Lighting Industry in India

The lighting industry in India is about 9500 crores growing at the rate of 12% CAGR a year and is expected to maintain this growth rate over the next decade. The growth of this industry has been accelerated as a result of the development of infrastructure, expansion of the transport horizon, exponential growth of middle class income and the upsurge of the real estate boom across India. At the same time the lighting industry has undergone a huge transformation in terms of technology up-gradation, new product innovation, creative lighting design and new areas of application. In addition to this there has been a strong demand for conservation of energy and the need to reduce the carbon foot print to combat climate change. In India lighting alone consumes 18% of the energy generated and the demand is increasing by leaps and bounds. A recent study suggests that by the end of next decade more than 50% of lighting use will move from conventional lights to LED based lighting systems because of its energy efficient performance and hassle free maintenance.

In order to meet this kind of growth in demand the lighting industry in all sectors will need a large number of professionals trained in lighting to back up the industry in the domain of R&D, QC, production and design and technology adaptation. At the same time, there is also a growing demand by architects, consultants and city planners for Illumination Engineers.
