According to estimates published by WHO in 2018, skin diseases affected approximately 900 million of the population globally. The increasing adoption of non-invasive treatments and the increasing prevalence of skin diseases are the drivers for the market. Moreover, the market players are involved in various strategic initiatives such as product launches, which are fostering the industry’s growth.

For instance, in June 2023, BioPhotas, Inc. announced a partnership with Ulta Beauty. This partnership is expected to meet the skincare need of customers across the U.S. in 55 different locations with the help of the Celluma PRO and Celluma ELITE models. These models are FDA-cleared to treat various conditions such as acne, wrinkles, and joint pains.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a moderate impact on the light therapy market due to stringent lockdowns, disrupted supply chains, and strain on hospitals, which led to reduced production and availability of light therapy devices. This was compounded by the decreased demand for these products due to lockdowns, consumer spending cuts, and the avoidance of hospitals and clinics for non-emergency reasons. The economic slowdown caused by the pandemic also contributed to a decline in consumer spending. However, the rise in online retail and e-commerce had a positive impact on the market.

The growing incidence of skin-related diseases, depressive disorders such as winter blues, and seasonal affective disorder, along with rapid technological advancements in healthcare, are driving the growth of the market. Clinical depression is a common mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and a loss of interest in activities. It also causes physical symptoms such as fatigue, changes in appetite and sleep disorder, and lack of focus.

Depression is caused by a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. As per the estimates of WHO in 2021, depression affected approximately 264 million people globally. According to the International Labor Organization, around 50% of the youth population was affected by depressive disorders due to COVID-19 and the lockdown, which in turn, increased the demand for light therapy devices.

In addition, increasing awareness amongst consumers regarding the benefits of light therapy devices is expected to further propel the market growth. Moreover, home-held devices are further propelling the demand for light therapy devices due to their properties such as portability, wireless communication, and dosage regulation.

They are used for skin treatment and utilize technologies such as ultrasonic waves and microcurrents to improve the appearance of the skin.

The light visor segment is expected to progress at a CAGR of 4.9% over the forecast period, which is attributed to the increase in the number of aircraft travelers that has led to various conditions, including insomnia, eye fatigue, and jet lag.

The aforesaid conditions are attributed to unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and more screen time.

The SAD/winter blues segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. This is attributed to more screen time and unhealthy lifestyles such as a lack of physical activities, an unhealthy diet, and staying indoors for longer periods during winter.

The blue light segment dominated the market in terms of a revenue share of 42.8% in 2023 and is also expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period.
