The declining manufacturing cost of LEDs is notably driving the market growth. LED production costs have declined substantially due to government subsidies for the procurement of semiconductor equipment, such as metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) equipment, which is used in the manufacture of LEDs. As a result, LED lighting product manufacturers have increased their LED production capacity. Furthermore, government assistance has aided vendors in lowering the variable costs involved with production by operating their manufacturing facilities at full capacity.
Moreover, another major factor is the shift toward larger-diameter sapphire substrates, which are used to produce LED chips. Earlier, 2-4-inch wafers were commonly used in the production of LED chips. However, the recent move to 6-8-inch wafers has enabled manufacturers to generate more LED chips per wafer, lowering production costs. As the price wars in the LED market intensify, producers will increasingly focus on cost-saving and the usage of large-diameter sapphire wafers for LED production. This will accelerate the production of LEDs as the manufacture of large wafers allows suppliers to produce more chips per wafer. This is expected to result in a further decline in the ASP of LEDs. The declining ASP of LEDs will accelerate the adoption of LED lighting across all application segments. Hence, such factors are driving the market during the forecast period.
A growing number of households and urbanization is the primary trend driving the market growth. Urbanization around the globe, particularly in emerging economies, is driving up demand for lighting systems from an expanding number of households. The residential segment is a key contributor to the increasing demand for lighting devices. The increase in urbanization will result in a growing number of households worldwide, thereby driving the installation of new lamps and luminaires. This will lead to an increase in the unit shipments and revenue of general lighting products.
Moreover, according to the World Bank, China accounted for an urban population of nearly 57% in 2020. It is also observing a high growth in the urban middle-class population, which is expected to account for more than 75% of the total population by 2022. The market in China will observe high growth because of the increasing demand for luxury homes and high-class residential societies. This is expected to accelerate the demand for LED lamps and luminaires. Brazil is becoming a popular destination among commercial business entities. This is leading to rapid urbanization in many areas of Brazil, including Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. According to World Bank data, Brazil accounted for an urban population of close to 86% in 2020. This is expected to increase the demand for residential and commercial buildings, such as shopping malls and office spaces, thereby contributing to the growth of residential and commercial lighting. Hence, such factors are driving the market during the forecast period.
The high average cost per LED fixture may impede the market growth. Though the total cost of owning LED lamps and fixtures is low compared with traditional incandescent and halogen bulbs, the high initial cost acts as a hindrance. The total cost of installation includes the cost of LED luminaires and labor costs.
In addition, consumers who install smart lighting fixtures require a huge amount of money to set up the Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. The price of incorporating smart bulbs in a fixture also varies depending on the bulb type and manufacturer. The price of products from major smart LED bulb manufacturers costs USD15- USD180, hindering the growth of the market in focus further during the forecast period.
