Development of Smart Cities and Homes & the Ensuing Focus on Optimizing Energy Use Drives Demand for Smart Intelligent LED Lighting
Growing
popularity of LED-based smart lighting, rapid adoption of LED lighting
technologies in emerging countries, expansion of LED lighting to niche
applications beyond regular lighting, and the urgent need to achieve energy and
cost savings amidst spiraling electricity consumption are poised to drive the global market for LED
Lighting in General Lighting Applications to exceed US$100 billion by 2024.
LED
lighting is one of the most practical trends because the energy costs incurred
with LED lighting are lesser and more affordable over the long term compared to
other alternatives. Though the upfront costs are higher for LED lighting, the
overall costs calculated over the entire period of use are significantly lower
than other lighting systems. Moreover, the efficiency of LED lighting is 6-7
times more than conventional lighting, with the ability to last longer by up to
25 times. High energy-efficiency, optimal durability, and comparatively lower
total cost-of-ownership as compared to legacy incumbent lighting technologies
are few of the many factors that are supporting rapid penetration of LED
lighting products across the world. In addition to the inherent characteristics
of LED luminaires, favorable regulatory influences also contributed
significantly towards its soaring popularity. LED technology’s general lighting
applications witnessed significant increase in adoption driven primarily by the
fiscal stimulus that several countries across the world undertook in the recent
years. Additional factors that are responsible for the strong evolution of the
market over the years include significant improvements on the price and
performance parameters, accelerating incandescent bulb phase-out, and
increasing consumer awareness with regard to energy efficiency.
Strong
growth is projected for the market in the coming years supported by soaring
popularity of smart intelligent lighting; innovations in smart home
technologies; growing number of smart homes and smart cities; and integration
of security, smart LED lighting, and climate control in home automation
solutions. Rapid penetration is projected for intelligent LED lighting in the coming years
in residential indoor lighting, security lighting, commercial lighting, lighting
of public spaces, energy efficiency lighting in commercial and residential
spaces, human-centric lighting at offices, homes and also healthcare
facilities, and horticulture lighting, among others. Other important growth
drivers include faster adoption of LED lighting in street lighting application
hitherto dominated by HID bulbs; myriad benefits of LED
Lighting in Industrial Automation; exponential increase in urbanization driving
development and adoption of higher quality, more efficient, and longer lasting
LED solutions; and rising demand in horticultural applications supported by the
need to support plant protection and health in controlled environment. Few of
the many technology innovations and advancements benefiting market prospects in
the near term include the development of products that can produce cool,
neutral and warm white lights along with color temperatures in the range
2700K-8300K; Lumentalk™ Technology; Ultra-thin Lumination™ LED
luminaires,
and Indigo-Clean™ LED luminaire that kill bacteria continuously and safely. Futuristic
LED lighting systems will be a fusion of Internet and lighting that would save
energy; help to digitize services while offering a responsive environment.
These systems will make optimal usage of the IP-connected lighting including
apps, services and software using the platform and ideas that compel use-case.
As
stated by the new market research report on LED Lighting, Europe represents the
largest market worldwide. Europe and North America are expected to witness
increasing LED Lighting adoption as the regions embark on the much needed
energy efficiency drive helped by a multitude of energy saving regulations.
Asia-Pacific and Latin America offer huge market growth potential supported by the
rapid rise in construction, large scale infrastructure development, unpenetrated
and underpenetrated nature of the markets, rapid urbanization, expanding middle
class and their rising affluence, and growing demand for premium LED lighting
solutions.
