Market Trends of indoor led lighting Industry
The market is driven by increasing population, rising energy-efficient construction of buildings, and government programs to promote LED penetration
- The world's population reached 8 billion people in 2023, up from 7.79 billion in 2020. The largest countries by population included China (1.45 billion), India (1.42 billion), and the US (336.8 million). Furthermore, global employment increased to 3.32 billion people in 2022 from 3.16 billion in 2015, an increase of almost 0.13 billion people. The use of LEDs will increase as more knowledge is spread throughout the population as a result of the rise in the number of employed individuals and population growth.
- Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, worldwide spending on energy-efficient construction increased by an exceptional 11.4% in 2020 to over USD 184 billion, up from USD 165 billion in 2019. The yearly growth rate for investments in energy efficiency surpassed 3% for the first time since 2015. The requirement for additional rooms in a house will result in increased demand for LEDs due to the rise in the development of energy-efficient buildings and to meet the residential needs of the expanding population.
- Globally, launches of new houses have been rising, creating more LED penetration due to the need for illumination. For instance, in India, new launches in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) increased over two-fold to 1,24,652 units in 2022 from 56,883 units in the previous year. Brazil’s affordable housing program also restarted. The Brazilian President announced plans to restart the nationwide federal housing program for low-income individuals in February 2023. The President created the program, named “Minha Casa, Minha Vida,” which translates to “My Home, My Life,” in 2009. Such instances are further expected to raise the demand for LED lighting in the country.
Development of smart cities, expansion of green buildings, and increasing government initiatives to promote the use of energy-efficient lighting systems are expected to drive the growth of the market
- The development of smart cities and homes is being supported by governments in North America, which are also adopting new technology in the residential and commercial sectors. As an illustration, green buildings in the US increased dramatically in 2021 and now exceed USD 83 billion dollars. This demonstrates the expansion of the green building sector, which is crucial for lowering the carbon footprint of the building and real estate industries. As LED is energy efficient, increased construction activity and the adoption of green building practices will encourage its use. As a result, the LED market in the area is expanding.
- Commercial electricity use lasts between 10 and 12 hours every day. Electricity consumption in the industrial sector accounts for 24 hours a day, while in the residential sector, it varies from 5.5 to 7 hours. The demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions is expected to rise in Asia-Pacific, in part because of government initiatives like India's UJALA and SLNP programs, which offer LEDs at reduced prices and LED installation projects for streetlights, respectively, and promote their use in a variety of industries.
- After governments began taking part in and supporting beneficial efforts, the growing need for energy-efficient lighting systems was mainly realized. Numerous governments all over the world are moving swiftly to phase out inefficient light sources through a variety of efforts like performance requirements, labeling, and incentive schemes. For instance, the EU modified requirements under the Ecodesign Directive and the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, which essentially prohibited all fluorescent lighting in 2023 in Europe, where the transition to LED began more than ten years ago.
