Highlights
The world trade of lighting fixtures can be estimated in around US$ 45 billion in exports and US$ 41 billion of imports for the year 2017. Compared to the previous year, the world trade registered modest results: a slight contraction of -0.4% for lighting fixtures exports and an increase of 2.7% for imports. On the other hand, during 2017 the value of the world trade of lamps registered a massive increase of 44%, as exports grew by 45.6%, imports by 42.1%. Such a result can be mostly attributable to a change in the code system of the United Nations Comtrade database.
Starting from the year 2017, they have introduced the code 85.39.50 that includes “Lamps; light-emitting diode (LED) lamps”, which is very likely to be the main source of such an increase. In 2017, the largest importing countries for lighting fixtures are, in descending order, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, and the Netherlands; the major exporters are China, Germany, Italy (that surpassed Mexico and the USA), the United States, Mexico, and the Netherlands. As for lighting fixtures, also for lamps, China is the main exporter and the United States are the main importer. Germany and Poland are respectively second and third largest world exporters of lamps; Germany and China the second and third importers. China, Germany, Hungary, Belgium, and Poland all reported trade surplus in 2017.
