland market, while using high-tech technologies such as semiconductors to accelerate and improve the production process.
