APAC is estimated to contribute 42% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. The market in APAC is growing at a rapid rate, primarily because of the increased demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions from the residential and commercial segments. Furthermore, the region is becoming a hub for retail, hospitality, and healthcare industries, as many multinational companies are setting up their offices in APAC. In APAC, China is the major revenue-contributing country of the regional market in focus owing to the presence of many manufacturing units and industries.
The market is witnessing rapid growth driven by its superior energy efficiency compared to traditional lighting sources, leading to reduced energy consumption and a lower carbon footprint. Technological advancements have made them more environmentally sustainable by eliminating hazardous materials. Initiatives like the Renew America's Schools grant program are promoting the adoption of these in educational institutions. LED technology is widely used in various applications including indoor and outdoor lighting, automotive utility lighting, and vehicle lighting, contributing to significant energy savings. Developing countries are increasingly adopting these products, supported by local manufacturers and advancements in wireless technologies like Wi-Fi for smart lighting solutions. Occupancy sensors and daylighting features further enhance the efficiency of these products such as LED strips, bulbs, and tube lights, making them ideal for industrial, warehouse, and stadium lighting applications.
Also, the market is expanding rapidly across various sectors, including indoor applications such as residential, retail, and healthcare and educational institutions where energy-efficient LED lighting enhances ambience and reduces costs. Outdoor applications like street and roadway lighting, parking lots, and smart stadiums benefit from LEDs' superior energy input efficiency and longevity, ensuring reliable illumination and cost savings. Integration with Wi Fi enables smart functionalities, allowing for remote control and automation in both indoor situations and outdoor environments. In landscape and architectural lighting, LEDs offer versatility in design and performance, catering to aesthetic preferences and sustainability goals. As the market advances, LED technology continues to redefine lighting solutions, providing innovative options for efficient and effective illumination across residential, commercial, and public sectors.
The declining manufacturing cost of LED lights is notably driving the market growth. The decline was primarily due to the decrease in the average selling price (ASP) of chips and components used in manufacturing LED devices. This reduction in LED production costs has also LED to lower initial installation costs for LED lamps and lanterns as well as grow lights, thereby accelerating their installation across all application segments. This trend is supported by the integration of features such as Wi-Fi, occupancy sensors, and daylighting in LED products, including LED strips, LED bulbs, and LED tube lights.
Further, the decrease in manufacturing costs can be attributed to government subsidies for purchasing semiconductor equipment, such as metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), which is crucial for LED manufacturing. This has encouraged manufacturers to expand their production capacity. This expansion is driven by technological advancements and the demand for energy-efficient lighting products. Additionally, government support has helped companies reduce variable production costs by operating their production facilities at full capacity. These factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
The emergence of smart cities is the key trend in the market. The government's energy conservation and resource management initiatives are promoting the development of smart cities. Smart lighting is an important part of building smart cities because it helps save energy, has shorter switching times, and reduces costs. Intelligent lighting systems increase the energy efficiency of cities and offer practical benefits to city dwellers, such as access to information about traffic and public space.
Moreover, street lights that are widespread in cities use innovative lighting solutions that automatically implement traffic-based brightness control, remote light control, error reporting, theft prevention and tracking of street light power cords, and remote meter reading. The application of intelligent lighting can significantly save electricity, improve public lighting control systems, and save maintenance costs. Thus, the increasing development of smart cities will fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The limited thermal tolerance of LEDs installed in industrial facilities is the major challenge impeding market growth. Considerable energy loss occurs in light bulbs, as most of the consumed power evaporates as heat. The light efficiency of these products in industrial also degrades when exposed to high temperatures, high humidity, and other hazardous environments common in commercial and industrial areas. They are sensitive to high temperatures, and when used in an enclosed space, they can negatively affect the light output and lifetime of the LEDs.
Additionally, these bulbs and fixtures connected to external LED drivers often fail prematurely due to high internal operating temperatures. Since the temperature in industrial and manufacturing facilities is usually high, this raises the internal temperature of the LED driver above the case temperature point (Tc). The TC point of a conductor is defined as the hottest point on its surface during use. As a result, these drivers often fail prematurely. This leads to the failure of LEDs installed in industrial premises, which hinders the growth of the market during the forecast period.
