High Intensity Discharge (HID) Bulbs Global Market Report 2024

The high intensity discharge (HID) bulbs market size has declined steeply in recent years. It will decline from $3.51 billion in 2023 to $3.02 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -13.9%. The decline in the historic period can be attributed to limited color options, warm-up time, mercury content, maintenance costs.

The high intensity discharge (HID) bulbs market size is expected to see steep decline in the next few years. It will decline to $1.54 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -15.5%. The decline in the forecast period can be attributed to energy efficiency standards, market competition, dimming compatibility, technological obsolescence, environmental regulations. Major trends in the forecast period include transition to led, smart lighting control, custom spectrum lighting, improved lumen output, sustainability and recycling.

Rising demand for bulbs with high luminaire values is driving the high-intensity discharge bulb market. High-intensity discharge bulb (HID) headlamps provide more high-intensity light on the road than traditional halogen headlamps. HID headlamps provide a cool white color at a temperature of 4,500 Kelvin, compared to yellowish halogen headlamps at 3,200 Kelvin. Furthermore, HID lamps illuminate a larger area compared to halogen headlights.

The rising investments in infrastructure development are expected to propel the growth of the high-intensity discharge (HID) bulb market. Infrastructure development refers to the process of planning, designing, financing, constructing, and maintaining physical and organizational structures and facilities that are essential for the functioning of a society or economy. HID bulbs contribute to infrastructure development by offering reliable, energy-efficient, and high-quality lighting solutions for various project requirements, ensuring the safety, functionality, and aesthetics of these infrastructure investments. For instance, in April 2023, according to the World Bank, a US-based international financial institution, infrastructure investments in low- and middle-income countries showed a sustained recovery in 2022. Private participation in infrastructure (PPI) investments surged to $91.7 billion across 263 projects, reflecting a notable 23% increase compared to 2021. Therefore, rising investments in infrastructure development will drive the growth of the high-intensity discharge (HID) bulb market. Stringent energy efficiency standards and regulations imposed on HID lamps are acting as a restraint on the market. The category of HID bulbs like metal halides is subjected to tighter regulatory standards. For instance, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued new energy efficiency standards for metal halide luminaries and tightened the standards by expanding the coverage from low-wattage (50-149W) to high-wattage (501-1000W) luminaires. These strict regulations are impacting the growth of the HID bulb market.

HID bulbs manufacturing companies are focusing on introducing new technologically advanced products into the market. In addition to design, manufacturers are also focusing on energy efficiency by investing in in-house R&D and forming strategic partnerships. Manufacturers are focusing on producing HID lamps with limited light pollution compared to LED and metal halide and improved life.

Companies in the high-intensity discharge (HID) bulb market are increasingly focusing on mergers and acquisitions to improve their financial strength and product portfolio. Mergers and acquisitions aim to achieve strategic goals such as market expansion, technology enhancement, cost savings, and competitive advantage. For instance, in March 2021, Ams AG, an Austrian-based electronics company, acquired OSRAM Licht AG for $1.26 billion (€1.2 billion). With this acquisition, Ams strengthens its focus on product development with the incredible breadth of Osram’s patent portfolio across emerging technologies. OSRAM Licht AG is a Germany-based electric light manufacturer specializing in high-intensity discharge bulbs such as Mercury Short-Arc Lamps.,
