Hazardous Lighting Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)

Market Overview

The Hazardous Lighting market was valued at USD 1933.34 million in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 2535.17 million by 2026, at a CAGR of 4.62% over the forecast period 2021 - 2026. IIoT integration may expand with LED light penetration. By integrating Wi-Fi boosters, sensors that can detect airborne pollutants, or RFID tags or volumetric sensors that can measure storage capacity and product volume, LED lighting can become an integral part of an IIoT solution that enhances overall productivity and visibility in hazardous locations.

• Replacement of traditional lighting systems with LEDs is driving the market, due to their ability to dramatically reduce energy consumption. Moreover, their disposal contains less hazardous effects, as they contain no hazardous chemicals.
• Regulatory standards promoting the use of lighting are driving the market, as industry and regulatory standards define the criteria for designating a work area as a hazardous location and atmosphere around an industrial or manufacturing facility. The hazards may include concentrations of flammable vapors, dust, or fibers, which increase the demand for lighting that contains light fixtures with stronger housing and tempered glass, which encase sparks and other potential ignition sources away from a flammable substance.
• However, rising environmental concern is restraining the market, as the quality of diodes’ lighting is highly dependent on the ambient operating temperature. At high temperatures, there are changes in the parameters of the current passing through the semiconductor elements, which can lead to burning out the module, especially LED. This issue affects the places and surfaces exposed to rapid increases in temperature or very high temperatures (steel mills).

Scope of the Report

The hazardous lighting market is attributed to the substitution of older lighting technologies by newer ones, due to their longer operational lifespan, lower energy consumption, and higher operating temperature range. Increasing adoption among different end-user industries, such as oil and gas, power generation, and pharmaceutical, is boosting the growth of the market.

Key Market Trends

LED Lighting to Account for Significant Market Share

• LED lighting for hazardous locations holds the potential to save operating and maintenance costs for facility operators. LED luminaires are rated for use in areas where flammable gases and vapors are present, under conditions defined by NEC Class I, Division 2, and IEC Zone 2. 
• LEDs produce no harmful ultraviolet or infrared radiation. These properties offer many benefits by lowering cooling costs, simplifying maintenance, prolonging product life, avoiding damage to eyes and sensitive equipment, and providing a margin of safety in a hazardous environment.
• Mining applications are often subjected to high vibrations, debris, chemicals, and explosive solutions. LEDs contain no moving parts and are more durable and better withstand shock and corrosion, and their ability to ignite with a spark is an added advantage.
