Executive Summary

Technological advances in light therapy coupled with a rising inclination in light therapy treatment are having a positive impact on industry growth. Continuous improvements in the clinical benefit of light therapy are also augmenting the market demand.

Human beings require sunlight, and when they don't have enough, they can be groggy, unfocused and irritable. To make it worse, as days get shorter in the fall and winter, many individuals are affected by SAD and its less severe relative, the “winter blues.” For the large numbers of people who generally do not get enough full-spectrum sunlight, light therapy devices can help them be happier year-round.

Light therapy has quickly become widespread among individuals who are concerned about their fitness and health. It has earned recognition as an affordable method of therapy that can benefit mental health, skincare, energy, sleep cycles and muscle tone. Because they are painless, easy to use (including at home) and free of side-effects, the therapy devices have become more acceptable.

Although light therapy can be used to treat a broad range of problems, both mental and physical, no single type of light therapy can take care of all such problems. There are lights of different colors and many different spectra, and each color of light has its own specific set of uses and features. Individuals cannot attain the relief provided by blue light therapy by going through red light therapy, or vice versa.

Moreover, the type of device people will use might change due to the change in the kind of light. Therefore, users of light therapy need to know about the types of lights used so they can know what kind or color of light, as well as what type of device, they need,
