Agricultural Lighting Market Report 2026

The agricultural lighting market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $7.79 billion in 2025 to $8.84 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing expansion of greenhouse farming operations, increasing demand for year round crop production, rising adoption of controlled environment agriculture practices, expanding urban farming and indoor cultivation activities, increasing focus on improving crop quality and productivity.

The agricultural lighting market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.79 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing integration of smart lighting control systems in agriculture, rising investments in vertical farming infrastructure, increasing demand for sustainable and energy efficient farming technologies, expanding use of precision agriculture techniques, growing adoption of tunable spectrum lighting solutions for crop optimization. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of full spectrum grow lighting systems, growing demand for energy efficient LED agricultural lighting, rising deployment of vertical farming lighting installations, increasing use of supplemental greenhouse lighting solutions, growing focus on crop yield optimization through controlled environment agriculture.

The rising crop yields are expected to propel the growth of the agricultural lighting market going forward. Crop yields refer to the quantity of agricultural produce harvested per unit area of land over a defined period. The increasing demand for crop yield is contributing to market expansion due to the growing adoption of controlled environment agriculture (CEA), where artificial lighting supports optimized plant growth, prolonged growing cycles, and enhanced output independent of climatic conditions. The escalating need to produce higher food volumes from limited arable land is further pushing farmers toward agricultural lighting solutions, as these technologies directly enhance photosynthesis efficiency and support year-round, high-intensity crop cultivation. For instance, in January 2024, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, a US-based federal agency, corn for grain production in 2023 reached a record high of 15.3 billion bushels, up 12 percent from the 2022 estimate, with the average yield also reaching a record high of 177.3 bushels per acre, compared to 173.4 bushels per acre in 2022. Therefore, rising crop yields are propelling the growth of the agricultural lighting market.

Leading companies operating in the agricultural lighting market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as integrated lighting management platforms, to enhance crop performance, improve energy efficiency, and support sustainable cultivation practices. Integrated lighting management platforms refer to technological systems that allow growers to control, monitor, and optimize horticultural lighting across different greenhouse setups, ensuring precise light delivery while safeguarding existing investments. For example, in February 2026, Gavita International B. V., a Netherlands-based supplier of professional greenhouse lighting solutions, launched the Agrolux Operating System, a future-proof integrated lighting management platform compatible with all generations of Agrolux LED luminaires as well as third-party brands. Designed to assist growers with smarter and more efficient cultivation, the system supports both powerline and wireless communication, integrates horticultural lighting protocols, and features AI-based light strategies for advanced automation, monitoring, and control.

In November 2023, Acuity Brands, Inc., a US-based technology company, acquired the Arize family of horticulture lighting products from Current Lighting Solutions, LLC, for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Acuity Brands, Inc. expands its controlled environment agriculture offerings by integrating the Arize horticulture lighting products to deliver growers advanced, energy-efficient LED lighting solutions for greenhouses and indoor farming. Current Lighting Solutions LLC is a US-based manufacturer of agricultural lighting.
