Who is the strongest promoter? LED indoor agricultural market will grow 10 times

LED lighting systems from Swedish suppliers are benefiting from the gradual legalization of cannabis in the United states.

Heliospectra, a Swedish company is small, LED system, specializing in indoor plants, said recently that its sales more than doubled last year, due to the extremely strong demand, because the United States marijuana growers become by the technology of the new customers.

The Heliospectra system uses a combination of different types of LED designed specifically for plant growth. The Swedish company is experiencing growing demand from the United States, thanks in large part to the recent expansion of marijuana laws in national law.

The company is headquartered in Goteborg has just released the first half of 2015 financial results, revenues of approximately $640 thousand, an increase of nearly 113% over last year. Heliospectra has also recently attracted $3 million in private investment from the United States to expand marijuana growers, and is expected to continue to grow with the recent breakthrough in some U.S. orders.

This is a direct result of the change of state laws in the United states.

This week, the United States has a cannabis Conference & Expo in California Prefecture of San Diego, Heliospectra shows a series of LED devices, each system has more than and 100 LED, can provide the required light intensity and wavelength of emission control for growers, makes it possible to create optimized spectrum to different plant species required.

Energy is a significant cost of indoor planting, and LED lighting system all the lamps compared to traditional lighting technology consumes less electric energy based on Heliospectra as the plant science laboratory University of Cambridge claimed that the agency is the largest unit power consumption. But this is not LED for the best part of cultivation, crop absorption efficiency of the best interval is different, can be selected specifically for the crop absorption spectrum of LED, let the light conversion for crop growth, to cultivate special flavor. According to market research firm WinterGreen Research predicts that LED will be used for indoor agriculture market, from $395 million in 2013, to 2020 to grow to $3 billion 600 million, up nearly 10 times, and what kind of crops can promote such a large growth rate? Of course it's marijuana.

Hillberg believes that the U.S. market for medical use of marijuana in 2017 will be more than $10 billion, about 7 times in 2013. Today, 23 countries have approved the cultivation of marijuana for medical purposes, as some other countries are also submitted for approval of the bill, such as Germany, Britain and Australia, etc..

Driven by the cannabis pioneers, the technology of indoor planting is growing rapidly, and perhaps one day when we enjoy indoor grown crops, we have to thank the hemp industry as a key enabler.
