Guidehouse Insights Report Forecasts Horticulture LED Lighting Shipments to Grow at a CAGR of 33% by 2030

A new report from Guidehouse Insights provides a study of the global market potential for horticultural lighting with a focus on LEDs for three types of horticultural applications and five technology types.

The rising acceptance of LED technology and the increase in cannabis cultivation in the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific are the two primary factors driving the horticulture lighting market in 2021. According to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, worldwide horticulture LED lighting shipments are expected to grow at a CAGR of 33% by 2030.

“In the coming months and years, lighting experts anticipate the use of LED lighting will increase and dominate the market, with legacy technologies falling behind,” says Krystal Maxwell, research director with Guidehouse Insights. “This trajectory will likely continue as more US states and other world regions legalize cannabis and growers of other crops better understand the benefits of LED technology for their operations.”

While there are many growth factors, a few dynamics are preventing the market from growing as fast as it could. These barriers include inconsistent cannabis legalization, cost, limited access to capital, and technology uncertainty. As the rise of the LED lighting market continues, especially if cannabis is legalized on the federal level in the US, lighting industry experts foresee a consolidation of the market through merger and acquisition activity, with companies that do not meet emerging standards going out of business.

The report, LED Lighting for Horticultural Applications, provides a study of the global market potential for horticultural lighting with a focus on LEDs, covering unit sales and revenue. The report considers three types of horticultural applications: cannabis, produce, and floriculture. This report also covers five technology types: LED, HPS, fluorescent, metal halide, and other. All major global regions of the world—North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa—are included, and the forecast period extends through 2030. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.
