- LED lighting has numerous advantages over traditional technologies like incandescent and fluorescent lighting. One of the significant disadvantages of LED lights is the high initial investment required for their production. LED light manufacturing involves several stages, including wafer growth, chip fabrication, packaging, and testing. These factors add up to the high capital investments end users require compared to other fixtures.
- The spread of the COVID-19 epidemic resulted in the temporary closure of stadiums, parks, and travel restrictions, lowering the adoption of outdoor lighting. Furthermore, the pandemic raised awareness of the importance of good lighting in creating healthy and safe indoor environments.
North America Outdoor Lighting Market Trends
LED Lighting is Expected to Hold Major Share
- LEDs have steadily progressed in the region, from traditional standalone bulb lighting to integral luminaire system designs. According to the Department of Energy, demand for LED lights in the United States is expected to rise between 2020 and 2035, particularly for outdoor applications. LED lighting will be used in 93% of outdoor lighting installations by 2025, making it the most widely used type across all industries. Such factors are expected to drive the region's LED lighting solutions.
- One of the key factors driving the region's adoption of LED lighting is the region's growing need for energy-efficient lighting systems, which is being met by falling LED product prices and stringent government regulations. Energy savings from LED lighting could reach 569 TWh annually by 2035, according to the United States DOE, which is equivalent to the annual energy production of over 921,000-megawatt power plants. Most lighting installations are expected to be LED-based by 2035, creating opportunities for outdoor lighting applications.
- LED is a highly energy-efficient lighting technology that has the potential to fundamentally change the future of lighting in the United States, according to the Department of Energy. When compared to incandescent bulbs and tube lights, LED light demand has steadily increased due to their higher brightness for the same amount of electricity used. In 2021, the United States imported approximately USD 12.5 billion in lighting fixtures and fittings from the rest of the world, according to U.N. Comtrade.
- The growing demand for energy-efficient lighting systems has been broadly recognized since the government began participating in and encouraging favorable initiatives driving the demand for LED lighting technologies. In the United States, for instance, the Department of Energy announced updated rules to phase out incandescent light bulbs from production and sale before a ban takes effect in 2023. Such initiatives will drive LED lighting demand.
- LED display outdoor applications are expanding. Large-format displays are becoming increasingly common in football and baseball stadiums in the United States, where sporting events are prevalent, captivating the audience with presentations featuring athletes' plays and dynamic visuals and sound. Large LED-based solutions are being installed at major sporting events, which is driving the market.
- Outdoor sports field lighting is used to illuminate the field or stage in professional and amateur arenas and stadiums. For example, the World Athletics Championships will be held in July 2022 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, United States. A LED signboard with the TDK corporate logo was installed, which illuminated the athletes. This is the first time TDK power supply products designed for industrial equipment have been chosen for this LED signboard at the 2022 event.
- Furthermore, LED lights are gaining popularity in the fields of architectural and landscape design, providing several advantages to designers and their clients. SloanLED, for example, introduced Symphony Area Light in November 2022, a dynamic addition to the Symphony Series of architectural lighting fixtures for the United States and Canada. Symphony Area Light blends seamlessly into the architectural landscape with its three housing sizes and four modular in-field, interchangeable mounting options, delivering strong performance and uniformity for greater pole spacing and minor power density.
