Research and Markets: Rising Awareness Levels on Energy Efficiency and Boom in Construction Sector Energize Lighting Controls and Systems Market in India

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9ddf12/analysis_of_the_li) has
announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "Analysis of the
Lighting Controls & Systems Market in India" to their offering.

Until recently, the lighting controls and systems market in India had witnessed
strong growth, driven by investments in commercial, industrial, residential, and
infrastructural construction. The market looks premature and unregulated, the
Indian lighting controls and systems market will witness a downward trend
between 2009 and 2010 due to the economic meltdown and the reduction in
construction activity. "Rising energy cost has become a major driver for this
market because of the insufficient power production in the country," notes the
analyst of this research service. "The evolution of energy-efficient
technologies and the need to save energy and the environment have led to the
introduction of energy-efficient products." Higher income levels, increase in
focus on energy saving requirements and greater need for occupant comfort have
contributed to revved up customer interest on lighting controls. With growing
awareness on energy saving and the popularity of green building concepts in
India, the lighting controls and systems market is evolving rapidly.
Technological developments have enabled more flexibility and compatibility to
facilitate system integration. Other benefits conferred by this technology are
carbon emission mitigation and reduction in utility bills.

Higher spending in global R&D infrastructure, improvements in technology and
best-in-class manufacturing have helped unleash a slew of products suitable for
both indoor and outdoor installation across various end-user industries.
Lighting greatly enhances the ambience in hotels, restaurants, offices, and
private houses. High-end lighting controls offer enormous potential, which will
be further amplified by light-emitting diode (LED) technology. Besides these two
segments, the industrial sector, encompassing factories, workshops, and
warehouses is another growth segment. Airports, metro railway stations,
auditoriums, hospitals, and educational institutions such as schools, colleges,
universities, and libraries are other promising arenas. Demand is expected to
strengthen as the pace of growth in the Indian construction sector begins to
accelerate. The indoor segment remains a lucrative sector as demand from
commercial and residential buildings continues on an upward trajectory. In the
commercial environment, electronic ballasts are supplanting electromagnetic
ballasts owing to the capacity of energy savings. LEDs are deployed in new
constructions rather that retrofit installation. The future looks promising for
retrofit installation in the wake of the recent evolution of wireless technology
and the advantage of easy installation.

The installation and maintenance of lighting control systems requires qualified
personnel to avoid indecorous system designing and poor installation.
Knowledgeable and qualified manpower is mandatory for systems with high-end
automation products that need to be integrated with other systems. Suppliers
should ensure availability of qualified manpower and clearly define the benefits
of these systems. "To obtain the edge over competition, it is crucial for
lighting control vendors to offer seamless and efficient products, services and
solutions at extremely competitive prices, design the system at the initial
stages of the project by showing a realistic return on investment with the help
of qualified integrators and back it up with effective service and training
support to customers.
