Horticulture Lighting Market Overview

The Horticulture Lighting Market size is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.41 percent, indicating significant growth during the forecast period. By 2026, the Horticulture Lighting Market is projected to grow to a value of USD 7,878.4 million, from a current value of USD 2,928.6 million in 2019.  Agriculture's area of plant science that deals with gardening crops such as fruit, veggies, and decorative plants is known as horticulture. Horticulture lighting is an artificial light source that is used to aid in the process of photosynthesis in plants. This procedure is particularly beneficial in regions where there is a shortage of enough sunshine. Without sunshine or any other light source necessary for photosynthesis, the plants become stunted and unable to reproduce. According to industry analysts, the advantages of producing crops all year round via the technique of horticulture lighting will have major implications for the horticulture lighting business. Indoor horticulture, plant multiplication, and food security are all possible with the use of grow lights.

Rapid population expansion and urbanization, decreasing water resources, and ongoing climate change as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions have all contributed to decreased arable land reserves per person. As agricultural land becomes scarcer, policymakers are confronted with issues of sustainability and feeding the world's fast increasing population, which is expected to reach roughly 9.6 billion by 2050. Urban agriculture, greenhouses farming, and vertical farming are all examples of solutions for increasing future food production since they rely on increased technology and automation to make the most use of available land and water. Food production technology aspires to substantially improve production while minimizing environmental impact within the confines of urban, weather high-rise structures. Such facilities, it is said, provide many potential benefits, including a clean and green supply of food, biosecurity, resistance to pests and droughts, and decreased reliance on transportation and fossil fuels.

Covid 19 Analysis

Due to various overstock in the sector in recent years, the coronavirus pandemic has had very little effect on the industry. During the China shutdowns, only the packaging industry suffered from a shortage of labor to a limited extent. As a result, it is unlikely that the LED industry's ecology and supply chain structure will alter much in the near future.

Market Dynamics

• Drivers

It is anticipated that the horticulture lighting market would expand significantly in the next years, owing to an increase in demand for sophisticated lighting technologies and products. The production of fruits and vegetables, as well as floriculture, are other applications for these lights that are anticipated to spur market expansion. Furthermore, the need for horticultural lighting systems in vertical farming applications is increasing, which further encourages the producers of vertical farming to build up effective management, thus supporting the market's development.

• Opportunities

The fast population expansion and accessibility of restricted farmland, as well as a rise with year good dividend, as well as infrastructure investments and efforts, are the primary drivers of Horticulture Lighting Market growth. Furthermore, the fast advancement of technology has provided a great opportunity for the industry to expand in size.

• Restraints

There are a number of obstacles that must be overcome in order for the Horticulture Lighting industry to continue to expand. While the elevated one-time material surface cost of energy-efficient LED light innovations and the restrictions on cultivating a limited number of agronomic traits are expected to be major restraints on Horticulture Lighting Market growth over the forecast period, they are not expected to be significant restraints in the near future.

• Challenges

Among the most significant difficulties facing market participants is the high cost of electricity LED grow light technology, as well as the practicality of growing just a small selection of crop species under horticulture light conditions, which are the major challenges of the horticulture lightening market.

Cumulative Growth Analysis

The high-intensity discharge light category had the highest market share in 2019, accounting for 39.11 percent of the total market value of USD 1,145.5 million; it is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.20 percent during the forecast period. The LED light category was the second-largest industry in 2019, with a market value of USD 866.1 million; it is expected to grow at the fastest rate, with a compound annual growth rate of 18.99 percent. The market has been divided into two categories based on the kind of lighting used: upper and inter-lighting. The top-lighting category accounted for the largest horticulture lighting market share in 2019, accounting for 52.96 percent of the total market value of USD 1,551.1 million; it is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.55 percent during the forecast period. The inter-lighting sector was valued at USD 1,377.5 million in 2014, and it is expected to grow at a faster rate of 17.33 percent over the next five years.  The greenhouse lighting market had the highest market share in 2019, accounting for 37.93 percent of the total market value of USD 1,110.7 million; it is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.65 percent during the forecast period.

Value Chain Analysis

According to the reports, In terms of segmentation, the global horticulture lighting market is divided into Technology, Lighting Type, Cultivation, Application, and Regional segments. The market has been divided based on technology into the following categories: high-intensity discharge light, LED light, fluorescent lighting, and others.
