The Global Specialty Lighting Market size is expected to reach $8.3 billion by 2026, rising at a market growth of 8.8% CAGR during the forecast period. The key factors for the growth of the industry are the growing number of live music activities and concerts; stringent government restrictions on air, water and surface disinfection; increasing prevalence and acceptance of surgical lighting for minor and large surgical procedures; and reducing costs and increasing prevalence of LEDs.

Entertainment lighting is leading the market for specialty lighting.
