LED Lamp Market For Explosion Proof Lighting Set To Blast

ElectroniCast Consultants has released its market forecast study of the worldwide use of LED lamps in Explosion-Proof Lighting
According to the market analyst's latest report, the global consumption value of LED-based lamps, which are used in explosions-proof light fixtures, is forecast to increase from $151.5 million in 2013 to $248.1 million in the year 2020.

This represents a 7.3 percent annual increase. 

Unsafe lighting is one of the most common potential sources of ignition. Working environments that contain explosive gases or dust are extremely volatile environments. All it takes is a single spark to cause an explosion. A variety of lights are available that are considered explosion proof lighting because they prevent any possible ignition sources from being exposed to the air.

The Europe, Middle East and African (EMEA) region, driven by its use of explosion-proof lighting in the oil-related industry, is forecast for slightly faster growth than the American region. The American region (South, Central and North America) region, pushed initially by the mining and oil-relation sub-applications and is forecast later-on to hold strong market positions in commercial/industrial, mining/oil-related, as well as the military and transportation-oriented sectors. 

In terms of value, the Asia Pacific (APAC) region is forecast to grow at a slightly faster pace versus other regions during the forecast period. The APAC region consumption is driven by use of the LED lamps in the commercial/ industrial (factory) application. 

The Specialty, Panel and Miscellaneous lamp category is forecast to increase at the fastest pace during the forecast period. ElectroniCast market research shows that LED lamps specifically designed and tested for use in (explosion-proof / harsh environment) application-specific fixtures will continue to increase in consumption value at a steady pace. 

In the General-Area lighting application, the large range of existing (relatively common) LED-based spotlights and various-types and sizes of standard-appearance bulbs or globes, have already found their way into the explosion-proof lighting fixture marketplace.

However, because of the huge number of vendors in the standard-type of LED Lamp space, the competition and technology advancements are driving the average selling price (per unit) down faster than in the other product categories, which at the same time is keeping the value growth at a relatively slow pace.

Eventually, LED-based linear (tube) lamps are forecast to find a niche in the explosion-proof lighting arena. The prime market target for the LED linear Tube is lighting for Paint Spray Booth/Facilities. 

The fluorescent tube has long been an acceptable lighting solution explosion-proof lighting fixtures, due to relatively high efficiency and long life. LED efficiencies are set to exceed those of fluorescent tubes, with dimming and controllable colour rendering readily achievable. 

Another product category that we quantified and are presenting a market forecast for in this ElectroniCast study is the LED lamps used in harsh-environment or more specifically explosion-proof portable flashlights, which also include wearable headlights (such as headlights used in the mining industry).   

According to ElectroniCast, the General Area lamps led in market share with 53 percent of the worldwide consumption value of LED lamps used in explosion-proof lighting fixtures in 2013.

AngelTech Live III: Join us on 12 April 2021!

AngelTech Live III will be broadcast on 12 April 2021, 10am BST, rebroadcast on 14 April (10am CTT) and 16 April (10am PST) and will feature online versions of the market-leading physical events: CS International and PIC International PLUS a brand new Silicon Semiconductor International Track!

Thanks to the great diversity of the semiconductor industry, we are always chasing new markets and developing a range of exciting technologies.

2021 is no different. Over the last few months interest in deep-UV LEDs has rocketed, due to its capability to disinfect and sanitise areas and combat Covid-19. We shall consider a roadmap for this device, along with technologies for boosting its output.

We shall also look at microLEDs, a display with many wonderful attributes, identifying processes for handling the mass transfer of tiny emitters that hold the key to commercialisation of this technology.

We shall also discuss electrification of transportation, underpinned by wide bandgap power electronics and supported by blue lasers that are ideal for processing copper.

Additional areas we will cover include the development of GaN ICs, to improve the reach of power electronics; the great strides that have been made with gallium oxide; and a look at new materials, such as cubic GaN and AlScN.

Having attracted 1500 delegates over the last 2 online summits, the 3rd event promises to be even bigger and better – with 3 interactive sessions over 1 day and will once again prove to be a key event across the semiconductor and photonic integrated circuits calendar.

So make sure you sign up today and discover the latest cutting edge developments across the compound semiconductor and integrated photonics value chain.
