      A Market with \u201cAstronomical\u201d Growth<\/h3>\n

      Potential to provide up to 50% of city residents food<\/h5>\n

      Industry experts predict that LEDs for horticulture applications will experience dramatic growth, with unit sales expected to increase at an astounding 83.3% compound annual growth rate between 2015 and 2020.1<\/sup> Fueling this expansion is the fact that the economics of LEDs now make sound fiscal sense for growers, and will increasingly become the only practical solution for large-scale deployments.<\/p>\n
