The technological innovations such as the development of low energy LED lights in the livestock industry aim at improving productivity in the livestock business and make the farmer’s life easier. Grow light technology helps in expanding the hours of the natural daylight, which improves the health of the animals. Artificial lighting, such as LED lighting, fluorescent lights, can extend the productivity of animals. However, lack of information towards the adoption of technology for smart livestock farming, especially in developing countries, is hampering the overall growth of the market for livestock grow lights.

U.K. held a significant share in the European market in 2018 owing to the adoption of U.S. style intensive factory farming for poultry, cattle, and swine. Countries such as U.K. and Germany are expected to generate considerable revenue in the coming years owing to presence of several lighting manufacturers for farm animals. In the Asia Pacific region, China and India are expected to portray a significant growth rate over the forecast period. The adoption of smart technologies for farms in order to reduce input cost is driving the market for livestock grow lights in the Asia Pacific region.

Type Insights

Based on type, the market has been further segregated into fluorescent, incandescent, light-emitting diode (LED), and high-intensity discharge (HID). The fluorescent light segment dominated the market for livestock grow lights in 2018 and accounted for more than 35% of the total market share. Fluorescent lights are the primary light source in dairy production. They are highly energy-efficient compared to the incandescent light bulbs, which have long life cycles, and provide good quality light for animals. Furthermore, better performance of fluorescent lights as compared to high-intensity discharge lamps and the incandescent light bulb is expected to continue dominating the market over the forecast period.

The LED light segment is projected to exhibit the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Increasing usage of LED lights in barns owing to higher energy efficiency, extended durability, and fully dimmable features is expected to drive segment growth. Besides, LEDs require minimal maintenance and have a longer lifespan. LED lights provide a wide array of the spectrum that could be tailored to the required spectrum as per the spectral sensitivity of the animals. By optimizing radiation and various spectrum levels, farmers are expected to build a lighting environment for animal wellbeing.

Livestock Insights

The cattle segment dominated the market for livestock grow lights in 2018 and held the largest share exceeding 60% owing to the increasing number of cattle and production of cattle across the world. Grow lights help to improve the output of milk production from dairy cattle in dairy farms, whereas in beef cattle, grow light helps in stimulating the muscle growth of beef to increase meat production. The cattle industry had more than USD 50.2 billion of production in 2018 in the U.S. The growing demand for dairy products such as cheese, milk, butter, and yogurt in developed and developing economies is expected to drive the demand for grow lights in cattle farms.

The poultry segment is expected to register a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. The aggressiveness of turkey and chicken is reduced when kept in low lighting conditions, which makes them less active, and they may put on weight owing to the presence of grow lights in the barns. Layers and broilers are domesticated in order to produce meat and eggs to serve increasing consumption. Furthermore, the chick’s feathers are extremely reflective in grow lights, which helps the hen to calculate the health of its chicks and allows it to take more care for a healthier chick with more feathers by observing the reflection. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the rising consumption of chicken across the world.

Installation Type Insights

The retrofit installation segment dominated the livestock grow lights market in 2018. The segment is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period. Retrofit can be done rapidly and cheaply, as it is a temporary solution before a considerable renovation of the barns. Moreover, a retrofit can be successful with multiple bedding sources, including sand, sawdust, and Syracuse fiber, which provides flexibility for producers to source different bedding in the future.

On the other hand, the new installation segment is expected to register significant growth during the forecast period. The segment is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.6% from 2019 to 2025. In the new installation, the overall fixture is changed including the ballasts and the lamps. The ballasts regulate the current in the lamp and provides enough voltage to start the lamp. The increasing population of the livestock and need to meet the demand for the animal-based products by the consumers leads to the expansion of the farms, which propels the demand for a new installation of the barns.

Light Color Type Insights

Based on light color type, the market for livestock grow lights has been segregated into red, green, white, and blue. The blue color segment dominated the market in 2018 and is estimated to continue dominating the market for livestock grow lights in the coming years. The blue color segment accounted for more than 35% of the market share. The exposure of blue light during the daytime enhances health and increases the productivity of the livestock. For instance, dairy cows produce more milk, and beef cattle grow rapidly and reach the maturity level at an early stage. In addition, blue color light relieves stress and helps in promoting the growth of the chickens.

Global livestock grow lights Market

The white color segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR in the coming years. The use of white color light in the livestock farms resembles the color temperature of natural daylight. The animals feel more relaxed in the white light. White light consists of wavelengths of the visible spectrum; however, it differs in terms of color temperature depending on the spectral characteristics. Two colors are used in the poultry houses, such as 4100K light, known as neutral-white, which is close to the color temperature of light sources, and 6,065K light, known as cold-white, which contains a higher power emission from the shorter wavelength. The 6,065K cold-white light is the natural choice of an ancestor of the modern chickens.

Regional Insights

Europe region dominated the market for livestock grow lights in 2018 by accounting for more than 30% revenue share of the global market. The adoption of smart livestock technologies to increase farm's profit is driving the market for livestock grow lights in the region.
