Increase in household size to bolster the growth of LED usage in the region

• The Middle East & Africa had a population of 484 million people as of 2018, with that number predicted to climb to around 500 million by 2030.

There are expected to be 231.2 thousand residences in the entire United Arab Emirates over the coming years. The building of new rooms will consequently boost sales of LEDs.
• In the Middle East and Africa, the typical household size exceeds five people. In Saudi Arabia, about half of the population owns a home, with 5.46 million households counted in the country. In Israel, there were 681.5 thousand homes with five or more people as of 2020. There must be more than two rooms in a house to accommodate five people.

• In the Middle East and Africa, 2.33 million automobiles were produced in total in 2022, and 2.45 million were anticipated to be produced in 2023. Although it is still in its early stages, the electric vehicle (EV) market across the Middle East and African countries is already showing hopeful signs of growth. As local governments become more aware of the need to reduce their carbon footprint, they are passing legislation to promote the use of EVs. The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman, for instance, have announced their net-zero targets. Several countries in the region are also offering tax incentives and subsidies to promote the purchase of electric vehicles. Due to the enormous potential that EVs present in this region, it is projected that demand for LED lighting will rise.
