Europe Lighting Control Systems Industry

Europe Lighting Control Systems Market Analysis

The Europe Lighting Control Systems Market is expected to register a CAGR of 16.2% during the forecast period.

• Intelligent lighting control systems improve energy efficiency, performance, and customer value. These systems have numerous applications across diverse end-user verticals in the Office, industrial, and home appliance sectors. Further, intelligent lighting controls have been increasingly adopted to reduce energy consumption.
• For instance, the Philips Hue Dimmer Switch has a convenient control interface for a compatible light system to bring easy brightness adjustments. Its easy-to-install design allows the dimmer switch to be mounted anywhere around the house.
• Moreover, the enhancement across the control system is also boosting market growth. For instance, the Nanoleaf Remote has 12 fully-reprogrammable sides for mapping various commands in smart light. A different color represents each rotation to make it easy to track each change and have a convenient out-of-the-box operation. The remote comes with pre-programmed scenes and is compatible with various Apple HomeKit-enabled devices, letting the user quickly activate functions to change the interior's vibe.
• According to Council Lead Partner Enel, Eight Spanish cities, including the towns of Móstoles (Madrid), Alcázares (Murcia), Manacor (Balearic Islands), Batea (Tarragona), and the Andalusian cities of Vélez Rubio (Almería), Écija (Seville), Pruna (Seville), and Almodóvar del Río (Córdoba) were able to reduce their electricity consumption by about 64% and saved over 4,300 ton of CO2 by using efficient lights with smart controls fitted at every lighting point. Projects such as this highlight the need to cut CO2 emissions, and increase energy efficiency, thus driving market growth.
• In October 2021, Lutron announced to bring Athena architectural lighting solution with iOS App Control to the market. Athena is inspired by the light that delivers a holistic experience - a simple, flexible, all-in-one solution for lighting, intelligent blinds, and connected apps.
• Furthermore, the outbreak of COVID-19 has led to a weakened growth of industrial output and a decline in light-manufacturing production across significant manufacturing hubs, owing to the halting of production and disruption in the regional supply chain. The supply chain impacts were observed in the market early in the pandemic. Many manufacturing facilities in China were shut down or reduced significantly to reduce operations and staff, resulting in shortages in LED packages, driver components, and materials. These shortages ripple effect across the smart light and controlling industry, affecting manufacturing plants in the region.

Europe Lighting Control Systems Market Trends

Industrial Segment is to Hold Significant Market Share

• The increasing application of Lighting-as-a-Service (LaaS) has created a rising need for partnerships, allowing manufacturers to provide a complete IoT lighting solution portfolio and control systems, which drives the integration of smart fixtures, such as industrial LED fixtures, across the industrial sector.
• For instance, Dialight, a prominent player in industrial smart LED lighting and control systems innovation, launched its new Reliant High Bay line of industrial LED fixtures as the company's initial product line designed for light-duty applications, such as warehouses, light manufacturing, and other large indoor spaces. These initiatives by the vendor drive the segment.
• The region's industrial revenue has been increasing yearly, which enhances the manufacture of advanced industrial solutions, including smart lighting and lighting control systems. According to Statistisches Bundesamt, the German construction materials industry's revenues increased in 2021; the turnover rose to EUR 24 billion from EUR 22.1 billion in 2020.
• In April 2022, Fluence launched the newest addition to its innovative lighting controls portfolio: Wireless Flex Dimming. It has Bluetooth mesh technology; Wireless Flex Dimming enables Fluence luminaires to dim light levels wirelessly using any industry-standard 0-10V dimmer or environmental controller.
• Further, collaborations in the market have aided the market growth. For instance, during the time of the pandemic, GE Current announced a partnership with Pointr, a company specializing in indoor positioning, controlling, and navigation utilizing iBeacons. The collaboration is expected to deliver high-value applications to warehouses, retailers, and industrial premises, by combining smart lighting and lighting control products from GE with Pointr's location-based services.

United Kingdom is Expected to be the Fastest Growing Market

• The United Kingdom (UK) is considered one of the first countries to use smart on/off switching control techniques with streetlights, thus, becoming a pioneer in smart lighting in Europe. The smart lighting industry will likely benefit from continued government support as the UK government seeks to reduce its carbon emissions. Additionally, households may increasingly opt for LED lighting systems, as they account for the alternatives' lifetime cost. These adoptions of LEDs in the country will drive the studied market.
• Furthermore, many companies in the country are taking measures to revamp their office space as eco-friendly, further boosting the market. For example, Farland Corp, a company based in Bedford, MA, wanted to create a more comfortable environment. Similarly, the City Electric Supply teamed up with Tamlite Lighting for the renovation.
• The country's office stock has been increasing every quarter, indicating the adoption of smart light and light control systems in office spaces. For instance, according to Cushman & Wakefield, with approximately 283 million square feet of built office stock, Central London had the most significant stock in the United Kingdom in the fourth quarter of 2021.
• Further, during the first wave of the pandemic, UK's lighting industry trade body issued a clarion call for smart lighting and control systems to become part of a EUR 750 billion European Union pandemic recovery proposal that includes repairing and renovating European buildings.
• In September 2021, online home fitness startup GRNDHOUSE recently equipped its studio with a custom LED lighting and wireless light controlling system rig designed by Hayden Borgars, featuring Martin Professional VDO Sceptron 10 LED video fixtures supplied by Colour Sound Experiment.
