APAC is estimated to contribute 58% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. One of the main factors that are significantly contributing to the growth of the market in APAC is the high use of aircraft in commercial and military applications. In addition, the growth of the aerospace industry in APAC is primarily attributed to an increase in air passenger traffic across the region.
Moreover, emerging economies from APAC, such as India and China, witnessed a surge in air passenger travel in 2022-23, which is primarily attributed to increased spending from the middle-income group. As a result, with many populations untapped across the region, the number of air passengers traveling at domestic and international levels is expected to increase in the upcoming years. Hence, such scenarios are fuelling the investment by airline companies in the procurement of new aircraft. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth in APAC during the forecast period.
The market is driven by the marine sector's demand for safety and visibility solutions, particularly during nighttime vehicle operations. With watercraft, shipping vessels, and cruise ships navigating through seaports and harbors, illuminating devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) play a critical role in visual signaling and hazard avoidance. Trends include the adoption of energy-efficient lighting solutions and LED technology, enhancing visibility while reducing energy consumption. Challenges arise from regulatory compliance and the need for reliable illumination in harsh marine environments, posing design and durability challenges for in the shipbuilding industry.
One of the key factors driving the market growth is the stringent regulatory norms for maritime navigation lights. The Maritime Safety Act mandates the navigation lights on a boat. In addition, it should be displayed between sunset and sunrise and in times of restricted vision, in daylight hours, in events such as fog, rain, haze, or when at anchor. Furthermore, the navigation lights are used on either side of the seaborne vessel.
The marine industry is subject to stringent regulations aimed at ensuring safety and efficiency. Boats and marine vessels are required to comply with these regulations, including the installation and use of navigation lights. These lighting systems are essential for ensuring the visibility of vessels at night and during foggy conditions. The regulatory bodies mandate the use of these lights, thereby driving demand for marine power systems that support their operation. Moreover, the increasing number of seaborne vessels and the expansion of maritime trade are further boosting the market for marine power systems. These systems not only power the navigation lights but also provide electricity for onboard appliances and equipment. The growing demand for marine power systems is, therefore, a positive development for the industry.
A key factor shaping the market growth is the advancement in navigation lighting controllers. The importance of predictive maintenance is well-accepted by the major players in the marine and aircraft industries. In addition, a navigation light, key safety equipment, is a colored source of illumination fitted on a waterborne vessel, aircraft, and spacecraft. Furthermore, navigation lights offer the relative position of the craft and are commonly known as position lights.
Moreover, the failure of navigation lighting can lead to serious security issues for marine and aircraft operators. In addition, market players are developing advanced controllers that can easily control multiple onboard lighting systems as well as monitor the failure of power or wiring of navigation lamps. For example, in July 2020, Oceanic Systems launched a dedicated NMEA2000 navigation light controller, which can control and monitor 8, 16, or 24 LED navigation lights. Hence, such developments are driving market growth during the forecast period.
Low demand and oversupply of marine vessels are some of the key challenges hindering the market growth. One of the significant challenges the navigation lighting manufacturers face is the low demand for new marine vessels and the constant oversupply in the form of previously ordered vessels being delivered at present. In addition, the declining demand for marine vessels is one of the major elements causing this problem.
Moreover, several variables, including economic slowdowns in significant international markets, changes in global trade, and modifications in consumer behavior, are contributing to the decreased demand. Therefore, there is less interest among shipbuilders and owners in upgrading current ships or building new ones, which lowers the need for navigation lighting systems. Hence, such factors are hindering the market growth during the forecast period.
