Energy Efficient Commercial Lighting: Lower Lamp Sales, Higher Controls and Service Sales

Efficient Lighting

LED, Fluorescent, HID, Halogen, and Incandescent Lamps and Luminaires in Commercial Buildings: Global Market Analysis and Forecasts 

The ongoing sea change between fluorescent and light-emitting diode (LED) lighting technologies amounts to a significant disruption for the lighting industry, potentially changing the methods by which lighting is provided and sold to customers. As a result of the lengthening lifespans of LED lamps, lighting companies are beginning to change their focus from that of equipment suppliers to service providers. Moreover, lighting companies will need to stay aware of these broader shifts and continue offering new and innovative products and services to meet demand.

Due to the much longer lifespan of LED lamps, Navigant Research expects overall revenue from lamp sales to decrease in the coming decade. To avoid this inevitable decline, companies are broadening their offerings by expanding to lighting controls and lighting services. Just as the tech giants of decades past (e.g., Hewlett-Packard and IBM) had to make the shift from hardware to software and services, today’s lighting giants are becoming providers of complete lighting solutions rather than just the physical elements that emit light. According to Navigant Research’s research report, Energy Efficient Lighting for Commercial Markets: LED, Fluorescent, HID, Halogen, and Incandescent Lamps and Luminaires in Commercial Buildings: Global Market Analysis and Forecasts, global lamp revenue is expected to decline from US$18.5 billion in 2014 to US$12.8 billion in 2023.
