LED Production Equipment Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing government support for the production and sales of LEDs is notably driving the LED production equipment market growth, although factors such as challenges in manufacturing micro-LEDs may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the LED production equipment industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key LED Production Equipment Market Driver
- The increasing government support for the production and sales of LEDs is one of the key drivers supporting the LED production equipment market growth.
- Lighting applications are estimated to account for more than 25% of the global energy consumption. There is an immediate need to reduce this energy consumption, and governments across the world are focusing on the implementation of policies to promote the use of energy-efficient LED products.
- The Indian Government's LED Street Lighting National Programme (SLNP) is the world's largest streetlight replacement program, and Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All (UJALA) is the world's largest domestic lighting project. These schemes aim to replace incandescent and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) across India with LED lamps.
- In October 2021, halogen light bulbs were banned in the UK as a part of the government's wider efforts to tackle climate change. As per the new legislation, retailers in the UK are now prohibited from selling a majority of halogen bulbs for general household use.
- An estimated 54 million halogen bulbs now need to be replaced by LEDs. Also, the government has planned to phase out the sales of high-energy fluorescent light bulbs and ban their sales by September 2023. Such initiatives by the government will drive the LED production equipment market growth during the forecast period.
Key LED Production Equipment Market Trend
- Growing investments in GaN-based technology for mini or micro-LEDs is one of the key LED production equipment market trends fueling the market growth.
- Micro-LEDs measure less than 100 um and can be 1/100th the size of a conventional LED. These are self-emissive and do not require a backlight, unlike LEDs that are used as backlights in LCDs.
- LED production is based on the sapphire substrate. However, with the increasing market traction for micro-LEDs, LED manufacturers are shifting to gallium nitride-on-silicon (GaN-on-Si) technology for micro-LED production.
- The advantage of using GaN-on-Si instead of the sapphire substrate is higher yield. With this technology, a larger wafer size can be achieved, which is beneficial for micro-LEDs because of the use of transfer stamps that allow maximum wafer surface area utilization and ensure cost savings.
- Advantages of GaN-based technology will propel the LED production equipment market growth during the forecast period.
Key LED Production Equipment Market Challenge
- Challenges in manufacturing micro-LEDs is one of the key factors challenging the LED production equipment market growth.
- Micro-LEDs are LEDs that produce light without the help of any external light source and are used in lighting and displays. However, there are several technical and manufacturing issues in the development of micro-LEDs. IN view of this, LCDs, LEDs, and OLEDs are still the preferred options.
- Since a micro-LED chip is very small, a large amount of metal in solder paste is generated during bonding, which can cause a short circuit.
- In the micro-LED manufacturing process, micro-LEDs are transferred from a temporary substrate to the main substrate, which can lead to chip damage.
- These manufacturing challenges make the commercialization of micro-LEDs for high-volume consumer applications difficult and may adversely impact the growth of the LED production equipment market during the forecast period.
This LED production equipment market analysis report also provides detaiLED information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.

The LED production equipment market share growth by the front-end LED production equipment segment will be significant during the forecast period. LED manufacturers can choose between methods such as dry etching and wet etching to produce patterned sapphire substrate (PSS) wafers. Even though LEDs based on dry-etched PSS wafers are considered efficient light sources, the dry etching process is comparatively slow. For instance, these can take up to 30-60 minutes to etch a standard 2-inch wafer, depending upon the type of film used and the depth of the pattern being etched. Thus, the availability of such advanced LED production equipment is expected to augment the growth of the front-end LED production equipment segment during the forecast period.
This report provides an accurate prediction of the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the LED production equipment market size and actionable market insights on post COVID-19 impact on each segment.
