At the end of August, rows of plant grow lights underwent final testing on automated production lines at the workshop of Anhui Golden Scorpion Bio-Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. Inspected and cleared by officers of Ma'anshan Customs under Hefei Customs, this batch of plant grow lights worth 3.2342 million yuan is set to be shipped to the Netherlands for local protected agriculture projects.

Plant grow lights may sound like a niche product, yet they serve as indispensable agricultural infrastructure in regions with insufficient natural sunlight.

A relevant executive of the company explained that the sustained development of low-carbon and protected agriculture worldwide has driven steady growth in demand for plant lighting equipment. “Over 90 percent of our products are sold overseas, and we have entered high-standard markets including the Netherlands, Canada and Russia.”

“In recent years, market demand for supplementary lighting systems has moved beyond simply boosting brightness, shifting toward precise spectra, dynamic regulation and low-energy operation,” the executive stated. “We keep pursuing technological innovation to meet overseas market demands to the fullest.” According to the 2025 Independent Market Research Report on the Global Plant Grow Light Equipment Industry released by Sullivan in 2026, the company ranks second globally and first among Chinese manufacturers of plant grow light equipment, securing its position among the world’s leading enterprises in this sector.

While plant grow lights are winning popularity abroad, domestic saunas are also well-received on the international market.

“We now offer three series of saunas with steady order volumes, exporting more than 2,500 units overseas on average every month.” On September 2, three standard production lines were running at full capacity in the workshop of Anhui VHealth Technology Co., Ltd., where workers skillfully assembled panels and debugged temperature control systems. Xu Lin, General Manager of the company, noted: “In recent years, overseas consumers have seen surging demand for home-based health and relaxation management. With private and convenient home SPA experiences, domestic saunas have become a popular option for stress relief and post-workout recovery.”

Huangshan Jinzhili Technology Co., Ltd. is also operating at full steam. “We mainly produce acrylic resin, polyester resin, alkyd resin and other products widely used in aviation, automotive, plastic and other sectors,” said Hong Wenwei, the company’s executive. “Driven by the global environmental trend, we have accelerated R&D of new products and processes to enhance the performance of resins and coatings, so as to continuously satisfy customer needs. In the first seven months of this year, our foreign trade exports exceeded 7 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 41%.”

Behind the booming global orders for these “Made in Anhui” products lies enterprises’ continuous efforts to engage directly with overseas markets, gain insights into consumption habits and usage scenarios, and shift from passive order-taking to proactive demand discovery.

“We regularly gather feedback from international clients at global industry exhibitions, aligning product R&D with the real needs of overseas consumers from the very start,” said an executive of Anhui Golden Scorpion Bio-Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. In the fast-changing global marketplace, those who better understand demands, respond faster and innovate more effectively stand a better chance of capturing a larger market share.
