Surging Infrastructure Development Driving LED Lighting Market Growth

The global LED lighting market revenue stood at $55,201.9 million in 2020, and it will surge to $152,442.3 million by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.7% from 2020 to 2030 (forecast period), as per the estimates of P&S Intelligence, a market research company based in India. The market is being driven by the surging use of energy-efficient lighting solutions, falling costs of LED lights, and soaring infrastructure development activities across the world.

The luminaires category contributed higher revenue to the market in 2020, due to the surging adoption of these lights in industrial and commercial spaces and the implementation of favorable government policies. These lighting devices are easier to deploy, allow optic designers to use less light for illuminating an area and provide more light per every unit of power consumed than lamps. When installation type is taken into consideration, the market is classified into retrofit and new.

Of these, the retrofit category is predicted to demonstrate faster growth throughout the forecast period, owing to the rising requirement for replacing sodium-vapor and incandescent lamps with LEDs in several countries, such as the U.A.E, India, the U.S., South Korea, China, and Japan. Globally, Asia-Pacific (APAC) dominated the LED lighting market in the past, primarily because of the launch of supportive government initiatives in China, South Korea, and India regarding the deployment of energy-efficient lights.

This is attributed to the rising demand for replacing conventional lighting systems, such as compact fluorescent lamps (CFL), sodium-vapor lamps, and incandescent lights, with LEDs in commercial, industrial, and residential settings. Furthermore, the rising urbanization rate and growing focus on construction and infrastructure development are pushing up the demand for LEDs, owing to their greater energy-efficiency than conventional lights, in the APAC region. To meet the soaring requirement for LED lights, the players operating in the LED lighting market are focusing on product launches.

Hence, it can be safely said that the market will register rapid expansion in the coming years, primarily because of the increasing infrastructure development activities and burgeoning requirement for energy-efficient lights.
