Emergency Lighting - Global Market Trajectory & Analytics

Global Emergency Lighting Market to Reach $7.3 Billion by 2026

Emergency lighting systems are designed for automatically illuminating the building in the event of electricity failures and assisting in safe and efficient evacuation of the building, thereby preventing occupants from panicking, and suffering emotional distress and injury. By improving visibility, these lighting systems also assist emergency and rescue teams in performance of their tasks. The various types of emergency lighting include safety lighting and stand-by lighting. Stringent safety and fire prevention regulations have and will continue to provide new opportunities for growth of emergency lighting systems. For example, BS:5266, the British Standard regulations, are designed for assisting with the designing and installation processes associated with emergency lighting systems. Expected recovery in construction activities the world over, post pandemic will power growth in the near future. Additionally, rapid urbanization, together with increasing disposable incomes of the global middle-class will also fuel growth in the coming years. The primary factors influencing growth for emergency lighting systems` batteries include rapid technological advancements, environmental regulations, intense competition, and frequently changing government policies. Recent years are also witness to rapid advancements in battery technology, with the lithium ion technology enabling the development of smaller, more powerful batteries and other back-up solutions. Another emerging technological trend is the increased demand for nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries for use in both exit-signage and pathway lighting.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for Emergency Lighting estimated at US$5 Billion in the year 2020, is projected to reach a revised size of US$7.3 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% over the analysis period.
