DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e97364/european_energy_ef) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "European Energy Efficient Lighting Markets 2010" to their offering.
The energy efficient lighting market has undergone a period of rapid change in the last five years. The EU drive for greater energy efficiency has been the main driver for this with new legislation and public pressure causing the lamps market to move towards more energy efficient units. The research analyses in depth the major geographical hotspots like the UK and Italy and looks deeper into each of the major energy efficient lighting technology from CFLs and LEDs to Halogen lamps. The end user segments have also been analysed for each technology, from residential to commercial and public sectors. Competitive analysis has been done on each technology, with market shares of top competitors analysed and explained.
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled European Energy Efficient Lighting Markets provides an in-depth analysis of the competitive landscape while detailing key market and geographic trends. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following technologies: compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), light emitting diodes (LEDs) and halogen lamps. Application sectors covered in this research include: commercial, residential, public and industrial.
Market Overview
Legislation Coupled with Rising Demand to Promote Strong Growth in European Energy Efficient Lighting Market
Greater emphasis on energy savings in the lighting sector and new legislation phasing out inefficient lighting will help the European energy efficient lighting (EEL) market bounce back from negative growth by 2010. The mainstream CFLs, halogen lamps and high growth LED lamps sectors will result in steady growth rates in the years ahead as all of Europe switches over to more energy efficient lighting technology.
""The European EEL market has been boosted by new legislation mandating a shift towards energy efficient lamps as older, more inefficient lighting gets phased out by 2016, notes the analyst of this research. Other supportive legislation and significant technological advances will bolster the market despite the downward pressure exerted by macro-economic factors. The EU implemented a phase out of inefficient lighting in September 2009, starting with incandescent lamps. This has created considerable opportunity for the use of energy efficient lamps in the residential and, to an extent, the commercial sector. There are also many other EU-wide and national legislations aimed at increasing the share of energy efficient technologies. Over the last decade, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive has had a significant pan-European impact. It has resulted in national legislation in France and Germany that support the use of more EEL through subsidies and other incentives.
Focus on Steady Price Levels to Ensure Sustainable Market Growth
The current economic climate means that construction has declined across the EU, affecting new lighting sales. Nevertheless, current legislative efforts will ensure that consumers will have little choice but to gradually favour more energy efficient options for lighting. The construction slump which began in the EU in 2007 had brought down the lighting market in most regions at the time, and the recession has only exacerbated the situation, states the analyst. In the short-term, the market will be more dependant on renovation as new construction activity grinds to a halt.
Economic recovery is expected post 2010, along with an increase in construction efforts. A high level of government support will ensure that the European EEL market is insulated from the worst of the economic recession with projected high demand in 2010, underpinning a quick recovery in 2011. Manufacturers will have to brace themselves for the tough year ahead, and try not to increase costs to the end consumer, advises the analyst. This is a crucial time as the technology begins to enter the mainstream, and consumer perception will decide how well the market can sustain itself without legislative support this will be crucial to promote long term growth."
