The  light therapy market is on a promising growth trajectory, with projections indicating it will reach USD 1,012.1 million in 2024 and expand to USD 1,586.8 million by 2034. This growth reflects a steady Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.6% over the forecast period.

In 2023, the light therapy market was valued at USD 1,017.2 million, demonstrating its established presence and continued expansion within the therapeutic landscape. Light therapy, also known as phototherapy, has gained recognition for its efficacy in treating various conditions, including mood disorders, sleep disorders, and skin conditions.

Recent studies highlight the benefits of light therapy in managing seasonal affective disorder (SAD), depression, and sleep problems, reinforcing its therapeutic value. The increasing awareness and adoption of light therapy for these applications are contributing to the market’s robust growth.

There has been a notable increase in the prevalence of both insomnia and personal depression in recent years. Apart from depression and insomnia, light therapy has gained popularity due to disturbed sleep patterns. Due to these circumstances, sales of progressive treatment equipment—which uses superior UV light to treat various disorders—have increased significantly.

“While hospitals continue to be the dominating setting for light therapy, the nature of the market is changing. Light therapy is also being undertaken at salons, commercial offices, and even at home. Thus, players in the light therapy market can look outside of traditional settings to expand their demand,” says an analyst at FMI.
