Emergency Light Stick Market

Market Overview:

The global emergency light stick market size reached USD 117.5 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 175.4 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.32% during 2025-2033. Increasing number of events, the launch of innovative product variants, and government initiatives to promote the use of energy efficient lighting solutions represent some of the key factors driving the market.

An emergency light stick is designed to provide illumination in situations wherein the primary lightning system fails or has been turned off. It is also used as a backup light source during power outages, power shortages, natural disasters, and other emergency situations. It is made of a durable plastic tube that contains a chemical mixture and a glass vial or ampoule that holds a small amount of luminol. It is activated by bending and breaking the stick, which causes a chemical reaction that produces light. As it is convenient, reliable, and cost-effective, the demand for emergency light stick is escalating across the globe. 

Emergency Light Stick Market Trends:

The increasing use of emergency light sticks in remote areas wherein traditional lighting sources are unavailable and unreliable represents one of the major factors bolstering the market growth around the world. Moreover, the rising popularity of emergency light sticks for outdoor activities, such as camping, hiking, and boating, is favoring the market growth. In addition, the growing number of night time events and live concerts is catalyzing the demand for emergency light sticks to provide additional lighting and enhance safety and visibility. Apart from this, the expanding number of hospitals, institutions, hotels, offices, and other commercial spaces is positively influencing the demand for emergency light sticks worldwide. Furthermore, product manufacturers are introducing innovative product variants that offer longer duration, multiple colors, and different modes with rechargeable batteries. They are also focusing on launching waterproof and wireless emergency light sticks that enable them to be controlled remotely. Leading players are using light emitting diode (LED) technology that is more energy efficient and long lasting as compared to traditionally used incandescent bulbs. Besides this, due to the increasing instances of natural disasters, emergency light sticks are gaining adoption in areas prone to hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and other severe weather conditions. These sticks help navigate and find ways in the dark and provide a source of light in these situations. Additionally, measures undertaken by governments of numerous countries to promote the use of energy efficient lighting solutions are creating a positive outlook for the market.
