LED Lighting Market: Overview

LED lighting is an illuminating device that emits visible light with the help of light-emitting diodes (LED) which belong to the semiconductor industry. LED lights are exactly opposite to the photovoltaic cells that are used for converting visible light into electrical energy. An LED light is manufactured using two types of semiconductor material. These types are n-type and p-type. Both materials are called astringent materials and are dipped in a doping agent that helps to slightly modify the electrical properties of the variants from the original intrinsic form caalled the i-type.

LED lights have managed to revolutionize the lighting landscape since their inception. They are considered highly energy efficient as compared to other light devices. In addition to this, the industry for LED lighting is undergoing tremendous change and innovation since manufacturers are focusing on not only improving the overall durability of the lights but also improving the overall quality of performance. One of the key benefits of using LED lights is the reduced need for using diffusers and reflectors since LEDs emit light in a specific direction only. Thus making them highly efficient for specific applications such as task lighting and recessed downlights.

LED Lighting Market: Growth Drivers

Growing demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions and reduced environmental impact to drive market growth

The global LED lighting market is expected to benefit from the growing demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions. Research and extensive practical application of LED lights have proven that these lights consume less energy and produce the same intensity light as other illuminating mediums or lights. This is mainly due to the technology that powers LED systems as it uses electricity to solely emit light instead of using electricity to heat the system and then produce light which is generally observed in other lighting technologies. As reported by the Department of Energy LEDs are known to use 90% less energy as compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. Moreover, they also last 25 times longer than their counterparts. Since LEDs have a longer lifespan, it translates to a lower rate of carbon emissions. Given the higher durability of LEDs, fewer resources are used for manufacturing new light systems. The same cost and resource-saving trend then trickle down to other aspects of LED production and transportation.

As the world population along with consumer and industrial demand for lighting solutions continue to grow, energy consumption is expected to rise at an exponential rate. However, most of the current energy generation activities depend largely on non-renewable sources which is also a leading cause of environmental degradation and pollution. Regional governments, international energy agencies, and a growing part of the general population are actively seeking measures to become more energy-efficient which is expected to drive the consumption of LED lighting.

LED Lighting Market: Restraints

Higher initial cost of LED lighting and fixtures to restrict the market growth

The global LED lighting market growth may be limited due to the initial high cost of LED lights and fixtures as compared to conventionally used alternatives. For instance, a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) may cost around USD 2 while the charge for an LED variant is USD 5. Although LED lights are not as expensive to maintain and use as CFL, many people may refrain from investing heavily in LED lights, especially among people with limited budgets or awareness. In addition to this, there is a significant group of consumers who do not prefer the quality of LED lights since they perceive it to be low-grade. More awareness is needed to tap into this market segment.

LED Lighting Market: Opportunities

Increasing purchasing power in emerging economies to create growth opportunities

The LED lighting industry  players can expect higher demand for LED lights as the purchasing power of a larger part of the population in emerging economies is growing at a significant rate. This is mainly due to the growing foreign investments in these nations along with increased efforts by regional governments to promote domestic production of goods and services and export rates. For instance, in fiscal year 2022, India’s agriculture and allied export value was at USD 50.2 billion as compared to USD 41.1 billion in 2021. As the spending power of the general population rises, the demand for efficient consumer goods such as LED lighting will reach higher levels.

Growing number of product launches to deliver higher revenue possibilities

LED manufacturers have been extremely aggressive in terms of launching and developing new products to cater to the changing needs, demands, and expectations of consumers. The end-user verticals such as automotive and consumer electronic industries have also invested heavily in leveraging the strengths of LED lights. For instance, in August 2023, Hero Motocorp announced the launch of a new bike called the Karizma XMR. The highlight of the new launch is that it consists of all-LED headlights making it a unique design and the first-of-its-king by Hero. On the other hand, in July 2023, Techno, a brand operating in the smartphone segment, launched the Infinix GT 10 Pro equipped with LED lights at the back of the device.

LED Lighting Market: Challenges

Intense competition within the industry and from competing solutions to challenge growth trajectory

The LED lighting industry growth may be challenged by the intense competition existing within the market as there are several players with extensive lines of product portfolios offering LED light solutions at competing prices. Additionally, the difficulties may further intensify due to the presence of several other lighting solutions including CFLs, fluorescent tubes, laser lighting, incandescent bulbs, and fiber optic lighting.
