A light emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electrical current passes through it. LEDs are known for their small size, low power consumption, and the ability to emit light in various colors, depending on the semiconductor material used. They find widespread application in backlighting for devices such as TVs, mobile phones, automotive lighting, and display boards.
The main product types in the LED market include LED lamps and LED fixtures. LED lamps are standalone lighting units that incorporate LEDs, while LED fixtures are luminaires with built-in LEDs. These products utilize various technologies, including basic LEDs, high brightness LEDs, Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED), polymers, and ultraviolet LEDs. LEDs cater to a diverse range of end-users, including residential, commercial, and industrial customers, meeting a wide array of lighting needs in different settings.

The light emitting diode (LED) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $85.46 billion in 2024 to $93.3 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to energy efficiency awareness, environmental regulations, cost reduction, urban and street lighting projects.
The light emitting diode (LED) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $122.36 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart lighting and iot, sustainability and green building, health and well-being, electric vehicle (ev) adoption, customized and high-cri lighting. Major trends in the forecast period include human-centric lighting, miniaturization, architectural and decorative lighting, horticultural lighting, li-fi technology.
The burgeoning government emphasis on energy conservation has significantly contributed to the expansion of the light emitting diode (LED) market. LED lamps are highly energy-efficient and offer superior luminosity. Compared to incandescent bulbs, LEDs consume less power, alleviating the strain on electric power systems. The reduced power demand lessens fuel usage in electricity generation. For instance, in April 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) launched an energy savings hub to provide Americans access to cleaner, more efficient energy options, offering clean energy tax credits and upcoming rebates. This elevated government focus on energy preservation is a driving force behind the LED market's growth.
The growth of the residential sector is anticipated to drive the expansion of the light-emitting diode (LED) market in the coming years. The residential sector refers to a segment of the real estate industry that focuses on properties intended for domestic or residential use. LEDs in the residential sector provide benefits such as energy and cost savings, enhanced lighting control, a longer lifespan, energy efficiency, durability, and reduced maintenance. For example, in September 2023, the United States Census Bureau, a principal agency of the federal statistical system in the US, reported that the number of privately owned housing units approved by building permits in February 2023 reached 1,524,000 on a seasonally adjusted annual basis. This figure represents a 13.8% increase compared to the revised January rate of 1,339,000. Thus, the growing residential sector is contributing to the expansion of the LED market.
Cultivating LED technology tailored specifically for horticulture stands as a burgeoning trend within the light emitting diode (LED) market. The role of light in plant growth is vital, and LEDs offer precise control over the light spectrum provided to plants, irrespective of the season. LED lights designed for horticulture not only foster fruit and plant growth but also enrich flavors, colors, and yields within a shorter duration. For example, in March 2022, Acuity Brands, a US-based lighting and building management firm, unveiled the Verjure brand, a novel LED horticulture lighting solution. The Verjure Pro Series LED boasts a unique rotational outer module feature, ensuring consistent lighting uniformity across the canopy. Additionally, its detachable lenses facilitate easy cleaning, allowing for the maintenance of full light output.
Innovation within the light emitting diode (LED) market is focusing on products like the up-down glow LED bulb to drive market revenues. This unique bulb emits light in both upward and downward directions, producing a distinct and aesthetically pleasing lighting effect. For instance, in October 2023, Halonix Technologies Pvt Ltd., an India-based firm specializing in LED lighting solutions, launched the up-down glow LED bulb. This 10W LED Bulb offers two variations, each with three lighting modes, providing white, warm, and mixed illumination in the first variation, and white, blue, and mixed lighting in the second.
In May 2022, Google, a US-based technology company, made an undisclosed acquisition of Raxium. Google aims to advance its mission of creating innovative devices and services that enhance people's daily lives. Raxium, a US-based company, specializes in developing miniature light-emitting diodes for use in displays utilized in augmented and mixed reality devices.
