  Growing use of lighting is driving the market growth

  
  

Market CAGR for lighting contactor is being driven by the rising use of lighting. According to the Australian Government's Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment, and Water, replacing ten halogen lights with LEDs can save up to US$650 in power costs over ten years. Furthermore, the 'Street Light National Programme (SLNP)' of the Government of India is the world's largest streetlight replacement program, with over 1.3 million smart LED lights installed by 2020. 

Over the projection period, such government measures will enhance lighting installation and, as a result, demand for lighting contractors. The rise in demand for switch lighting systems in outdoor applications, such as streetlights; an increase in infrastructure needs in emerging economies; an increase in urbanization; a surge in wireless technology acceptance; and continuous technological advancements are among the major factors driving the lighting contactor market's expansion.

Governments and business sector organizations are working to create electrical gadgets that will boost energy savings. Promoting energy-efficient gadgets and replacing obsolete lighting systems with new technology is more crucial for long-term growth than energy production. Furthermore, government laws have played an important role in Smart lights may be installed in existing outlets and controlled via a cell phone. These lights react to movement, voice instructions, and location.

Smart switches can turn on and off lights, but smart dimmers can control light brightness levels. People are gravitating towards smart homes as their disposable incomes rise. More than 35% of US households have smart homes. A smart house contains electronic devices, such as lighting, that operate via the internet, sensors, hand gestures, or voice commands. Smart lighting solutions are provided by companies such as Schréder, General Electric Company, and Cree, Inc. These businesses' strategic actions, such as product releases and geographical expansions, are contributing to the growth of the lighting contractor market. The market for lighting contactors has been primarily driven by energy efficiency.

Furthermore, governments worldwide are enacting regulations to encourage the adoption of energy-efficient devices due to their benefits, such as reduced energy usage and cost savings. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), energy consumption will rise by 1.9 percent in 2022 due to robust economic growth, driving energy efficiency. Furthermore, the lighting contractor market will likely grow shortly due to the increasing adoption of new technologies, such as the Internet of Things in lighting contractors. Thus, driving the Lighting Contactor market revenue.
