Market Overview

Rising Awareness Levels on Energy Efficiency and Boom in Construction Sector Energize Lighting Controls and Systems Market in India

Until recently, the lighting controls and systems market in India had witnessed strong growth, driven by investments in commercial, industrial, residential, and infrastructural construction. The market looks premature and unregulated, the Indian lighting controls and systems market will witness a downward trend between 2009 and 2010 due to the economic meltdown and the reduction in construction activity. "Rising energy cost has become a major driver for this market because of the insufficient power production in the country," notes the analyst of this research service. "The evolution of energy-efficient technologies and the need to save energy and the environment have led to the introduction of energy-efficient products." Higher income levels, increase in focus on energy saving requirements and greater need for occupant comfort have contributed to revved up customer interest on lighting controls. With growing awareness on energy saving and the popularity of green building concepts in India, the lighting controls and systems market is evolving rapidly. Technological developments have enabled more flexibility and compatibility to facilitate system integration. Other benefits conferred by this technology are carbon emission mitigation and reduction in utility bills.

Higher spending in global R&D infrastructure, improvements in technology and best-in-class manufacturing have helped unleash a slew of products suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation across various end-user industries. Lighting greatly enhances the ambience in hotels, restaurants, offices, and private houses. High-end lighting controls offer enormous potential, which will be further amplified by light-emitting diode (LED) technology. Besides these two segments, the industrial sector, encompassing factories, workshops, and warehouses is another growth segment. Airports, metro railway stations, auditoriums, hospitals, and educational institutions such as schools, colleges, universities, and libraries are other promising arenas. Demand is expected to strengthen as the pace of growth in the Indian construction sector begins to accelerate. The indoor segment remains a lucrative sector as demand from commercial and residential buildings continues on an upward trajectory. In the commercial environment, electronic ballasts are supplanting electromagnetic ballasts owing to the capacity of energy savings. LEDs are deployed in new constructions rather that retrofit installation. The future looks promising for retrofit installation in the wake of the recent evolution of wireless technology and the advantage of easy installation.

The installation and maintenance of lighting control systems requires qualified personnel to avoid indecorous system designing and poor installation. Knowledgeable and qualified manpower is mandatory for systems with high-end automation products that need to be integrated with other systems. Suppliers should ensure availability of qualified manpower and clearly define the benefits of these systems. "To obtain the edge over competition, it is crucial for lighting control vendors to offer seamless and efficient products, services and solutions at extremely competitive prices, design the system at the initial stages of the project by showing a realistic return on investment with the help of qualified integrators and back it up with effective service and training support to customers."
