GLOBAL CRISES IMPACTING ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING MARKET - COVID-19 IMPACT

"Architectural Lighting Market Had a Negative Effect Due to Supply Chain Disruption During COVID-19 Pandemic"

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

As a result of COVID-19, architectural lighting market share also shrank significantly mainly due to the disruptions in the global supply chain, decrease in constructions, and uncertain economy. Owing to the fact that there was increased Adoption of Lockdowns and restrictions across the globe hence Construction and infrastructural related projects reduced which in turn reduces the demand for Architectural lighting products. The two main contributors to the market were hospitality and retail which greatly suffered as many hotels, restaurants and shopping mall among others delayed and in some cases even cancelled improvement and expansion projects. Furthermore, the outbreak of the pandemic affected the production and supply chain disrupting the basic components including LEDs and drivers. Small and medium-sized lighting enterprises experienced issues around cash flows with conditions that prevented them from developing new innovative technologies or meeting demand from orders. Some increase in residential lighting sales was noted due to new home construction and remodeling, but this could not mask worsening fortunes in the commercial and industrial lighting markets. However, the situation is expected to change as economies grow, and construction related activities begin to pick up. Increased consciousness of energy-saving supplies and embracing intelligent illumination fixtures and systems will contribute to future prospects to sales.

LATEST TREND

"Integration of Smart Lighting with Building Management Systems (BMS) Drives Market Growth"

Another major trend notable in the architectural lighting market is the coupling of smart lighting with Building Management Systems to provide intelligent energy efficient luminaires. This trend is in accord with the general increasing interest into sustainable and autonomous technologies in buildings which is especially popular among commercial and industrial property markets. Smart lighting control systems use IoT and intelligent sensors to intelligently control the manner in which lights are switched on and off, in response to occupancy, daylight and users’ preferences. When connected with the BMS, these systems can maintain the energy usage of a whole building through the integration of lighting and hvac, security, or other activities of structures. Thereby, this integration optimizes the energy utilization and satisfies the users with different lighting preference. Wireless control systems and Cloud based platforms reduce the complexities of the smart lighting control systems for the customers making them adoptable easily. Further growth of smart lighting with BMS will continue to define the architectural lighting market’s development as green building certifications such as LEED and WELL become more prominent.
