Market Trends of Ambient Lighting Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Ambient Lighting Market according to our research experts:
LEDs to Hold Significant Market Share
- LED lighting systems use up to 50% less energy to generate an equivalent light intensity emitted by cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) and compact fluorescent lamps (CFL). The reduced energy consumption directly converts into a reduction of over 700 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. Thus, LEDs are expected to completely replace CFLs and CCFLs during the forecast period. This factor is expected to drive the ambient lighting market shortly.
- Moreover, LEDs are UV radiation-free and neutral, which makes them more suitable for indoor lighting. Additionally, they are ideal for people with photoreactive sickness. The rays emitted from the light-emitting diodes are safe.
- Additionally, the LED lighting market is mainly driven by advantageous features offered by LED lights, such as increased energy efficiency, longer lifetime, enhanced physical strength, smaller size, design flexibility, and environmental friendliness. According to MeitY (India), LED production across India was valued at about INR 163 Billion (~USD 2.19 billion) in the financial year 2021. The statistics indicated an increase from the previous financial year, which was INR 162.5 Billion (~USD 2.18 Billion).
- Moreover, LED lighting solutions offer dimmable controls, and this feature is increasingly adopted in the residential sector and commercial buildings. As per the Lighting Controls Association, a part of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), prices of dimmable LEDs are dropping to levels comparable with standard on/off switches.
- All the factors mentioned above are expected to accelerate the LED lighting market, which may create a demand for ambient lighting during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific to Witness Significant Growth
- The Asia-Pacific region is witnessing the fastest growth due to rampant infrastructure-building activities in emerging economies, such as China and India.
- Additionally, the various regional governments are also focusing on implementing stringent regulations and legislation on energy efficiency. Thus, this is further supporting the growth of the ambient lighting market in this region. For instance, initiatives from the Indian government, such as Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) and Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS), have already been implemented for rural and urban areas, respectively.
- Also, India is expected to become the world's first country to use LEDs for all lighting needs annually. Such a colossal implementation will aid the growth of the ambient lighting market. The hundred million LED lights resulted in an annual saving of 6.7 billion units and avoided 1,119.40 MW of peak power demand. The EESL plans to bring INR 80 billion (~USD 1.07 billion) in investment by 2024 to cover rural India in the next 4-5 years. It is anticipated that more than 30 million LED lights will be retrofitted/installed by EESL. Under SLNP, Andhra Pradesh leads the way in installing LED lights, followed by Rajasthan and UP.
- Moreover, these lights are used in automotive lighting systems as well. India, China, Japan, and South Korea are some of the major countries which hold the majority of vehicle production, thus, offering growth opportunities for the automotive lighting market.
- The rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles of people in the country have also increased the penetration of LED lighting in the building and construction industries. The compatible size and aesthetic look have drawn the attention of people with high standards, which resulted in significant growth in the adoption of ambient lighting.
