According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Energy Efficient Lamps and Ballasts Market is accounted for $4.7 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $9.0 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period. Energy efficient lamps, including LEDs, CFLs, and HID lamps, provide effective illumination with significantly reduced energy consumption compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. These lamps offer longer life spans, produce less heat, and come in various colour temperatures and brightness levels. Ballasts, particularly electronic ones, regulate current flow to fluorescent and HID lamps, optimizing their performance and reducing energy losses. The combination of energy efficient lamps and ballasts leads to lower electricity bills, decreased greenhouse gas emissions, and minimized environmental impact.
According to the Energy Saving Trust, British households can save up to $250 each year by switching to energy efficient LED lighting which saves them between $15 and $18 per light bulb
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing awareness of energy conservation
