The global light therapy market is experiencing steady and significant growth, emerging as a popular non-invasive treatment for a range of health conditions. According to a recent report from Market Research Future, the market, valued at USD 0.98 billion in 2023, is on track to reach USD 1.56 billion by 2032, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.33% between 2024 and 2032.

Innovations are a key driver of market expansion. The report highlights new, advanced devices like the Luminia Pro line and the ReviveLED Pro, which offer enhanced personalization and greater efficacy for users. These technological advancements are making light therapy more accessible and effective for a wider audience.

Geographically, North America continues to dominate the market, holding a significant 43.20% share of the phototherapy equipment market in 2021. The report also identifies major industry players, including Beurer, Northern Light Technology, BioPhotas, Koninklijke Philips, and Lumie, who are leading the way in innovation and market development.

The light therapy market is diverse, with products segmented by type (Light Box, Floor and Desk Lamps), application (Psoriasis, Vitiligo), and light type (Blue, Red, White). This segmentation reflects the versatility of the treatment and its application across different medical fields and end-user settings, from homecare to dermatology clinics.

As awareness of light therapy's benefits grows and technological innovations continue to evolve, the market is poised for a bright future, offering new and improved treatment options for millions of people worldwide.
