Summary of our market study

The French market for lamps and luminaires is estimated at over €4 billion

The global market for lamps and light bulbs, which includes various lighting devices such as incandescent bulbs, halogen lamps, compact fluorescent lamps and LEDs, is worth over $130 billion.

Asia-Pacific dominates the market, with a 47% share.

Trends in the French lighting market

Trends point to massive adoption of LEDs and intelligent lighting solutions, with production returning to France, particularly for professional lighting products.

Consumer spending on lighting is around €800 million, and the market for light bulbs is around 33 million units.

Production in France has declined due to competition from Asian manufacturers.

The market is divided between consumers, the automotive industry, the construction sector and public lighting.

Sales by French lamp and bulb manufacturers fell from 2.4 to 2.1 billion euros due to increased competition from Asian manufacturers and the move away from conventional incandescent and halogen bulbs.

The market is being driven by the adoption of LED technology and the renovation of obsolete systems. In commercial real estate, almost 80% of lighting installations are considered obsolete.

Intelligent lighting systems, which can be operated from smartphones and can adjust intensity and color, are taking their place in the market.

The number of companies and employees in the sector is declining.

Summary and extracts

1 Market overview

1.1 Presentation and market definition of lamps and bulbs

The light bulb and lamp market is composed of light bulbs (lighting devices, consisting of a transparent or translucent, gas-tight envelope containing a luminous body), lamps, and chandeliers.

There are several types of light bulbs, the main ones being incandescent bulbs, halogen lamps, compact fluorescent lamps, and LEDs. In addition, several consumer segments are to be distinguished. Households are not the only ones to consume lamps and bulbs, for decoration or maintenance.  Automobile and construction are two industries that require a large number of light bulbs and lamps. Public lighting is also an important customer sector.

The world market is growing due to the urbanization of developing countries. It should thus grow by 4.3% per year between 2020 and 2027 driven by the global construction market and the development of LED technologies, particularly in Asia.

The French market, for its part, is in a phase of decline in recent years with the complete change in the market structure and the strong competition from Asian countries The ban on incandescent and halogen light bulbs has led to an upheaval in the sector and the players have had to close their production lines, often without replacing them, due to a lack of know-how in LEDs. Most of the supply has been relocated to Asian countries The number of French players on this market and their turnover is therefore constantly declining.

The main trends are the massive use of LEDs (replacing other light bulbs) but also the increase in the use of smart lighting with the intensity, color, etc, being managed remotely on a smartphone. Finally, some players are relocating to France, particularly for professional lighting products with the aim to be as close as possible to customers, who are more demanding than private individuals.
