By Mounting Type: Surface solutions accelerate retrofits

Recessed luminaires remain the default in greenfield fabs, accounting for 58.7% of 2024 demand. Nonetheless, operators converting fluorescent grids to LED increasingly order surface-mounted housings that bolt to existing T-bar or drywall ceilings without breaching plenum integrity. This retrofit-friendly approach reduces shutdown windows, a decisive factor in vaccine-line upgrades and 300 mm wafer fabs running at near-full utilization.

Surface solutions embed silicone-gasketed housings with tool-less lens release, slashing maintenance time. Pendant systems fill niche applications in bio-safety cabinets and modular ISO 8 suites where adjustable light cones are required. The cleanroom lighting market size for surface-mount units is projected to expand 7.1% annually through 2030.

By End-User Industry: Healthcare narrows the semiconductor gap

Semiconductor plants still dominated 2024 revenue with a 42.1% slice of the cleanroom lighting market, supported by record 300 mm equipment spending that is expected to hit USD 137 billion in 2027. Yet healthcare and life sciences are on a steeper 9.3% CAGR curve, driven by monoclonal-antibody plants and personalized-medicine suites that demand amber, flicker-free LEDs.

Food-and-beverage processors sustain mid-single-digit growth as automated bottling lines require IP65-rated shatter-proof lighting. Aerospace paint hangars and EV battery dry rooms, though smaller volumes, pay premium prices for ultra-uniform lux levels and extended warranties, adding diversity to cleanroom lighting market revenues.
