The market is driven by a myriad of factors, including continuous LED advancements and innovations in LED technology. From LED displays to LED signage and LED strips, the versatility and efficiency of LED solutions are reshaping various industries. However, challenges such as the complexity of LED engineering and ensuring sustainable LED production processes remain prevalent. Nonetheless, ongoing LED research and LED developments promise to address these challenges, paving the way for further growth and adoption of LED technology across diverse applications.
The growing adoption of energy-efficient lighting technologies is a major driver boosting the market. The electricity demand has increased due to the rising need for lighting, which currently accounts for about 20% of global electricity consumption. To address this, governments worldwide are promoting energy-efficient lighting technologies. LED applications, LED innovations, research, developments, and production are all areas receiving significant attention as part of this push for energy efficiency. Some countries have even banned incandescent bulbs, leading to a greater adoption of energy-efficient alternatives like halogen, CFL, LFL, and LED lighting technologies. These products, in particular, are expected to be more widely adopted between 2017 and 2022 due to their cost-effectiveness and energy-saving features. LEDs consume less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and have a longer lifespan. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on developing energy-efficient and eco-friendly solutions, driving market growth.
Moreover, intelligent lighting, which provides automated and energy-efficient capabilities, is becoming more popular. This technology uses sensors to adjust the intensity and duration based on factors such as human motion and occupancy, offering energy and cost savings. With the expansion of wireless communication infrastructure, intelligent products are finding applications in residential, outdoor, and architectural lighting, with LEDs being the preferred choice. These applications highlight the benefits of LED lighting, including energy efficiency, advanced technology, and various fixture options. Governments around the world have introduced programs to promote the adoption of energy-efficient products and reduce carbon emissions. Certifications like ENERGY STAR, DLC, and Lighting Design Lab ensure that products meet specific guidelines for color quality, lifespan, energy efficiency, and optical output. For example, ENERGY STAR-certified LED products consume 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs. With these advantages, the use of LEDs is expected to surpass traditional technologies across all sectors in the coming years.
The growing traction of intelligent lighting systems is a major factor hindering the growth of the market. The industry is undergoing a digital revolution, driven by the adoption of these systems and controls. The demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective solutions is on the rise. These systems utilize movement detection, daylight equalization, and control technology to enhance efficiency. These systems feature smart LED fixtures with built-in sensors that detect natural daylight and adjust accordingly. Wireless controls enable easy customization of lighting settings. Embedded intelligence in these products enables adaptability to changing space requirements, particularly in office buildings. Controllers offer functionalities like dimming, timers, and color-changing options for multiple lights. Smart LED bulbs enhance room ambiance, offering energy efficiency and color control. These bulbs are controlled via hubs connected to the internet, allowing users to manage through mobile apps.
Further, these products with integrated sensors and controls are experiencing high demand, especially in outdoor and industrial applications. These segments require durable lighting solutions that can withstand harsh conditions without frequent maintenance. Lighting control systems with LEDs automatically respond to daylight and occupancy, optimizing energy usage. The longevity of light sources is crucial in industries operating 24/7. These systems not only save energy but also provide valuable data for energy analysis and maintenance purposes.
The high average cost per fixture is a major factor hindering market growth. Despite the declining ASPs of LED lighting products worldwide, adoption is a challenge because of the high average cost per fixture. The initial costs incurred by customers for the installation of these fixtures are comparatively much higher than those of traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs. This initial cost includes the cost of LED fixtures such as wires as well as labor costs. There are a few challenges related to the use of LEDs. For instance, in newly built homes, wiring is not a concern while installing LED bulbs.
However, older homes might require renovation of the electrical system for the safe installation of LED bulbs, which increases the installation cost of LED bulbs. Moreover, if consumers opt for these solutions, they incur additional costs on procurement and installation of the required IoT infrastructure. Furthermore, the price of smart products differs among manufacturers, in the range of USD 15 - USD 180.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
