Grow Light Market - Global Forecast to 2022
The grow lights market was valued at USD 2.50 billion in 2016 and is expected to reach USD 5.11 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 11.86 % during the forecast period. Grow lights can be efficiently used to grow crops and vegetables indoors in any season. However, these crops would require artificial lighting for photosynthesis, which may not be favorable in a particular region due to extreme climatic conditions. A grow light is an electronic lamp designed to accelerate plant growth by emitting electromagnetic spectrum ideal for photosynthesis. The technological innovations has led to the development of a variety of grow lights according to the requirements of the plants. Base year considered for study is 2016 and the forecast has been provided for the period between 2017 and 2022.
The grow lights market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.86 % between 2017 and 2022 to be valued at USD 5.11 billion by 2022. Grow lights, especially LEDs are used in a wide range of farming-related applications, owing to the advantages they offer such as high reliability, low power consumption, and spectral intensity. The increasing commercial greenhouse and vertical farming practices, which require the use of different grow lights, are driving the growth of the overall grow lights market.

This market is segmented on the basis of technology, installation, application, spectrum, and geography. The applications include vertical farming, indoor farming, commercial greenhouse, turf and landscaping, and research. Among all these applications, commercial greenhouse held the largest market share in 2016.
On the basis of technology, the grow lights market has been segmented into high-intensity discharge (HID), fluorescent lighting (FL), light emitting diode (LED), and other lighting technologies (induction and plasma lighting). Traditional lighting technologies such as high-intensity discharge (HID) and fluorescent lighting (FL) are quite popular among commercial growers as well as hobbyists. LED grow light is a new technology in horticultural lighting and is proving to be far more effective than other lighting technologies. Though LED grow lights are expensive, their long-term benefits in terms of energy efficiency make them an ideal option for indoor plant cultivation.
The grow lights market, on the basis of installation, has been segmented into retrofit and new installations. The market for retrofit installations is likely to hold a larger market share in the coming years. In the context of the grow lights market, retrofitting is defined as removing an existing grow light and installing a new one, either of the same lighting technology or of a different lighting technology. New installations are generally characterized by the expansion of existing facilities or setting up of a new facility, such as a new greenhouse or a vertical farm.
The leading players operating in the grow lights market include Royal Philips (Netherlands), General Electric Company (U.S.), Osram LichtAG (Germany), Gavita Holland B.V. (Netherlands), LumiGrow, Inc. (U.S.), Heliospectra AB (Sweden), Iwasaki Electric Co., Ltd. (Japan), Illumitex, Inc. (U.S.), Hortilux Schreder B.V. (Netherlands), and Sunlight Supply, Inc. (U.S.)
