Due to the pandemic, uncertain consumer demand and supply chain problems have affected the horticulture lighting industry in the region.

The pandemic has a severe impact on the LED industry since the supply chain is mostly located in this region and production majorly comes from China. The governments are taking drastic measures to reduce the effects of coronavirus outbreak by announcing lockdowns as well as travel and trade bans. All these measures are expected to have a negative impact on the adoption and growth of horticulture lighting in 2020 and 2021.

Based on cultivation, the fruits and vegetables segment led the APAC horticulture lighting market in 2019. The dominance of this segment is mainly ascribed to the significantly greater use of artificial light for growing vegetables and fruits than that in the cultivation of flowers. According to the APAC-based Department of Agriculture, in 2019, there was a rise in the production of apples, grapes, and pears, than that in 2018, in APAC region. This is anticipated to contribute toward the greater use of horticulture lighting in the cultivation of fruits and vegetables. The climate variations in APAC countries, such as Australia and India, hamper agriculture, which compels them to import fresh vegetables and fruits from neighboring regions. The indoor and vertical farming techniques allow these countries to produce fruits and vegetables in a controlled environment. The fruits and vegetables segment is expected to dominate the market in the APAC region during the forecast period.
