Market Introduction
Horticulture lighting is an artificial light used to facilitate photosynthesis. This process is beneficial in areas where adequate sunlight is absent. Horticulture lighting also enhances the growth of plants by illuminating them with artificial light. Horticulture's LED lighting technology is gaining traction in the market due to its numerous advantages, such as low power consumption and existing technologies, which enable lower energy costs. Horticultural lighting is used in urban agriculture, multi-layer cultivation, supplemental lighting, and daylight-free cultivation. Due to increasing awareness of sustainable farming, researchers, governments, and organizations have taken initiatives to improve horticulture with efficient and adequate lighting. Increase in demand for advanced lighting-related technologies is expected to boost the growth of the North America horticulture lighting market. Some companies have started to support the farmers by providing financial and technical support to establish vertical farms. Such developments in vertical agriculture are boosting the growth of the North America horticulture lighting market. Thus, the factor like rising government initiatives is expected to create a significant demand for horticulture lighting in the coming years, which is further anticipated to drive the North America horticulture lighting market. Moreover, in case of COVID-19, North America is the world’s worst affected region due to coronavirus outbreak specially 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. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a major issue for all the farmers in the region, 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 had a severe impact on logistics operations, transportation, and trade activity across North America.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The horticulture lighting market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 830.5 million in 2019 to US$ 3597.2 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 20.7 % from 2020 to 2027.Rising importance of vertical farming is expected to upswing the horticulture lighting market in North America. Increase in population creates a huge demand for food, which cannot be fulfilled only through conventional or outdoor farming. In order to meet the increasing food demand, various countries in North America are designing and implementing vertical farms, which includes cultivating plants on vertically inclined surfaces. Vertical farming produces crops by incorporating several technologies, such as robotics, big data analytics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI); thus, it produces healthy crops without any agronomic constraint. The environmental degradation caused by traditional farming methods allows various countries in North America to opt for vertical farming. It ensures pollution degradation and leads to growing food production and mitigates resources. Several advantages of vertical farming over other methods is expected to boost up the growth of the North America horticulture lighting market.
