Key figures
- CN¥ 6.0 billion: online sales of eye-protection desk and floor lamps in 2025
- CN¥ 4.2 billion: desk lamps, 70.0% of those sales, at an average of CN¥ 133.0 per lamp
- CN¥ 1.8 billion: floor lamps, at an average of CN¥ 1,068.0 per lamp
- CN¥ 1.1 billion: sales in January to April 2026, 26.0% less than in the same months of 2025
Method and scope: observed online sales of lamps that the marketplaces list as eye-protection desk lamps and eye-protection floor lamps (护眼灯), on three of China's largest online marketplaces, in 2025, and in January to April 2026 against the same months of 2025, from Moojing Market Intelligence. "Eye protection" is the name of the category as the marketplaces list it, not a claim about what the lamps do. Eye-protection ceiling and pendant lamps, which only some marketplaces list separately, are not included. Growth is measured on January to April only, because one marketplace's lighting categories begin in February 2024. The same marketplace also recorded an unusually high May 2025 across all its lighting, which we could not confirm and which adds about 6% to the 2025 total. This is online sales only, not the total market.

Are China's online eye-protection lamp sales growing in 2026?#
No. Online sales of eye-protection desk and floor lamps on the three marketplaces in January to April 2026 were CN¥ 1.1 billion, 26.0% less than in the same months of 2025. The number of lamps sold fell 30.8%, while the average price rose from CN¥ 157.5 to CN¥ 168.4.

What does this mean for lamp brands in China?#
In January to April 2026 both desk and floor eye-protection lamps sold in smaller numbers on the three marketplaces than a year earlier, so the fall in sales came from fewer lamps sold, while average prices held or rose. Floor lamps made up 25.9% of sales in January to April 2026, against 27.4% in the same months of 2025, so they still accounted for about a quarter of the total.
Earlier editions#
This is the 2025 edition of our coverage of China's eye-protection lamp market. Earlier editions measured different periods and, in some cases, two marketplaces or a wider set of lamps, so their figures are not comparable with the ones above. They covered the eye-protection lamp market in 2023, what buyers said about eye-protection lamps in reviews in 2023, the gap between what brands said and what buyers wanted in 2023 and eye-protection lamps on social media in 2023. Others covered the social media conversation about lighting in 2023, how five brands advertised in Q4 2023 and health-focused home appliances in Q1 2023.
