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. 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.
