Increase in private-owned dwellings and government policy to drive the market for LED
- In North America, the US and Canada are the main cities in terms of revenue and population. The current population of Northern America is 375.5 million as of June 2023. The United States occupies a major share of the people in this region, accounting for 331 million, followed by Canada at 37.7 million by 2020. 82.6 % of the population lives in urban areas (304.7 million people in 2019). The population in this region is growing with a 0.6% change. Thus, the increase in population is expected to create more LED penetration and increase the need for illumination in the country.
- In Canada and the US, disposable income is high, resulting in rising spending power of individuals and affording more money on new residential spaces. Canada's monthly earnings stood at USD 3,464 in Mar 2023, reduced from USD 3,500 in Feb 2023. Even though it is showing a slight decline in average monthly earnings, it has a high purchasing value compared to other nations, as it is a developed country in North America.
- The number of privately owned dwelling units authorized by building permits in May 2023 was 1,491,000. This is 5.2% more than the April 2023 rate, which was increased from 1,417,000. The number of privately owned homes started in May was 1,631,000. This is 5.7% above the May 2022 rate of 1,543,000 and is 21.7% higher than the revised April estimate of 1,340,000.
- As per the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) section 179D, the maximum tax deduction jumped to USD 5 per sq. ft. of upgraded space in 2023 under the new regulations, which has USD 1.88 per sq. ft. deductions in 2022 (but is set to rise to USD 2.00 per sq. ft.). Eligible projects include interior lighting, HVAC, and building envelopes. Such instances are expected to surge the demand for LED lighting in the region.

Upgradation and replacement of old lamps, increasing government initiatives to promote the use of LED lights
- Each customer type—residential, commercial, and industrial—uses around one-third of the total amount of electricity. The average selling price of a home in Canada climbed by 31.6% Y-o-Y in March 2021. Demand for detached homes in smaller areas increased during the pandemic due to historically low lending rates and a need for more space. However, low mortgage rates and rapid population increase drive a high demand for new homes. Residential building investment increased for 11 consecutive months in March 2021, up 7.6% to CAD 14.0 billion (USD 10.99 billion). The region's LED market is expanding due to the rise in construction activities.
- Electricity demand in the commercial sector tends to be around 8-10 hours. Electricity use in the industrial sector tends not to fluctuate through the day or year. Electricity demand in the residential sector varies for about 7 to 9 hours. The demand for illumination is also rising as there are more roads and highways across the US. In the US, public highway and street building cost an average of USD 89.4 billion per month on average in 2017 and USD 99.9 billion per month on average in 2021. As a result, communities are spending more money to upgrade or replace their old street lighting infrastructure, encouraging the use of LEDs.
- The Canadian government has launched several programs to cut down on the amount of energy used for lighting, including ENERGY STAR in Canada. Furthermore, in March 2021, the Canadian city of Laval approved a plan to upgrade 37,000 lamps to LED luminaires with smart controls. The switch to LED lighting is anticipated to save USD 2.75 million annually. The adoption of LEDs in the area is facilitated by these efforts.
