(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 19, 2018 ) Light therapy, also referred to as phototherapy, is a type of therapy that involves exposure to light that is brighter than indoor light though not as bright as direct sunlight. This therapy is often used in the treatment of conditions such as depression, jet lag, and sleep disorders. Light therapy is also used to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD), as it helps reset the circadian rhythms, which controls the sleep-wake cycle.
According to world Health Organization (WHO), depression is a common mental disorder. Globally, over 300 million people of all age groups suffer from depression every year. The medical application of light therapy includes treatment of skin diseases and skin rejuvenation as well as treatment of inflammation diseases such as psoriasis and acne. Cancer cells are killed by administering certain drugs, which are activated by certain kinds of light, thus playing a major role in treatment of cancer. According to WHO, psoriasis affects around 2% of the world population, with nearly two thirds of people having mild form while others having extensive involvement of skin.

Light therapy causes photo-oxidation and thus a primary treatment method for neonatal jaundice, eczema, and psoriasis. Narrow band ultraviolet (UVB) and broad band UVB phototherapy are issued for treatment of skin disorders. Increasing applications, favorable reimbursement policies, and insurance for such treatments is expected to boost demand for the light therapy.
LED light therapy is more effective than conventional therapy, as it emits blue and red light, which are beneficial for treating acne and wrinkles. Markets in developed countries are witnessing increasing demand for light therapy products due to the geographic location and high prevalence of SAD. Adoption of light therapy devices such as light boxes and handled devices are projected to increase at very high rate over the forecast period, owing to increasing prevalence of skin-related diseases, which in turn, is caused by increasing adoption of unhealthy lifestyle and eating habits among the populace. Growth of the light therapy market is expected to be hampered due to shortage of funding for light therapy research and post treatment side effects.
