The global LED chip market size was valued at USD 31.26 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 81.67 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.70% during 2025-2033. Asia Pacific currently dominates the market, holding a significant market share of over 41.0% in 2024. The augmenting demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions, expanding applications in automotive and consumer electronics, ongoing technological advancements, government regulations promoting energy conservation, rapid urbanization, and the increasing focus on sustainable infrastructure development are creating lucrative opportunities in the market.
LED stands for light emitting diode, which is a two-lead semiconductor light source. These are used in a wide range of applications that vary from backlighting in electronic products such as LCD TVs, laptops, and phones, as well as in street lighting and automotive lighting, and general illumination. This can be attributed to the better picture quality offered by LEDs due to their higher degree of power efficiency and brightness. The LED chip, also known as the die, represents the most essential and cost-intensive component of the LED. It is a critical factor in determining the light quality. The chips have different ratings for brightness, wavelength and voltage. After installing the LED chip and passing current through an electrical source, a particular color of light is emitted, which is determined by the dominant wavelength.
These lights are more energy-efficient in terms of power consumption and provide high luminous intensity. They use electroluminescence to produce light without generating heat and convert electricity into energy with minimum wastage. Furthermore, these products have a longer lifespan as compared to incandescent bulbs, which further drives their demand. However, with technological innovations and research and development, the cost of manufacturing LEDs per kilolumen has decreased. This has significantly reduced the average selling price (ASP) of LEDs, making them a preferred choice among consumers. Moreover, incentives provided by governments across the globe to promote the usage of energy-efficient lighting is also elevating the demand for LED products.
