The Global Market for Lightning Protection Technologies is Projected to Reach US$1 Billion by 2020
High Rise Smart Buildings & Structures in the Electronic
Age Drives the Global Lightning Protection Technologies Market, According to a New
Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches comprehensive
analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and
demand forecasts on the global Lightning Protection Technologies market. The
global market for Lightning Protection Technologies is projected to reach US$1 billion
by 2020, driven by the growing popularity of high-rise architecture and the
increased risk of damage to such buildings from direct lightning strikes. Also
driving growth is the vulnerability of electronically enhanced buildings to lightning
induced voltage surges.
Lightning Protection
Technologies (LPT) encompass equipment and devices designed to provide protection
against the high current and voltage produced by lightning. LPT provides protection
of buildings, electrical installations, structures and electronic assets from
damage by electrical lightning strikes. The extraordinary increase in the
number of lightning strikes triggered by extreme weather patterns worldwide is a
strong case for adoption of lightning protection systems to reduce damage to
humans and infrastructure. Proper grounding serves as the basis for any LPT to reduce risk and
optimize performance. Lightning protection systems offer protection for
sensitive electronics and business-critical IT infrastructure, against direct lightning
strikes and transient voltage spikes. Over the last couple of decades, newer
technologies have been developed such as the charge
transfer system (CTS), the dissipation array system (DAS), and other novel
methods to effectively protect against lightning.
Growing regulatory pressure to protect
facilities such as water treatment and
nuclear power plants, warehouses, seaports, airports, military units, schools, healthcare
and broadcast industries will also fuel demand growth in the coming years. Commercial
sectors that include golf courses, schools, offices, stadiums, as well as large
building complexes are expected to be other major sources of revenues for the
LPT market. As homes and buildings become smarter with the incorporation of new
connected technologies, monitoring controls and intelligent systems, the need
for lightning protection is becoming more critical to safeguard the electrical
equipment and devices. Specialized surge
protection is also crucial for the safety of Ethernet, telephone, and coaxial
lines in home offices. In the aviation
industry, the replacement of aluminum with lighter carbon composites to create
lightweight aircraft leaves them susceptible to lightning strikes. As a result,
a number of lightning protection solutions are being adopted to avoid damage to
aircraft.
As stated by the new
market research report on Lightning
Protection Technologies, Europe represents
the largest market with about 29% share of the global market in 2015. Asia-Pacific
ranks as the fastest growing market with an estimated compounded annual growth rate
of 7.2% over the analysis period. The growth in the region is driven by rapid
urbanization, regulations mandating installation of lightning protection
systems at public service facilities, rising adoption of voltage sensitive home
automation technologies and electronic systems, developing telecommunication infrastructure
and the resulting need to protect cellular towers, antennas and equipment.
