While high-quality LED lamps consume 75% less energy than their incandescent counterparts, they last 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs. The energy efficiency and high durability of LEDs make them highly sought after for both residential and commercial applications. With customers and companies becoming more environmentally conscious, the adoption of LEDs for reducing carbon footprints is increasing.
There is a growing adoption of LED luminaries as indoor lighting solutions due to their low power consumption, durability, lower operating costs, and minimal heat protection. As per the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS), 47% of households in the US reported using LEDs for most or all of their indoor lighting in 2020. To meet the growing demand for LEDs in indoor lighting, manufacturers are expanding their product portfolio to include decorative lighting, smart LEDs, and speciality products designed for different household applications.
The development of AI-powered LED lights that can adjust lighting based on factors like ambient light levels, occupancy, and time of day is expected to drive the LED market development. AI algorithms can also regulate the colour temperature and intensity of LEDs to align with circadian rhythms, improving productivity, mood, and sleep quality.

3D printing technology is expected to revolutionise the LED market landscape in the forecast period. 3D-printed LED luminaries boast lower carbon emissions and high recyclability and are lightweight and highly energy-efficient. Moreover, the rising use of recycled materials from waste streams in the 3D printing of LED luminaries is expected to drive the market.
Increasing research and development efforts aimed at leading to improvements in LED technology, resulting in higher brightness levels, better colour accuracy, increased efficiency, and reduced production costs are likely to further propel the market in the coming years.
Increasing construction activities; extensive applications of LED; surging demand for smart lighting solutions; and the growing trend of miniaturisation are favouring the LED market expansion.
The requirement for efficient lighting at various construction sites is increasing as the right lighting reduces the chance of mishaps that take place due to unclear vision, thereby fuelling the LED market expansion. With features like extraordinary high-quality lighting, minimal maintenance, and reduced energy costs, the demand for LED is expected to propel in various applications, thereby boosting overall market expansion. Additionally, the usage of LED to gain large energy savings is attracting consumers to adopt LED over small and larger construction sites.
The market growth is being driven by the various applications of LED lights in activities, such as photography, interior designing, and other uses. In addition, over the past few decades, LED has witnessed a rise in the integration of concepts like AI and IoT, which is helping light manufacturing companies to extend their capacities and produce innovative products. Also, the adoption of signals and signages from various companies, institutions, or governments, is expected to increase over the forecast period.
Smart lighting solutions, which include LED-based systems controlled by smartphones, voice commands, or sensors, are gaining popularity. These systems offer features like remote control, automated dimming, colour tuning, and energy management. The Internet of things (IoT) integration in smart lighting is further expanding the market.
Miniaturisation is one of the significant market trends, driven by the demand for smaller, more energy-efficient, and versatile lighting and display solutions. Micro-LEDs and mini-LEDs are extremely small LED components with individual pixel sizes on the micron scale. They are used in various applications, including displays (such as smartphones, TVs, and wearables) and fine-pitch LED displays. These technologies offer higher pixel densities, improved brightness, and enhanced colour accuracy.
Voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple's Siri have made it easier for users to control smart lighting using voice commands. Voice-controlled lighting is gaining popularity for its convenience and hands-free operation. Furthermore, smart lighting systems often incorporate sensors for motion detection, ambient light sensing, and occupancy detection. This enables automated lighting adjustments based on user presence and daylight levels, improving energy efficiency.
Thin and flexible LED technologies, often referred to as "flexible OLEDs" or "flexible LED displays," made on flexible substrates are gaining significant popularity. These LEDs are bendable, rollable, and conformable, allowing for innovative designs and applications, including curved screens, wearable displays, and automotive lighting.
