Abstract
The Lighting Market report incorporates original research and offers a
comprehensive and up-to-date review of the UK lighting market.
Product areas covered are:
- LAMPS / BULBS
- LUMINAIRES / FITTINGS
- LIGHTING CONTROLS
The market is in a mature phase of its lifecycle, being primarily dependent on
replacement applications and has experienced modest growth in recent years,
with the market in 2007 growing by just over 2% to reach a value of
£1.43 billion.
Overall prospects are perhaps negative in the short term as economic growth
appears to be slowing down, though in the medium to longer term future,
significant government spending allied to the impact of the Olympic investment
programme and the drive to greater efficacy in lighting should combine to
generate more positive market growth.
Sustained expenditure by the Government on the education, health and
infrastructure sectors has underpinned demand for lighting products. In
addition, innovations and lighting design in retail and other commercial
applications have provided some opportunities for lighting manufacturers and
suppliers to add value to their product offering and achieve product
differentiation.
In terms of product mix, lamp sales in 2007 were estimated to reach around
£385 million, reflecting relatively static market performance in value
terms, whilst the luminaires market grew by around 3% to around £1.04
billion. By 2012, lamp sales are likely to grow only modestly, whilst the
luminaires sector is expected to achieve more significant growth.
