The light-emitting diode (LED) grow lights market size is estimated to increase by USD 4,869.64 million between 2022 and 2027. The market size is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 26.8%. The growth of the market depends on several factors, including growth in indoor farming, the need for energy-efficient and long-lasting grow-light technology, and the need to improve the yield of crops and reduce crop wastage. LED grow lights are full-spectrum LED lights, like the sun or any natural light, which help plants grow. The products are an artificial source of light that helps stimulate plant growth by providing enough light for photosynthesis. They dissipate an electromagnetic light spectrum; hence, they are used widely in places where naturally occurring sunlight is low.

The need for energy-efficient and long-lasting grow light technology is the key factor driving the growth of the market. The products are more energy efficient than fluorescent grow devices and HPS grow devices. CFLs are almost 50% less efficient than LED grow devices. The heat emitted from the LED grow devices is also low, approximately zero. LED grow devices play an important role in commercial greenhouse management, helping to improve crop quality and optimize production to meet market demand. The products are efficient and energy savers.
Moreover, the devices help to improve the taste of food. The overall quality and flavor of the food is determined by exposing the plant to the right amount of light. These devices give growers complete control over color, proximity, focus, and wavelength. Optimized light exposure ensures high yields, production quality, and improved food taste. Hence, the global market is anticipated to grow significantly during the forecast period.
The use of artificial intelligence is the primary trend shaping the growth of the market. Artificial intelligence helps to discover different environmental factors that can affect the growth of plants during indoor farming. Indoor farming requires a controlled environment with the right temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration, water, and light. It is also important to maintain the right combination of inputs, which must change with each stage of plant growth. Artificial intelligence helps to avoid the unnecessary use of the products.
Furthermore, major market players are investing in artificial intelligence. Various algorithms have been developed to analyze the data collected from the sensors and determine the growth and progress of the crop. This technology creates unique farming processes that help to manage the right amount of light and nutrients needed by plants, predict plant diseases, and optimize growing conditions. Hence, advancements in artificial intelligence and deep learning are expected to drive the global market during the forecast period.
The harmful effects of LED grow lights affect the growth of the market. The products are very sensitive to the human eye. Workers working on indoor farms should use eye protection as LED devices can be harmful to human eyes. Indoor growers should always avoid looking directly into such strong light sources. The blue light produced by LED grow devices ranges from 380nm to 500nm across the light spectrum. It has serious effects on the health of growers. Overexposure to blue light can damage the retina, macula, and photoreceptors. It also affects the human sleep cycle.
Moreover, some lights emit ultraviolet (UV) light, which is harmful to the human eye. Exposure to the UV spectrum can damage vision or lead to color perception problems, cataracts, and decreased night vision. Therefore, growers need to be careful and use many preventive measures to protect their health. Hence, these adverse effects are likely to affect demand for the products, which will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the commercial greenhouses segment will be significant during the forecast period. A commercial greenhouse is a structure whose roof is made of a transparent material such as glass. Plants are grown under specified climatic conditions. These structures vary in size, from small hangars to industrial-scale buildings. Fruits, flowers, and vegetables can be grown in a greenhouse at any time of the year. Greenhouses eliminate the problem of short growing seasons and low light levels. Such factors have led to a high demand for LED grow lights.

The commercial greenhouses segment showed a gradual increase in the market share of USD 456.37 million in 2017 and continued to grow by 2021. Commercial greenhouse operators are increasingly using the products to increase their production capacity. Initially, about 25% of the total greenhouse area was fitted with LED lights on top of the Hyperion 1750. This provided over 200 micromol/s/m2 of artificial light. Sterling Suffolk plans to expand the products area in the following years, which will help to produce high-yielding tomatoes year-round. Therefore, with the increase in greenhouse adoption globally, the demand for the products is expected to increase during the forecast period.
The low power held the largest market share in the global market. Indoor gardening using the products is gaining momentum as individuals benefit from growing their own plants under controlled conditions. Using the products properly is one of the most important aspects of indoor farming. Among the different types and wattages available, low-power LED grow lights stand out as an energy-efficient and versatile option for a number of indoor farming applications. Low-power LEDs provide the ideal balance between light and energy efficiency for plants that require minimal light. Hence, due to these advantages, the products are expected to significantly boost the global market during the forecast period.

Europe is estimated to contribute 35% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. Due to the growing popularity of vertical farming Europe is the leading market for the products. The Netherlands is one of the main exporters of horticultural products and has various commercial automated greenhouses. Several greenhouse complexes in the Netherlands span 175 acres. These air-conditioned farms have helped make the country a world leader in tomato exports.
Furthermore, the area faces extreme cold in winter and a lack of sunshine in many places, leading to the need for artificial lighting and indoor farming. Many startups in Europe are taking the initiative to grow crops without an open farm. Thus, such initiatives will increase demand for the products, driving the products market in the region during the forecast period.
