Market Insights
LEDs (Light-Emitting Diodes) are semiconductor devices that emit light when passed through an electric current. Unlike traditional bulbs, they do not have filament or gas-filled tubes instead, it consists of semiconductor materials made of gallium arsenide, gallium nitride, or other compound semiconductors. When compared to traditional lighting technologies, it possesses various advantages like better energy efficiency, a longer lifespan, and being highly durable & resistant to shock & vibration. LEDs will be the future of lighting & display technology as it continues to replace the current lighting system. LED material based on materials can be majorly classified into 4 major materials - substrate, wafer, epitaxy, and phosphor. These materials are used in multiple applications, with some of them being general lighting, automotive lighting, and backlighting.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the LED materials market suffered majorly due to disruptions in the supply chain across the globe. The demand for LED materials fell drastically as demand for various industries like residential and commercial buildings fell in both developed and developing nations. Though after the pandemic, once the manufacturing and supply chain restarted, the market was set to bounce back from this decline. Due to all these factors, the market is forecast to grow at an excellent CAGR of around 10.5% during the forecasting period.
There are multiple factors driving the LED materials market, some of them are the ban on the usage of incandescent bulbs in multiple countries which will directly lead to shifting to LEDs, increasing adoption of new technologies is giving rise to the adoption of LEDs in camera, high-definition television, camcorder, etc., and increasing usage of LEDs in general and automotive lightings. The only restraining factor is the lack of awareness of LED advantages by the consumer. Overall, the LED materials market is estimated to reach a value of US$ 25.28 Billion in 2028.

Resin Type
The market is segmented into substrate, wafer, epitaxy, phosphor, and others. Wafer LED material will remain the dominant type in the LED materials market. The reason for this is that material is highly used in microelectronic devices. Also, these materials with the size of 6 & 8-inch sizes are highly cost-effective. And lastly, the yield of large-diameter wafer materials is far better than any other material. Hence, the dominance of these materials in the LED materials market.
Application Type
The market is segmented into general lighting, automotive lighting, backlighting, and others. General lighting will be the largest application as well as the fastest-growing application type in the overall LED materials market during the forecasting period. The dominance of general lighting is because of the huge demand of LEDs in energy-efficient lighting. And because they give more light per power output, they are finding very high applications in streetlights, downlights, track lights, and other such applications for residential and commercial purposes.
Regional Analysis
Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest market, with more than 35% share of the LED material market over the forecasting period. This is due to the fact that the region has seen increased usage of LEDs in general illumination. Also, the surging use of semiconductor devices and the increasing transportation sector will drive the dominance of the region. Also, Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market for LED materials over the forecast period as the region has fast expanding infrastructure over the forecasted period. Also, the region is a manufacturing hub of LEDs with multiple companies planning expansion of LEDs for automotive and other such applications.
