North America is the second-largest market, with lighting contactor systems accounting for a considerable portion of the overall lighting control system, particularly in the United States. A lighting contactor is a device that switches an electrical power circuit both electrically and mechanically.

Feeder disconnect type 2, type 3, and 4-pole lighting contactors rated up to 2,250 amperes are the three primary kinds of lighting contactors. For individual branch circuits or lighting control, these contactors are utilized to regulate big blocks of load with low-voltage control. Furthermore, the worldwide lighting contactor market is expected to increase significantly, owing mostly to the developed economies. Energy efficiency has become a primary driver of the global lighting contactor market's expansion. Furthermore, governments all around the world are adopting legislation to encourage the use of energy-efficient gadgets because of the benefits they provide, such as lower energy usage and cost savings.

Global Lighting Contactor market is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period, as the systems are mainly based on increasing need for energy efficiency. European region targets 20% energy savings target by 2020. North America is the second largest market, with lighting contactor system accounting for a significant share in the entire lighitng control system, especially in the US. It has been estimated that Asia-Pacific region will grow at the highest rate during the forecast period.   

The key players of global turboexpanders market are -

Siemens AG (Germany), Rockwell Automation (US), ABB Ltd (Switzerland), Schneider Electric SE (France), Legrand (France), Eaton (Ireland), Acuity (US), Sprecher Schuh (US), Hager (Germany), and Federal Electric (US).

Industry News

• PR Lighting has announced the release of their newest beam intelligent light in Lighting Contactor, the XR 580 Beam, in March 2019. It is said to include PHILIPS MSD Platinum 25R 550W with 100V 240VAC, according to the firm. The light's head can pan 540 degrees and tilt 270 degrees with auto position correction.


• In August 2019, LG Innotek announced the development of Nexlide-HD (High Definition), a flexible three-dimensional lighting system for automobiles that delivers brilliant, homogeneous light from five directions.

Lighting contactor is an electrically as well as mechanically operated device used for switching an electrical power circuit. Lighting contactors can be divided in three broad categories, namely, feeder disconnect type 2, type 3, and 4-pole lighting contactors rated up to 2,250 amperes. These contactors are used to control large blocks of load with low-voltage control for individual branch circuit or lighting control. Moreover, it is estimated that there will be a substantial growth of the global lighting contactor market mostly because of the developed economies.

Energy-efficiency has become the major driver for the growth of the global lighting contactor market. Additionally, governments around the globe are developing policies to encourage the use of energy-efficient devices, due to their benefits including reduced energy consumption and savings in cost. According to International Energy Efficiency (IEA), global energy demand rose by 1.9% in 2017 led by strong economic growth, ultimately driving energy efficiency.

Indoor segment is becoming popular with users as there is increasing need for proper lighting control system in commercial, residential, and industrial applications.  Outdoor installation is usually preferred in the open areas mainly available in developing nations. A major advantage of outdoor lighting contactor is its simple design and construction featuring a controller. The outdoor lighting contactor are comparatively low-cost solutions for outdoor lighting. A major disadvantage of outdoor lighting contactor is a space constraint. In most of the developed economies, space can be a big hindrance compelling the end-users to go for indoor lighting contactors.

Global Market Segmentation

Global lighting contactor market has been segmented based on type, installation, end- user, and region. Based on type, the market is classified into indoor and outdoor. Indoor segment is leading the market and has the largest market share, mainly due to increasing need for proper lighting control system in commercial, residential, and industrial applications. Based on type, the market is segmented into electrically and mechanically held. Electrically held segment dominates the market as these contactors operate quietly and consume less energy. The global market of lighting contactor is further segmented based on end-user, including residential, industrial, commercial, and other segments. Commercial and industrial segments of the global market are estimated to register the highest market share during the forecast period.

The global lighting contactor market is projected to grow at a high rate during the forecast period, mainly due to the growing demand for energy efficiency and adoption of IoT in lighting control system. Governments around the world have developed attractive incentives, rewarding the use of energy-efficient equipment, which further drives the growth of the market, globally.
