SOLID STATE LIGHTING MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Solid State Lighting Market is poised for significant growth USD 20.18 billion in 2025, and projected to reach USD 32.42 billion by 2034, with a CAGR of 6.1% from 2025 to 2034.

The United States Solid State Lighting market size is projected at USD 7.05 billion in 2025, the Europe market at USD 4.92 billion, and the China market at USD 5.30 billion.

LEDs are used in the solid-state lighting (SSL) technology to replace traditional incandescent and fluorescent lamps for general lighting. Electroluminescence, a phenomenon whereby an electric current passing through a specially designed semiconductor diode causes the semiconductor material to glow, is how an SSL device generates visible light. Indicator lamps were the original purpose of LEDs in electronic equipment like radio transmitters and various domestic goods like clock radios and television sets. Later, as more brilliant LEDs were created, SSL lamps were used in electronic billboards, traffic lighting, and car headlamps. These days, we can find them in a variety of places, including flashlights, searchlights, cameras, indoor and outdoor lighting setups, and many other things.

SSL lights have a higher energy conversion efficiency than incandescent and fluorescent lamps, which is their main advantage. For instance, a typical incandescent bulb used in a home only emits around 10% of the electrical energy it receives as visible light and emits the remaining 90% as infrared (IR) radiation, often known as heat. An SSL device, in comparison, transforms around 90 percent of the provided energy into visible light, and only 10 percent into IR. The lengthy lifespans of SSL devices are another benefit of the technology. A typical SSL lamp has a lifespan of 35,000 to 50,000 hours, which is nearly six times longer than that of a compact fluorescent light bulb and more than 20 times longer than that of an incandescent bulb (CFL).

When dropped, solid-state bulbs do not break and do not contain any harmful materials like CFLs do (as all other common types of lamps do). Unlike fluorescent or CFL lighting, a standard SSL lamp is fully dimmable like an incandescent bulb. Additionally, SSL lamps do not emit ultraviolet (UV) light, which can have a variety of negative effects, from drawing insects to degrading wallpaper and artwork. A top-notch SSL device can operate at temperatures lower than a standard CFL. To accommodate everyone's preferences, SSL light manufacturers offer colour colours ranging from "cold blue" to "warm yellow."

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 Impact: Decline in Consumers Income to Hamper Market Growth

The sudden spike in CAGR is attributed to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with solid state lighting market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

A once-in-a-lifetime health and economic catastrophe, COVID-19 has irrevocably altered how people work and live. We won't be returning to the familiar world as a result of the significant and long-lasting effects on the consumer products business. The consumer goods business is undergoing significant structural changes as a result of the crisis, which is fundamentally altering how and what customers buy. Consumers had been forced off their regular routines due to the outbreak. New habits and behaviours were adopted by consumers, many of which are expected to last over time. Consumers were more cautious when making purchases.

Consumers wanted to reduce food waste, shop more wisely, and use more environmentally friendly products. In addition, consumers are less likely to increase their spending due to the economic effects of the coronavirus epidemic, and many anticipate that their household income will continue to decline in the following months. However, spending more on groceries and home entertainment has increased as a result of greater time spent indoors. This is anticipated to affect United States solid state lighting market growth.

LATEST TRENDS

Stringent Regulations on Power Consumption by the Government to Stir Market Growth

The market for solid state lightning is anticipated to be driven by the government's strict limits on power use. Consumers' growing knowledge of environmental sustainability and energy efficiency is also boosting the market, which is why the government decided to enact these restrictions. The effectiveness of solid state lighting increased product sales as a result of power consumption requirements.

• According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), over 87 million LED installations were recorded in U.S. households and commercial buildings by 2023, replacing traditional incandescent and fluorescent lighting due to regulatory energy mandates.

• As per the European Commission’s Energy Efficient Lighting Report (2023), OLED lighting panel production in Europe increased by 35%, driven by demand in automotive, architectural, and residential sectors prioritizing thin and flexible lighting solutions.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increased Use of LED Technology to Improve Market Growth

The market is expanding as a result of the widespread use of LED technology in a variety of sectors, including the automotive, healthcare, and retail industries. Solid state lighting has several applications, which is why it is employed in a variety of industries. It is produced on an industrial basis and shipped to a number of places. End users and designers are growing more and more accustomed to SSL. Small size, simplicity of control, unidirectional distribution, cool beam, colour rendering that can be extremely high and comparable to high colour rendering index (CRI) fluorescent lamps, lower energy use compared to incandescent lamps, high performance in cold environments, long life, and new form factors are just a few of the benefits of solid state lightning.

• According to India’s Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), LED adoption under the UJALA scheme reduced energy consumption by 5.3 billion kWh annually, promoting solid state lighting over conventional alternatives in over 50 million households.

• The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that urban LED street lighting coverage expanded to 56% globally by end-2023, driven by cities investing in smart, sustainable infrastructure to meet decarbonization goals.

Energy Efficient Features of the Semiconductor to Boost Market Growth

For illumination, solid state lighting uses organic light emitting diodes (OLED), light emitting diodes (LED), and polymer light-emitting diodes as opposed to gas or filaments. One of the key factors fuelling the expansion of the worldwide solid state lighting market is the rising need for energy-efficient lighting solutions. Users anticipate that SSL quality will be on par with that of conventional lighting solutions.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Difficulty in Maintaining Power Density to Impede Market Growth

Since the material's conductivity is low, boosting power density is challenging. Large-capacity monomers are challenging to make. Intensive research is still being done on the positive and negative film forming technique for mass production. The internal resistance is comparatively high at low temperatures.

• According to a 2023 report by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), 23% of SSL failures in industrial applications stemmed from performance issues in environments below -10°C, limiting suitability for some cold-chain and outdoor uses.

• As per the European Union’s Energy Labeling Framework, SSL systems still cost 20% to 35% more upfront than traditional lighting in small-scale commercial projects, which remains a barrier for price-sensitive markets and small businesses.
