IMPACT: MARKET GROWTH RESTRAINED BY THE PANDEMIC DUE TO SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS

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

Most industries suffered a great blow since the supply chain was disrupted by factory closures, transportation constraints, and lack of raw materials, especially in Southeast Asia and China. This was likely to slow down production and distribution of LED lighting drivers hence slowing down the expansion of the market.

LATEST TRENDS

"Increased Focus on Energy Efficiency and Sustainability to Propel Market Growth"

It has been observed that there is increasing demand for LED drivers that also include dimming and colour-tuning. These drivers enable finer tunability of light brightness and the temperature thus improving the power conservation while increasing user comfort. This has been realized because advancements in LED driver design allow for drivers with higher efficiency and lower flicker rates to be incorporated into today's LED lighting systems, therefore increasing its lifespan while at the same time decreasing energy use.

LED LIGHTING DRIVERS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Non-dimmable and Dimmable.

• Non-Dimmable- Non-dimmable LED drivers as their name suggests do not allow the LED lights to be dimmed instead they supply a stable current or voltage. They don't support dimming functions, which implies that when powered on, the light output does not vary between different levels of brightness.

• Dimmable- Intelligent drivers enable users to control the amount of current passing through the LED thereby controlling the light intensity of an LED. These drivers are compatible with different types of dimming like leading-edge (TRIAC), trailing-edge, analog (0-10V), digital (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface), or Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).

By Application

Based on application the market can be categorized into Residential Lighting, Commercial Lighting and Industrial Lighting.

• Residential Lighting- In homes LED drivers are used in different fixtures such as ceiling lamps, wall lamps and even in recessed lamps. They make sure that LED respectively runs to the optimum, to offer steady and flicker-free general lighting.

• Commercial Lighting- Inside a working environment, LED drivers are applied to lights for example panel lights, down lights, and linear lightings. This is especially the case for drivers which have dimming abilities as they play a critical role in enhancing workplace environments and alleviating glare effects to enhance productivity as well as well-being of employees.

• Industrial Lighting- In industrial applications including the use of the extensive commercial and industrial structures like the warehouse, factory, manufacturing plants, LED drivers are used in high bay and low bay luminescence. These environments demand high-quality and high-quality lighting to support the processes going on and minimize incidents.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Growing Demand for Energy-Efficient Lighting to Drive Market Advancement"

One of the key driving factors in the LED Lighting Drivers Market growth is Growing Demand for Energy-Efficient Lighting. Higher awareness and requirement of energy efficient lighting are key factors which are attributable to the growth of LED Lighting Drivers Market. As the concerns for energy usage and environmental impact grow higher, both consumer and commercial entities are in pursuit of high energy saving lighting products. LED lighting can, therefore, be considered a very effective form of energy usage that uses a lot less energy than the regular incandescent and fluorescent sources of lighting. This efficiency mainly relies on high-quality LED drivers which manage power feeding to the LEDs to realize performance and durability.

"Technological Advancements in LED Driver Design to Expand the Market"

Continued evolution in the LED driver designs has been a key driver to the growth of the LED Lighting Drivers Market due to enhanced performance, efficiency and flexibility. Today’s LED drivers are available with new features including higher efficiency, lower flicker, better heat control, and improved surge protection. These improvements do not only mean the lifespan of LED lighting systems is being increased, but also the stability of performance necessary in a variety of applications, most notably in commercial, industrial, and healthcare spaces.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"High Initial Costs Poses Potential Impediments to Market Growth"

A major challenge that affects the LED Lighting Drivers Market is the inhibitory impact of high initial costs which can be attributed to the cost of the technology as well as more added features we see with the product. LED lights and any other accessories that are connected to it, such as drivers, are comparatively expensive in the initial years than conventional luminaires such as incandescent or fluorescent lamps. It involves the cost of the LED drivers, LED fixtures and installation costs and perhaps modification costs in case the LED is integrated into existing infrastructure.
