Light Emitting Diode (LED) architectural lighting has emerged as the most popular architectural lighting solution owing to the benefits, such as extended lifespan, reduced energy consumption, and lower maintenance requirements, associated with it. The U.S. Department of Energy estimated the energy saved due to the adoption of LED lighting by the end of 2027 at 348 terawatt hours. LED lights consume less energy and offer a longer lifespan than conventional lighting systems. LED lights tend to dim over time but do not fail or burn out like incandescent bulbs. Depending on the quality of the product, LED lights offer a lifespan of approximately 30,000-50,000 hours. On the contrary, an average incandescent bulb typically lasts about 1,000 hours, while a fluorescent bulb lasts approximately 8,000-10,000 hours. The longer operational lifespan of LED lamps, the comparatively lower costs for switching from conventional lighting to LED lighting, and the subsequent reduction in maintenance expenses are opening new opportunities for the adoption of LED architectural lighting. These factors would further drive the market growth during the forecast period.

The adoption costs associated with architectural lighting typically include direct and indirect expenses incurred throughout the complete life cycle of using an architectural lighting product, from procurement and installation to deployment. Architectural lighting also needs regular maintenance to keep them running, which adds to their operational costs. This can lead to relatively higher adoption costs and discourage the adoption of architectural lighting. The lack of proper understanding and information about the capabilities of LED lighting and potential cost reductions can even lead to higher implementation costs. As a result, some consumers or organizations may not consider investing in LED lighting. A typical conventional consumer considers the product's pricing as crucial rather than focusing on the product’s long-term benefits, which means relatively higher adoption costs can particularly restrain the adoption of LED architectural lighting. Nevertheless, adequate consumer education and efforts toward raising consumer awareness can aid in eliminating this barrier gradually.

Component Insights

In terms of component, the ballasts segment held the largest market share of over 15% in 2022. The demand for ballast control circuits for use in various LED lamps and HID lamps is growing worldwide. Ballasts are available in two types, namely magnetic and electric.
