A study released in March by US market research firm IBISWorld entitled “Use of Electrical Lighting in the UK” begins with the statement that
Lighting is found in homes, workplaces, stores, hospitals, airports and sports stadiums.
The report estimates overall sales figures for the UK lighting market at £3.1 billion for the period 2013-2014, but says little about who is buying, how much, or why.
As is often the case with many reports, the focus is on new products, but not necessarily the most popular ones.
But in fact many in the marketplace are concerned with what really sells, products that may have been caught off guard by the scale of their success, or may even be ignoring industry trends,
Especially those that are moving away from proven technologies.
There is always room for “heavy duty” products that don't meet the requirements,
Such as a more versatile inlay or an unexpected new approach that could open up new markets or increase penetration.
In markets such as museums and galleries, many are in need of remodeling,
Which means that lighting designers and manufacturers are looking for ways to solve new problems or address old ones from a new perspective.
Requirements for ease of Installation, long term performance and energy savings are all driving sales.
