The LED horticulture market is projected to grow at a CAGR of XX.XX% to reach US$XX.XXX billion by 2023, from US$XX.XXX billion in 2017.As per horticulture research, radiation at some relatively narrow spectral bands drives photosynthesis process by optimising chlorophyll absorption. As scientists continue to match monochromatic spectrum to different plants and stages of growth, LED manufactures are tapping into the rapidly growing horticulture lighting market. Use of LEDs to grow herbs, fruits, vegetables and flowers is a smart choice as it leads to energy and water saving and greater productivity. Rising global population and shrinking available farmland is driving the market growth. Use of LEDs is also establishing itself as a greener alternative to traditional farming methods.
