Europe LED Lighting Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The Europe LED lighting market size was nearly USD 20.03 Billion in 2024. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.20% during 2025-2034, to reach around USD 48.30 Billion by 2034.

Key Trends in the Market

LED (light-emitting diode) lighting is one of the most energy-efficient and eco-friendly lighting technologies. It consumes less energy to generate the same amount of light as compared to other types of lighting such as linear fluorescent lighting and circadian rhythm electric lights. There are different types of LED lighting, including alphanumeric LEDs, LED strips, colour LEDs, and flash LEDs, among others.

• The lifespan of LED lighting solutions is superior to other lighting types such as incandescent, fluorescent, and low-pressure sodium vapour (LPS). LEDs can generally last for about 50,000 to 100,000 hours, whereas an average incandescent bulb only lasts up to 1,000 hours. This, coupled with their energy efficiency, low maintenance, and high-quality radiation, is supporting the Europe LED lighting market demand.
• Governments and organisations in Europe are actively introducing various initiatives to promote energy efficiency and sustainability, become carbon neutral, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For instance, in September 2021, the energy labelling and ecodesign regulations, adopted by the EU in 2019, came into effect. The regulations aimed to save 7 million tons of CO2 emissions by 2030 and ban halogen and fluorescent bulbs while promoting energy-efficient technologies like LED.
• The Europe LED lighting market growth can be attributed to advancements in LED technologies. Smart LED lighting systems that can be remotely controlled, provide enhanced functionality, and offer features like scheduling, customisation, and energy management, among others, are also gaining significant popularity in the country.

Increasing research activities aimed at developing innovative manufacturing techniques and materials that can enhance the versatility, durability, and energy efficiency of LED lighting are likely to favour the market growth in the forecast period.

• LED lights are eco-friendly as they are made without the use of toxic elements and ensure low heat emissions. This enables the users to mitigate their carbon footprints and promote a sustainable future. Moreover, LED lights ensure less energy wastage, they convert 95% of their energy into light with only 5% being squandered as heat.

Market Share by End Use

As per the Europe LED lighting market analysis, the demand for LED lighting solutions in residential space is rising due to their durability, energy-efficiency, sustainability, and affordability as compared to conventional lighting such as Compact Fluorescent Light (CFLs). Moreover, LEDs are compact and directional, thus they are ideal for compact spaces such as kitchen counters and under-shelf lighting. As this lighting is available in various shapes and designs, it is also used to enhance the aesthetic appeal of residential spaces.

Market Share by Region

The United Kingdom accounts for a significant portion of the Europe LED lighting market share. According to the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), around 20% of the electricity generated in the UK is utilised in lighting applications and upgrading from conventional lighting to LEDs can save costs up to 80% for a business. Hence, businesses in the country are actively adopting efficient lighting options, including LEDs, to reduce their electricity consumption.

In September 2021, the UK government banned the sale of halogen light bulbs to combat climate change. Through this initiative, it aims to increase sales of LED light bulbs to 85% by 2030. Moreover, as the government aims to hit net-zero corporate carbon emissions by 2030, the demand for LED lighting with enhanced efficiency is increasing.
