This Specialty Lighting report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.
The specialty lighting market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.12 billion in 2024 to $7.65 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to architectural and decorative lighting, energy efficiency, increased demand for enhanced illumination, growth in awareness of aesthetics and ambiance, expanding applications in healthcare and entertainment.
The specialty lighting market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.59 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to architectural and decorative lighting, energy efficiency, increased demand for enhanced illumination, growth in awareness of aesthetics and ambiance, expanding applications in healthcare and entertainment. Major trends in the forecast period include smart lighting and iot integration, architectural lighting innovations, sustainable and eco-friendly lighting, uv and disinfection lighting, customizable lighting products.
The specialty lighting market is poised for growth due to the increasing number of live music events and concerts. These public performances utilize specialty lighting to illuminate stages, enhance visual experiences, and create immersive environments for attendees. The demand for specialty lighting is on the rise, as evidenced by Live Nation Entertainment Inc.'s report in 2022, which indicated a substantial increase in the number of people attending Live Nation shows compared to 2019. This surge in live events and concerts is a significant driver for the specialty lighting market.
Another factor contributing to the growth of the specialty lighting market is the widespread adoption of Light-emitting diodes (LEDs). LEDs, as semiconductor devices emitting light when an electric current is applied, are increasingly preferred for their energy efficiency and customizable lighting solutions. The U.S. Energy Information Administration's projection in October 2021 suggests that LED lighting is expected to dominate commercial lighting needs, reaching up to 95% by 2050. This widespread adoption of LEDs is a key driver for the specialty lighting market.
Major companies in the specialty lighting market are concentrating on developing high-power white LEDs that employ phosphor-on-chip technology to enhance brightness, improve color rendering, and boost energy efficiency, offering versatile lighting solutions for a range of applications, including automotive, architectural, and industrial lighting. Phosphor-on-chip technology refers to an advanced LED manufacturing process in which a phosphor material is applied directly onto the LED chip, rather than being placed on a separate component or encapsulation. For example, in October 2023, Luminus Devices Inc., a US-based company, launched the SST-12, a high-power white LED. Its round emitter design enhances beam spot uniformity compared to traditional square emitters, resulting in improved brightness and color consistency within the beam. The SST-12 features a tighter beam angle and longer beam distance, making it ideal for various applications, such as portable lights and architectural lighting. With a typical efficacy of 116 lumens per watt at 0.35A Tj 85°C (3000K), the SST-12 is positioned as a leading option for energy-efficient lighting solutions.
Major companies in the specialty lighting market are pursuing a strategic partnership approach to drive production and market expansion. Strategic partnerships involve leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits. For instance, TTI Inc., a U.S.-based electronic component company, entered into a partnership with Cree LED, a specialty lighting company. This collaboration aims to broaden the companies' channel and customer base, extend their reach into specialty lighting, eMobility, and industrial markets, and offer customers an extensive range of LED solutions.
In October 2023, Excelitas Technologies Corp., a U.S.-based industrial company, acquired Heraeus Noblelight for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition positions Excelitas as a specialist in photonics technology for lighting, optronics, detection, and optical technology needs. Heraeus Noblelight, based in Germany, specializes in developing and manufacturing specialty lamps, emitters, and systems, contributing to Excelitas' portfolio in the specialty lighting market.
