Market Trends of Hazardous Lighting Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Hazardous Lighting Market according to our research experts:
LED Lighting to Account for Significant Market Share
- LED lighting for hazardous locations holds the potential to save operating and maintenance costs for facility operators. LED luminaires are rated for use in areas where flammable gases and vapors are present, under conditions defined by NEC Class I, Division 2, and IEC Zone 2.
- LEDs produce no harmful ultraviolet or infrared radiation. These properties offer many benefits by lowering cooling costs, simplifying maintenance, prolonging product life, avoiding damage to eyes and sensitive equipment, and providing a margin of safety in a hazardous environment.
- Mining applications are often subjected to high vibrations, debris, chemicals, and explosive solutions. LEDs contain no moving parts and are more durable and better withstand shock and corrosion, and their ability to ignite with a spark is an added advantage.
Asia-Pacific to Gain Significant Market Share
- Asia-Pacific is expected to account for a significant market share, owing to the high industrial and infrastructure development in the region and the increasing need for energy-efficient lighting technologies across the hazardous industrial application.
- Growth in the demand for LNG in China, in line with its coal-to-gas switching policy, coincides with the rising demand for LNG in Asia-Pacific, which is likely to help in the growth of the new oil and gas plant project in India, China, and Indonesia. This, in turn, may increase the demand for lighting in hazardous locations in the oil and gas industry.
- Moreover, China has 305 planned and announced petrochemical plants, with a total capacity of about 152.4 mtpa, expected to be completed by 2030, with major capacity additions coming from Hengli Petrochemical and China Petrochemical Corp. Thus, there is a high demand for hazardous lighting in the country, especially for LED lighting, as China has a highly significant market for LED lights
