The global lighting market size was USD 118.33 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 163.72 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period.
Light plays an important role in every sector. The applications of light in activities such as interior designing, photography, and other uses are rising with the increase in population. Numerous scientists have indicated the usage of LEDs in growing plants through practical evidence. Demand for LED light plays an important role in plant growth and development, as it converts electricity into light by using the properties of metals, thereby delivering white light.
Governments in several countries across the world are focusing on implementing regulations on energy efficient products. According to the European Commission, lighting accounts for 15% - 18% of electricity consumption, globally. Furthermore, over the past few decades, the industry has witnessed the integration of concepts such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT). The use of these concepts has allowed light manufacturing companies to develop innovative products.
The demand has risen in developing countries owing to the increasing population, climate change, and resource scarcity. Governments in developing countries such as India and China are focused on developing new houses for homeless people, which, in turn, is driving the lighting market growth in the region. Moreover, companies in this sector are more inclined towards producing and selling lights (LEDs and CFLs) at minimum rates, so that people can afford and use it for a long period.
Instant Shutdown in Manufacturing Units due to Covid-19 has Impacted the Growth of the Commercial Sector
The Covid-19 pandemic has slightly affected the growth of the market owing to the immediate shutdowns in the commercial sector and industries such as automotive and retail. According to a survey conducted by the Lighting Industry Association (LIA) during the lockdown period, 89% of LIA’s members reported that their business remained open and have recovered 95% of their sales. However, lack of availability of raw materials for manufacturing light casings, chips, and other such factors has affected the supply and demand for the lights.
The growth of this market is expected to remain constant during the lockdown period. This is attributable to the increasing adoption of lights in the residential sector, which has balanced the impact of covid-19 on the growth of the market. Immediate lockdown has forced people to work from home, which, in turn, has increased the adoption in the residential sector. However, the market is anticipated to witness moderate growth moderately during the coming years.

Rising Adoption of Solar in Developing and Under-Developing Nations to Aid Growth
The off-grid solar sector is growing significantly, as it is more energy efficient and provides Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGo) – enabled products. Since the past few years, the application of LEDs in the solar system has increased dramatically with a potential to serve millions of users around the world. According to a report published by the Lighting Global (a program initiated by the World Bank), in 2020, the global off-grid solar sector market size is USD 1.75 billion with 420 million users. Moreover, the off-grid solar has a potential of serving 1.8 billion people and ~70 million farmers, globally.
The report also states, currently 840 million people do not have access to electricity, which is affecting the growth of diverse markets across the globe. The increasing adoption of solar enabled lights will create a massive growth platform for several companies in this sector. Many users in developed and developing nations are adopting such technology, which is resulting in cost saving, time and extra investments.
Demand for Artificial Lightings in the Construction Industry is Driving the Market
The rise of the construction industry has opened up a massive potential for the growth of this market. This growth is attributable to the rising government initiatives across the world, to provide accommodation to the homeless people; an activity that requires lighting equipment. In construction activities, artificial light allows workers to complete the task on time. Also, these are used for safety purposes that can help identify the danger and highlight the area where the work is in process. The construction industry is growing significantly in developing regions such as Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.

Constraints in Setting up Newer Manufacturing Hubs is Hindering the Market Growth
Investors are facing issues while setting up newer light manufacturing hubs in several countries, mainly due to the strict government policies which include the rules and regulations related to environmental actions. There are several other challenges that investors or manufacturers face before setting up a factory, such as high capital costs, high investments in the R&D sector, inefficient supply of raw materials, logistics inefficiency, and lack of availability of advanced manufacturing equipment. These factors are restraining the growth of this market in developing countries.
The increasing adoption of products in diverse applications is compelling governments to work on the policies associated with business operations in their respective countries. The time required to set up newer manufacturing hubs will hamper the growth of the market in the coming years.
LED Segment is Projected to Hold the Highest Market Share in the Forecast Period
Based on the type segment, the market is bifurcated into LEDs, CFLs, LFLs, HIDs, halogens and incandescent; among which the LEDs segment is expected to grow at a highest rate. The growth of this segment is attributable to increasing applications, low costs, and durability of LEDs. LEDs offer brighter light with less consumption of electricity.
Several manufacturers have shifted from CFLs to LEDs over the past decade. The price of LEDs is also low as compared to other lights owing to their low maintenance cost and easily manageable fitting processes.

General Application is Anticipated to Dominate the Market in the Coming Years
The general segment is expected to hold the largest market share with a total market value of USD 93.47 billion in 2019. The general segment accounts for almost 80% of the total market, followed by the automotive lighting segment. Moreover, the market is further segmented into automotive, backlighting, and others.
In the automotive sector, car manufacturing companies are focused on deploying LEDs and halogens in the headlights and on providing better visual quality to the driver. Therefore, the adoption of innovative technology in the automotive sector will emerge in favor of the growth of the automotive lights segment.
Residential Sector is Expected to Hold the Largest Market Share
In the end user segment, the residential sector is anticipated to dominate the market, owing to the increasing demand for new products at regular intervals. However, the light manufacturing companies are more focused on developing new LED that consume less electricity and provide maximum output with long durability. The commercial sector is likely to hold the second largest market share followed by the industrial sector. Factors such as increasing number of commercial buildings, public infrastructure, and others are influencing the growth rate of the commercial sector.
