Market Dynamics

Driver

The increasing awareness regarding the benefits associated with explosion-proof lighting

Explosion-proof lighting has several benefits in industrial installation other than general or conventional lighting. It ensures more safety and reliability than the conventional type of lighting, which drives the growth of the explosion proof lighting market. These lightings have several remarkable features, including robust construction, which means they are constructed with durable material that increases the lifespan of the lighting and makes it more corrosion-resistant and maintained in extreme temperatures. Its enclosed design prevents fire or sparks from escaping, making it reliable and suitable for flammable gases and dust particles in the environment. The explosion-proof lighting enhanced energy efficiency and ensured safety, durability, longevity, enhanced visibility, and regulatory compliance, which are collectively useful.

Restraint 

Complexity in integration

Integrating confidential computing solutions into existing IT infrastructures can be complex and time-consuming. Organizations may face challenges in ensuring compatibility with legacy systems, leading to potential delays and increased costs during implementation. Many organizations still lack awareness or a clear understanding of what confidential computing entails and how it can benefit their operations. This knowledge gap can slow market growth as potential customers may be hesitant to invest in technologies they don’t fully understand.

Opportunity 

The rising adoption of explosion-proof lighting in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry

The rising installation of explosion-proof lighting in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries provides enhanced visibility and energy efficiency, optimizes power consumption, and prevents potential accidents in the unit due to the increased availability of the gaseous, alcohol, dust, and other toxic chemical materials in the environment that are more likely to capture fire in air with the exposer of heat. Thus, the higher availability of inflammable substances in the air and the stringent government policies in the implementation of fireproof components in industrial units are proving to be opportunistic. 

Type Insights

The general lighting segment dominated the explosion proof lighting market with the largest share in 2023. The increasing adoption of explosion-proof lighting as the general lighting in the commercial and industrial areas to provide sufficient visibility in the industries and commercial areas is driving the explosion-proof lighting as the general lighting.

Light Type Insights

The LED segment dominated the explosion proof lighting market in 2023. The rising awareness regarding energy saving and the adoption of more wireless connectivity applications are driving the LED type of lighting in explosion-proof lighting. The adoption of LED lights in explosion-proof lighting industries is comparatively more affordable due to their lower maintenance cost than other conventional lighting. LED lighting has a longer lifespan as compared to other lighting, though it reduces the time-to-time replacement and maintenance requirements. Additionally, LED lighting is more energy efficient than other sources; it requires less power for operations due to naturally reduced power consumption. The increased adoption of LEDs is retrofitting about 60-75% of the improvement in power consumption. Other than these, LEDs have other benefits such as better performance, the fact that they can be used in a rough environment, the fact that they do not contain any toxic mercury, the fact that they have instant warm-ups during switch on and off, and others.
