Consistent and appropriate lighting conditions aid in maintaining high levels of egg production throughout the year.

Installation Insights

Retrofit accounted for the largest market revenue share in 2023. Retrofit installations require minimal downtime, allowing farmers to maintain normal farming activities without significant interruptions. This is important in livestock farming, where continuous operation is critical for animal health and productivity. The ability to upgrade lighting systems without causing significant disruptions makes retrofit solutions suitable for farmers pursuing enhancing their operations efficiently and smoothly.

The new-installation segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. New installations allow farmers to leverage advanced solutions such as LED lights, which offer superior energy efficiency and advanced control systems. These modern technologies significantly enhance the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the lighting system, leading to better performance and higher productivity in livestock farming operations. Additionally, new installations provide the flexibility to design and implement lighting systems personalized to the specific needs of different livestock and farming environments. This customization ensures that the lighting conditions are optimized for poultry, cattle, swine, or other livestock requirements, driving its demand in the market.

Light Color Type Insights

The blue color segment accounted for the largest market revenue share in 2023. Blue light supports better reproductive outcomes in livestock, such as cattle and swine, influencing hormonal cycles and enhancing productive performance. The positive effects of blue light on reproduction drive its adoption in livestock farming, particularly in operations focused on breeding and egg production. Blue light exposure during the daytime enhances the health and productivity of livestock. 

The white segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. White lights are highly energy-efficient, consuming less power while providing effective illumination. This leads to lower electricity bills and operational costs for farmers, making white light an economically convenient option. Additionally, it is suitable for different types of livestock, including poultry, cattle, swine, and more. The broad spectrum of white light makes it adaptable to different farming environments and specific needs.
