Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037
Grow Lights Market size was over USD 2.87 billion in 2024 and is poised to reach USD 34.85 billion by the end of 2037, growing at around 21.4% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of grow lights is assessed at USD 3.37 billion.
The growth of the market can be attributed to the growing concept of indoor plants in order to make the appearance of a home more beautiful. LED lights are more effective than fluorescent lights for growing plants at home, and this is expected to boost the growth of the market.
LED lights are the most effective, efficient, and customer friendly way to grow plants. In addition, the LEDs are much cooler than HPS bulbs, and also lower the environmental impact. They have a wider spectrum of red and blue lights that promote flowering, and vegetative growth. Hence, all these factors are anticipated to provide opportunities to the growth of the global market in the upcoming years.

Grow Lights Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Declining Stocks of Arable Land Per Person– The global per capita agricultural land was 0.6 hectares per capita in the year 2019, accounted for a 30 percent decrement since 1990. The arable land in the major agriculture countries is declining owing to rising industrialization, and urbanization. In addition, the population in the world is increasing, which is leading to a declining stocks of arable land per person. Therefore, it is anticipated to surge the growth of the global grow lights market.
- Increasing Government Initiatives to Innovate Advanced Lighting Technology – Intelligent Lighting control science technology has been awarded nearly USD 625,387 by Innovate UK in funding to develop its intelligent LED grow lighting cloche solution that supports the indoor farming proposition. There has been rising supports for the different companies and organizations developing advanced technologies for indoor and vertical farming.
- Growing Urbanization Along with Increasing Population- It is expected that more than 65 percent of the total population will live in urban areas by the end of 2050 across the globe. There has been an increasing urban population owing to the fact that the urban cultivation is rising, and it is projected to drive the growth of the market in the future
Challenges
- High Installation Cost of LED Grow Lights – The initial setup cost for the LED grow lights is more expensive than the traditional lighting technologies such as HID lamps. Moreover, a single LED grow lights consists of arrays of LEDs that are designed for a particular application. Moreover, these LEDs are available at different prices in the market, that is anticipated to hamper the growth of the market over the forecast period.
- Lack of Financial Resources for Farming
- Concerns Related to the Standardization of the LED Grow Lights Parts

Grow Lights Segmentation
Technology (LED, Fluorescent, Plasma, High Intensity Discharge)
The LED segment is estimated to gain the largest grow lights market share of 38% in the year 2037. The growth of the segment is propelled by the increasing government initiatives to adopt energy efficient LEDs. In addition, the surging urban population is opting for LEDs technology, followed by an increase in the sale of LED lights. This is set to influence the growth of the segment during the forecast timeline.
Application (Commercial Greenhouse, Vertical Farming, Indoor Farming)
The vertical farming segment in the grow lights market is slated to hold the significant share during the forecast timeframe. This can be attributed to the widely acceptance of vertical farming in countries such as China, Japan, and others. Vertical farming produces food, herbs, and medication in vertically stacked layers. These are integrated into a utilized warehouse, skyscraper, or shipping container. Some vertical farms use greenhouse techniques, in which sunlight is enhanced with metal reflectors and grow lights. This influences the growth of the segment.

European Market Statistics
The market share of grow lights in European is predicted to be the largest with a share of about 28% by 2037. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the increasing awareness of alternative farming owing to the non-availability of enough fertile agricultural land. There has been a surge in the usage of grow light systems for a long time in multiple controlled agriculture needs, which further impels the market. Additionally, the market is witnessing a plethora of infrastructural plans by merchants. Bayer, for instance, just established a new, automated greenhouse facility in Marana, Arizona. The USD 100 million facility will primarily function as a global product design centre for maize, and it will be the only crop farmed in that facility. There is also an increasing number of jobs in food production, and agriculture sector in the European region. According to the reported data, the agriculture industry in the EU supported more than 9,000,000 jobs in the year 2020.
North American Forecast
North American grow lights market is set to register a share of 23% by 2037. The market growth is influenced by the different factors such as scarcity of space for cultivating particularly in urban communities. The surging need to develop yield per unit range is yet another factor. The rising adoption of technologies for the vertical and other types of farming is further poised to increase the growth of the LED grow lights marker in the upcoming years. The increasing indoor farming trend in the region is projected to expand the market’s growth in the North America region by the end of 2037.
