Integration of IoT Technology with Lighting Systems to Benefit Dimmers Market

Pune, India, May 2020, MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has published a Half-Cooked Research Report on the Global Dimmers Market.

Market Highlights

Market Research Future (MRFR) expects the Dimmers Market 2020 to touch a striking valuation of USD 16.23 Billion by 2030-end. It is also projected that the market can possibly procure a CAGR of 11.24% between 2022 and 2030 (review period). We will provide covid-19 impact analysis with the report, offering an in-depth review following the coronavirus disease outbreak.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The worldwide lockdown on account of the COVID-19 outbreak has led to an economic crisis that has derailed almost every industry. Multiple business sectors are bearing the brunt of the pandemic, and the intelligent lighting industry is no exception. Post the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, companies were faced with tough decisions, in terms of finance and cost-cutting measures to ensure uninterrupted flow of operations. The lockdown situation was the short term impact that the novel coronavirus has left on the manufacturing industry worldwide, resulting in plummeting demand from semiconductor consumers. The weak demand has had a domino effect throughout the semiconductor industry, with the drop in the prices. The COVID-19 outbreak and the resultant lockdown has led to shutting down of operations, along with e-commerce and retail stores, which has made the supply chains fragile and has created a larger gap between demand and supply. Further, the electronic components’ supply has taken a hit owing to the shutdown in China.

Considering the long-term impact of COVID-19, governments are striving to handle the situation by implementing favorable initiatives as well as policies such as financial packages, lower interest rate as well as exceptions in tax. Even as the world is struggling to find a COVID-19 breakthrough, the dimmers market can recover to some extent during the review period, given the mounting demand across the healthcare sector and other industries.

Growth Inducers and Top Deterrents

Although the COVID-19 impact has been brutal on the intelligent lighting industry, the demand among consumers for energy-saving lighting systems has risen significantly, leading to better growth prospects for dimmers. The integration of IoT with lighting and the increasing adherence to standard regulations for lighting products also work in favor of the dimmers market. The market growth is also induced by the rapidly increasing urbanization worldwide combined with the introduction of modular dimmers.

Manufacturers are working on developing electrical switches that are not only energy-efficient but also need lesser maintenance. Also, the esthetically appeal of the dimmers is also paid attention to by the manufacturers, in order to draw in more number of consumers. This factor is supported by the increasing demand from smart cities as well as smart homes across the globe, which benefits the dimmers market to a large extent.

The accelerated demand for sustainable and energy-efficient lighting system, surge in Internet of Things (IoT) to design connected and smart lighting systems has boosted the adoption of dimmers among end-users. The increasing focus of the commercial space owners on being updated with the modern lighting technology is backed by the constant innovations in the lighting industry, and the constant efforts to cater to every need of the end-users remain the backbone of the dimmers market.

Market Segmentation

The dimmer market has been studied thoroughly by MRFR experts, who have considered the primary segments of type, control, product, connectivity and application for better comprehension.

The types of dimmers covered in the market research include high wattage dimmers, incandescent/halogen, universal, magnetic low voltage (MLV), electronic low voltage (ELV), and others.

Control-wise, the dimmers industry caters to three-way dimming, single-pole dimming, and others.

The products included in the study are tabletop, rotary, slide, touch, toggle, and others.

Connectivity-dependent market segmentation covers wired dimmers as well as wireless dimmers.

The applications of dimmers are commercial, industrial and residential.

Regional Insight

The region-based categories in the dimmers market include Europe, South America, APAC or Asia Pacific, MEA or the Middle East & Africa along with North America.

In 2018, Europe was reported to be the most successful market for dimmers and it is projected to maintain its winning streak throughout the appraisal period. The mounting popularity of autotransformer dimmers in the region, especially in the entertainment sector has been a governing factor inducing the market growth. The presence of strict government regulations as well as norms to reduce errors that result from low maintenance of electronic products compels consumers in the region to install safe and durable dimmers at homes or other types of infrastructure.

APAC is another notable market for dimmers, with projections of it expanding at a significant pace in the coming years. High availability of affordable electrical switches has boosted their uptake in diverse applications like hospitality, residential and commercial buildings, and more. The rapidly blossoming construction industry in India and China can also favor the dimmers market, since new construction requires more advanced dimmers.
