With the iterative advancement of full-spectrum, new energy, AI artificial intelligence technologies and their integration into the lighting industry, three hot sectors—healthy lighting, smart lighting, and automotive lighting —are poised to unlock greater development opportunities and market potential in the coming years.
Health Lighting: Full-Spectrum and Human-Centric Technologies Becoming Mainstream
Post-pandemic, consumers prioritize lighting solutions that enhance physical and mental well-being. The concept of light health encompasses a diverse range of technologies within healthy lighting. Under the demands for “naturalness, experience, and eye protection,” full-spectrum technology and human-centric lighting systems undoubtedly hold central positions in lighting. Reflecting on 2024 and looking ahead to 2025, whether at major industry exhibitions or in promotional materials for new product launches by manufacturing enterprises, the banners of “healthy light” and “human-centric lighting” are prominently displayed. These not only attract exhibitors and customers but also provide broader avenues for brand enhancement.
Today, high-quality full-spectrum light sources integrated with AI systems deliver rich color rendering across visible wavelengths, restoring objects’ natural hues while enabling scenario-specific customization. Applications span healthcare facilities, rehabilitation centers, leisure venues, libraries, schools, and professional sports arenas, where such lighting can regulate emotions, enhance focus, and adapt to diverse environmental needs. Additionally, industry experts predict that “golden light” and biomimetic lighting technologies—extensions of healthy light environments—will see significant breakthroughs by 2025.
Automotive Lighting : Enhancing Dynamic Human-Vehicle Interaction Technologies
Amid the rapid evolution of electrified and digitized vehicles, smart cabins—the interactive space between humans and cars—are undergoing transformative upgrades, with ambient lighting emerging as a focal point. Coupled with innovations in functional vehicle lighting, the automotive light display sector is expected to embrace multi-modal interaction and cross-industry integration by 2025.
Industry forecasts suggest that smart cabins will evolve beyond traditional electronic upgrades, incorporating advanced AI and IoT to become personalized, immersive mobile living or office spaces. Over the next 1–2 years, automotive light displays are anticipated to achieve higher-tier intelligent interactions, integrating touch, voice, and gesture controls for multi-dimensional engagement among drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. In 2024, China’s automotive lighting products gained global traction, with exports reaching approximately $4.5 billion (an 11% year-on-year increase), accounting for 8% of the lighting industry’s total exports—a 1 percentage point rise from 2023.
Smart Lighting: Automation Meets Energy Efficiency
Smart lighting focuses on automated control through technologies like sensors and IoT, emphasizing convenience and energy conservation. It is set for widespread adoption in smart homes and commercial spaces. Systems integrating IoT, AI, and 5G are projected to capture over 30% of the global market.
By 2025, the lighting industry will exhibit unprecedented innovation vitality under the digital transformation wave. Companies must accelerate product upgrades, explore new channels, and respond agilely to market shifts, seeking breakthrough opportunities in this critical phase of evolution.
