LED Lighting Market Trends:

Rising Demand for Energy-Efficient and Cost-Saving Lighting Solutions

The escalating demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective lighting solutions among the masses across the world is primarily propelling the LED lighting market demand. LEDs convert a higher percentage of electrical energy into light, which saves a significant amount of energy. Individuals and government authorities across the globe are focusing on energy efficiency. Consequently, various leading companies are widely using LED lighting solutions, which is propelling the LED lighting market demand. Additionally, numerous concerned regulatory authorities of various developing nations are taking initiatives to build sustainable and energy-efficient cities, which is further catalyzing the market for LED lights. For instance, GSMA estimated that China may account for around 4.1 billion IoT connections, which is almost one-third of the worldwide IoT connections, by 2025. In line with this, in February 2023, Signify helped the German municipality of Eichenzell become a future-proof smart city through a smart street lighting solution. Its BrightSites solution enabled Eichenzell to cater to next-generation IoT applications and future 5G densification. Signify installed LED lighting, which the Interact City System manages. Eichenzell can continuously monitor and manage all lights from a single dashboard. Furthermore, in January 2023, Savant company GE Lighting announced the expansion of its smart home ecosystem, called Cync. Cync launched its entire Dynamic Effects entertainment lineup, which included 16 million presets, colors, custom light shows, on-device music syncing, and other features. Such initiatives are projected to propel the LED lighting market share in the coming years. 

Increasing Environmental Concerns Among Individuals

The growing adoption of LED lighting on account of the increasing environmental awareness among individuals and government authorities is further catalyzing the market for LED lighting solutions. People are increasingly preferring sustainable lighting solutions that assist in reducing pollution in the environment. Considering this, various key manufacturers are introducing sustainable and energy-efficient lighting solutions. For instance, in July 2023, Signify Malaysia introduced a whole range of sustainable and energy-efficient lighting products for the Malaysian market. These products included Philips Ultra Efficient LED and Philips Solar Lighting solutions. Philips Ultra Efficient LED has advanced LED design and optics technology, consisting of a range of LED bulbs and LED tubes that consume 60% less energy than standard LED products of the same category. Moreover, it could deliver up to 50,000 hours of light and more than 3.5x the lifetime usage. In line with this, the Philips Solar Lighting range has a selection of solar products, such as solar wall lights, solar flood lights, solar garden or landscape lighting products, and others. Similarly, government bodies across the world are also making significant investments in upgrading the lighting infrastructure and installing environment-friendly lighting solutions. For instance, in June 2023, government bodies in the United States collaborated with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to facilitate energy enhancements in K-12 schools nationwide. They have funded US$ 178 Million. This financial support helped these education facilities to undertake projects that were focused on minimizing energy expenditures, reducing emissions levels, and developing enhanced LED lighting solutions. 

Favorable Government Initiatives

Governing agencies of various countries are encouraging the adoption of energy-efficient lighting solutions to curb pollution in the environment. They are introducing energy saving and tax benefits. For instance, the Indonesian government issued a 2015 Government Regulation No. 18, a series of preferential tax policies to attract domestic and foreign investment for LED, thereby providing low-cost consumer purchases. Similarly, Japan planned to implement Japan's Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) draft to achieve at least a 50% reduction of global GHG emissions by 2050. This can be achieved by increasing the utilization of LED bulbs and other LED lighting solutions. Besides this, the government entities of North America are extensively investing in connected streetlights. Numerous communities in the region have already benefited from street and roadway lighting projects. For instance, Grand Rapids city council members approved a US$ 9.46 Million contract in February 2021 to upgrade all of the city's street lights to LEDs.
