Global energy-efficient lighting technology market by correlated color temperature (CCT), app and geography (2011-2016)

NEW YORK, USA: According to a new report published by Transparency Market Research "Global Energy-Efficient Lighting Technology Market by Correlated Color Temperature (CCT), Application and Geography (2011-2016)", the global LED lighting market is estimated to reach $18.2 billion in 2016 at a CAGR of 14.9 percent from 2011 to 2016, while the global CFL Market is expected to grow from $44.3 billion in 2010 to $69.4 billion in 2016, at an estimated CAGR of 8.2 percent from 2011 to 2016.

In the overall LED market by color temperature, the 5000K-6500K segment accounted for the largest market share followed by 2700K-3000K segment in 2010. In general lighting market, residential lighting has the highest share, accounting for more than 40 percent of the overall general lighting market.

The field of lighting has witnessed remarkable technology improvements in the past few years, especially in the area of compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) and solid state lighting. Conventional incandescent bulbs are expected to reach obsolescence with the onset of CFL and LEDs (light emitting diodes). Lighting accounts for about 18-20 percent of total energy consumption globally; and about 27-30 percent of total energy consumed for domestic purposes.

Currently, lighting accounts for approximately $39-$41 billion of the electricity bill in the US, which makes it full of potential for electricity and cost savings. LED lighting is enjoying robust growth because of its exceptional features that include high energy-efficiency, long operational life and robust weather resistant design. LED lighting applications are likely to see double-digit growth for the next few years with the highest market share in overall lighting market post 2020.

On the contrary, growth of office and industrial applications of LED lighting will be slower due to the existing high penetration of cost-competitive CFLs and fluorescent lamps.

Compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) are about 70 percent more energy efficient than incandescent light bulbs. The advantages of CFL include improved light quality and longer operational life in comparison to incandescent lamps. Additionally, CFLs give healthier concentrated light than linear fluorescent and their sizes are just about one-fourth of the size of conventional fluorescent lamps.

CFLs help fight global warming as their electricity consumption is appreciably lower than that of incandescent bulbs. Each CFL is expected to slash carbon dioxide emissions by about 1,300 lbs. over its lifetime. CFLs cost a little more up front, but still offer more savings than incandescent bulbs by using less electricity. Full spectrum fluorescent lighting may also benefit the immune system, and thus improve general health and well-being.

In overall lighting technology market, LED is the fastest growing market at a CAGR of 14.9 percent from 2011 to 2016, because of the increasing applications of LED lighting that includes residential lighting, decoration, signal indicators and display backlighting. The US is expected to be the biggest market of LED in 2016; however Asian region will witness the highest growth rate at a CAGR of 16.6 percent from 2011 to 2016.

In the overall LED market by Correlated Color Temperature (CCT), the 5000K - 6500K segment accounted for the largest market share at over 40 percent revenue share followed by 2700K-3000K segment at around half of the revenue share as compared to the 5000K-6000K segment in 2010. The 5000K-6500Kis also expected to be the fastest growing segment at a CAGR of 15.8 percent from 2011 to 2016.
