Increasing government support for the production and sales of LEDs is notably driving market growth. The global market is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions in various applications. Semiconductor devices, machinery and tools used in the manufacturing of LEDs, OLEDs, and other related technologies are driving the market.
Moreover, LED lighting applications, which account for over 25% of global energy consumption, are subject to stringent energy efficiency regulations. Governments worldwide are promoting the use of LEDs through incentives and subsidies, such as India's LED Street Lighting National Programme (SLNP) and Unnat Jyoti by Affordorsable LEDs for All (UJALA). Thus, such factors are driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Growing investments in GaN-based technology for mini/micro-LEDs is the key trend in the market. Micro-LEDs, which are smaller than 100 micrometers in size, represent the next generation of LED technology. Unlike traditional LEDs that require backlighting, micro-LEDs are self-emissive, producing rich color and brightness with minimal power consumption. The production of LEDs primarily relies on sapphire substrates.
However, the growing demand for micro-LEDs has led manufacturers to explore alternative technologies, such as gallium nitride-on-silicon (GaN-on-Si), for their production. GaN-on-Si technology offers several advantages, including smaller size, improved efficiency, and reduced production costs. Various vendors are investing in the development of this technology to cater to the increasing market traction for micro-LEDs in various applications, including semiconductor devices, general lighting, automotive lighting, displays, backlighting, roads, bridges, buildings, public spaces, LED streetlights, architectural lighting, and public area illumination. Thus, such trends will shape the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Challenges in manufacturing micro-LEDs is the major challenge that affects the growth of the market. Micro-LEDs, which are LEDs that generate light without external sources, have gained significant attention in the lighting and display industries due to their potential advantages over traditional LED, OLED, and LCD technologies. Micro-LED displays consist of tiny LEDs, typically smaller than 100 µm, forming individual pixel elements.
Moreover, these LEDs offer enhanced brightness, response speed, and contrast, as well as energy efficiency. However, integrating micro-LEDs into various products poses technical challenges, making LCDs, LEDs, and OLEDs more popular alternatives. Some limitations of micro-LEDs include manufacturing complexities, such as achieving uniformity, reliability, and scalability. Additionally, the semiconductor devices required for micro-LED production, including MOCVD Equipment, Lithography Equipment, Dry Etch Equipment, and PECVD Equipment, are sophisticated and costly. In the context of lighting applications, micro-LEDs have been utilized in various sectors, including general lighting, automotive lighting, displays, backlighting, roads, bridges, buildings, public spaces, LED streetlights, and architectural lighting. The DesignLights Consortium (DLC) and energy efficiency regulations have also influenced the adoption of LED technology in these sectors. Hence, the above factors will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
