North America Horticulture Lighting Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Technology, Application, and Cultivation

The horticulture lighting market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 830.5 million in 2019 to US$ 3,597.2 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 20.7% from 2020 to 2027.

Increase in population and advancements in greenhouse and indoor farming techniques are expected to boost the growth of the horticulture lighting market in North America. Due to the population boom, the demand for food products is anticipated to increase in the coming years. This is why numerous countries in North America are focusing on greenhouse and indoor farming techniques to increase their agricultural yield significantly. With the growing popularity of the concepts of horticulture and indoor crop cultivation, the North America horticulture lighting market is expected to pace up quickly in the near future as the farmers are adopting big data technologies, predictive analytics, the internet of things, and automation in the farming techniques. For example, The Vineland Research and Innovation Centre, a Canadian research organization, is currently testing a robot that picks mushrooms. Such developments and research initiatives taken in the horticulture field are driving the growth of the North America horticulture lighting market. Rising government initiatives is among the other factors expected to positively influence the demand for horticulture lighting in North America. Furthermore, in case of COVID-19, North America is the world’s worst affected region due to coronavirus outbreak, specially the US. North America is an important market for the growth of horticulture lighting products owing to the presence of developed countries such as the US and Canada in this region. Large no. of farmers has been affected by coronavirus in North America, threatening access to agricultural labor and disrupting worldwide supply chains. However, for indoor farming, it has offered an opportunity. In vertical farming, the batches of crops can be watered individually and ignited with the help of LED lights, enabling them to be grown year-round with less resource. Nevertheless, the factory and business shutdowns across the US, Canada, and Mexico negatively impacted the sales of horticulture lighting products, such as LED lights and fluorescent lamps. COVID-19 has had a severe impact on logistics operations, transportation, and trade activity across North America.

Based on technology, the LED lights segment led the North America horticulture lighting market in 2019. LED lights are made from a very thin layer of doped semiconductor material. An LED emits colored light at a particular spectral wavelength, depending on the semiconductor material used and the amount of doping. The ability of LEDs to separate waste heat from the illumination allows the placement of LEDs near plant canopies without the risk of plants overheating. However, the cost of LED light bulbs is higher than the other horticulture lighting technologies, such as fluorescent lamps and HID lights. While working in indoor farms, the personnel need to use eye protection, since LEDs can be harmful to human eyes. Durability and easy availability of LED lights is the main reason for their success in market, which ultimately drives the North America horticulture lighting market.
