Market Trends of Europe LED Packaging Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Europe LED Packaging Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand from Residential Segment to Drive the Market
- The residential sector is being driven by a shift in consumer demand toward聽energy-effective lightings, such as LEDs. Moreover, recent government聽initiatives and growing awareness among consumers expect to impact the industry significantly.
- Total residential lighting consumption in the European Union is increasing, owing to rising welfare, particularly in some countries, and a fast increasing number of lamps per home. The efficacy and luminous properties of LED bulbs are rapidly improving. LED lights are predicted to save a significant amount of energy in the future. LED lamps have a lifespan of 5 to 25 times that of traditional lights.
- Out of all the lighting sources, LED lights hold a significant share. The growing awareness and increasing policies of the various governments have globally increased the penetration rate of LEDs. The global LED penetration is on the continuous surge YoY.
- According to International Energy Agency, the sales of LEDs are reaching at a record number of sales of more than 10 billion units in 2019, including both light sources (bulbs, tubes, modules) and luminaires. Both residential and commercial LED deployment is advancing and LED sales are now exceeding that of fluorescent lamps. According to IEA France, commercial buildings should be in line with the clean energy transition, thereby minimizing the carbon footprint.
- The increasing prominence of LEDs can also lead to intelligent lighting systems (connected lighting) in industries. Because LEDs are more flexible in terms of color change and brightness, networked systems are more likely to profit from the usage of LEDs over traditional lighting sources.
Government Initiatives in the Region is Significantly Driving the Market Growth
- The European Commission adopted new regulations on energy efficiency and energy-labeling in December 2019. EU member states voted to phase out inefficient halogen lamps and compact fluorescent lamps in 2021 while introducing minimum performance and quality standards for LED lamps and luminaires. This regulation applies to applications including household, commercial, industrial and street lighting. The new rules will come into force on September 1, 2021.
- The SSLs (Solid-State Lighting) based on components is based on LEDs, OLEDs, and LDs challenges conventional technologies. It is thereby anticipated that in the short term, all-electric lighting will be based on SSLs, and the market for SSLs will increase on a massive scale.
- The UK Government Energy Efficiency program has increased the adoption of the LED lighting market in the UK. The government incentivizes by offering various rebate and tariff programs to replace existing traditional light sources with the LED lamps; the government has collaborated with multiple electricity providers for the program鈥檚 implementation.
- One of the most significant market shares is held by the highways & roadways lighting application segment of the outdoor smart lighting application owing to government support and subsidies encouraging the installation and use of smart lighting control solutions. The rescaling of energy labels is stricter and designed, so that very few products are initially able to achieve the 鈥淎鈥 and 鈥淏鈥 ratings, leaving space for more efficient products to gradually enter the market with the most energy-efficient products currently on the market will typically now be labeled as 鈥淐鈥 or 鈥淒.鈥 The rules provide for an 18-month period where the products bearing the old label can continue to be sold on the market in physical retail outlets to sell the existing stock.
