Market Growth Factors

The primary factor propelling the LED lighting industry in the UK market is the growing emphasis on the need for energy efficiency and sustainability. Net-zero greenhouse gas emission by 2050 remains a goal of the UK, thereby further fueling the need to be less dependent on energy in the coming decades. Energy efficiency provided by LED lighting, which requires a maximum of 80% of electricity compared to an ordinary filament bulb, along with their extended lifespan of up to 25,000 hours, compared to the 1,000 hours of an ordinary bulb, also cuts carbon emissions and electricity expenses. Various schemes such as the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), Green Deal, and Energy Company Obligation (ECO) also assist in supporting the use of LED technology.

Advances in technology are another driver that has contributed to market expansion. Improvements made in the efficiency, luminance, and functionality of LED lighting continue to raise their applicability. Advances include intelligent LED lighting systems that combine home automation systems with remote controls that employ smartphones. White lighting functionality with color-controllable LEDs make these systems even more functional. Advances made in LED chip technology, as well as advancements made in heat dissipation systems, allow for high power LED lights that can even be applied within the industrial sector.

Urbanization and infrastructure development are major factors that impact the demand in the market. The rapidly increasing population in cities drives the demand for energy-efficient and robust lights that can be installed in street lamps, public places, and business establishments. As of 2019, there were 56.3 million urban dwellers in England. This has boosted the demand for advanced LED lights. Urban developers employ the use of LEDs to reduce maintenance and energy expenditure. New building construction incorporates the installation of LED lights that can meet higher energy efficiency standards.
