Asia-Pacific $10.6 Bn Outdoor Lighting Market to 2024 - Shift from Conventional Lights Toward Solar Powered Lights

Asia-Pacific (APAC) outdoor lighting market is predicted to attain a size of $10.6 billion by 2024, progressing at a CAGR of 11.1% This is attributed to the increasing government initiatives promoting energy efficiency and the development of smart, LED-based outdoor lighting systems. In the APAC region, the growing number of smart city projects is creating ample opportunities for the players in the market.

On the basis of lighting type, the APAC outdoor lighting market is divided into fluorescent lights, light-emitting diode (LED) lights, high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps, and plasma lamps. Among these, the LED lights category is projected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. This is ascribed to the rising demand for LED-based lighting in various applications areas, especially highways, stadiums, and tunnels. Moreover, countries such as India, China, and South Korea are offering subsidies to users to replace incandescent lights with LEDs.

The APAC outdoor lighting market is classified into retail and commercial distribution channels. Of these, in 2018, the commercial channel held the larger revenue share in the market due to the escalating demand for LED-based street lights in commercial spaces, such as parking lots, highways, airports, jogging tracks, bridges, and streets. End users including government organizations, contractors, and private builders prefer to buy lighting products directly from the manufacturers, leading to the growth of this category.
