The energy efficient lighting market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the market size for energy-efficient lighting has seen a robust growth. With projections indicating an increase from $55.27 billion in 2024 to $60.3 billion in 2025.
With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%, the rise during the historic period can be ascribed to factors such as government policies, environmental consciousness, cost-effectiveness and consumer demand.
The energy efficient lighting market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the market size for energy-efficient lighting is set to experience robust expansion. The market is projected to reach $80.9 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%.
Smart lighting integration, urbanization and infrastructure advancements, energy efficiency goals, developing market extensions, incentive schemes, and refunds are among the factors leading to this growth during the forecast period. Notable trends expected to emerge throughout this period include internet of things (IoT) integration, human-centric lighting solutions, the adoption of circadian lighting, the development of Li-Fi technology, and the burgeoning growth of the horticultural lighting market.
The anticipation of growth in the energy-efficient lighting market can be attributed to the government's energy-efficiency initiatives. These initiatives entail the execution of actions, policies, or programs intended to minimize energy use and optimize energy efficiency. The advancement of energy-efficient lighting is boosted by government initiatives that establish standards, back up research and development, and encourage cooperation across different sectors. For illustration, the UK's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero announced in March 2024 that approximately 318,600 energy efficiency measures were established via government schemes in 2023, a surge from 2022 by 49%. Hence, the energy-efficient lighting market is being propelled by government energy-efficiency initiatives.

Leading energy-efficient lighting market players are concentrating their efforts on introducing unique products like color temperature options in cooler color temperatures of 3000K and 4000K. The term color temperature refers to the visual output of light from a source, quantified in degrees Kelvin (K). This enables the differentiation of light that appears warm (leaning towards yellow/red) or cool (leaning towards blue). For example, in November 2022, Signify, a corporation based in the Netherlands renowned for its lighting solutions, rolled out ultra-efficient lighting products designed to provide efficiency of up to 50% more in comparison to conventional LED products. Their new line of such efficient lighting solutions promises energy reductions as high as 60% when compared to traditional LEDs. Compliant with recent energy efficiency rules, these products are expected to last for around 100,000 hours. They are an optimal choice for a plethora of commercial applications, ensuring notable cost reductions and a reduced carbon footprint. Furthermore, they are marketed in a range of wattages and color temperatures, accommodating varied consumer demands.
