Based on country, China is estimated to hold the largest share in Asia-Pacific LED lighting market in 2018. This is attributed to the growing demand for energy saving and eco-friendly lighting products in application area such as roads, railways and buildings. For instance, in February 2019, the government announced that around $120 billion would be invested in railway construction to improve the rail network in the country.

APAC LED Lighting Market Dynamics

Trend

The key trend observed in Asia-Pacific LED lighting market is the growing popularity of smart LED lighting owing to their higher energy efficiency and the ability to control lights from anywhere at any time by using smartphones and tablets. In addition, automatic off/on, adaptive lighting, and motion activation technology would increase the cost savings for the households and businesses by reducing the power consumptions over traditional lights. Moreover, users can change the color of the lights as per their choice which can improve the indoor environment.

Driver

Several government initiatives toward energy efficiency in the region contributing immensely to the growth of the Asia-Pacific LED lighting market. In India, several government projects are on the line, to promote energy efficiency. For instance, in 2015, Indian government launched Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All (UJALA) to promote energy efficiency in the country. Further, in 2015, the Indian government launched Street Light National Programme (SLNP) to promote energy efficiency in the country. SLNP aimed to replace 35 million conventional lights with LED lights. In addition, Chinese government is also promoting the adoption of energy efficient LED street light.

Moreover, in 2016, Australian government and Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia (IPWEA) together launched a strategic Roadmap for Street Lighting and Smart Controls Programme (SLSC) to promote LED lights and smart controls to increase the energy efficiency. The overall cost of the project was around $1.1 billion, with an estimated energy saving of around $180 million per year. Thus, these initiatives are expected to reduce energy consumptions and in turn would provide healthy growth to Asia-Pacific LED lighting market.

Opportunity

A major opportunity for the growth of players operating in the Asia-Pacific LED lighting market lies in upcoming sports events in the region. Good quality illumination is essential for sports events like cricket, football, and hockey. Floodlights ensure good visibility enabling both spectators and players to follow the progress of a game. In addition to the visibility, outdoor lights also help to enhance the landscape of a country.

Sports events such as Olympic Games in 2020, ICC Cricket World Cup in 2023, Winter Olympics in 2022, and Asian Games in 2022 are scheduled to take place in APAC region, which would increase the demand for outdoor lighting in the region. As, LED lights are more durable, long lasting, and energy efficient than other lights, the demand for LED lights would increase during the forecast period. Hence, upcoming sports events in APAC would increase the demand for LED lighting in this region.
