I think more specialized HID lamps, such as ones for horticulture, projection, printing, UV curing, blacklight, etc will probably see limited production. Especially the ones as part of a specialized piece of equipment that would be cost prohibitive to replace.
Now for general lighting unfortunately, I think we'll see a slow decline in HID production, especially as we get closer to the 2030s as countries start to ban HID sources for general lighting.
I also wonder how much longer will the ballasts be made for, I'm guessing they probably still make them since the still make fluorescent ballasts, even T12 ballasts.
