Who is the largest manufacturer of LED lights?

The largest manufacturer of LED lights in the world in 2026 is generally considered to be Signify, formerly known as Philips Lighting, based in the Netherlands. Signify is the global leader by revenue and production volume, selling under the Philips brand for consumer and professional lighting as well as Interact and other professional brands. It produces billions of LED lamps, luminaires, and components annually and holds a vast portfolio of LED patents. Close behind are other massive conglomerates like Acuity Brands in the US, which is the largest in North America for commercial fixtures, and MLS, also known as Forest Lighting, in China, which is the largest by sheer number of LED packages and components produced, as it supplies chips and lamps to many other brands. Other major manufacturers include Osram and its spin-off Ledvance in Germany, Nichia and Panasonic in Japan, and Cree Lighting and GE Lighting, now Savant, in the United States. In terms of LED chips themselves, which are the core of all LED lights, Nichia from Japan is historically the largest chip manufacturer by revenue, while Chinese companies like Sanan Optoelectronics produce the highest volume of chips. So for finished bulbs and fixtures, Signify Philips is the largest brand consumers recognize.
