Overall prospects
are perhaps negative in the short term as economic growth
appears to be slowing down, though in the medium to longer
term future, significant government spending allied to the
impact of the Olympic investment programme and the drive to
greater efficacy in lighting should combine to generate more
positive market growth.
Sustained
expenditure by the Government on the education, health and
infrastructure sectors has underpinned demand for lighting
products. In addition, innovations and lighting design in
retail and other commercial applications have provided some
opportunities for lighting manufacturers and suppliers to add
value to their product offering and achieve product
differentiation.
In terms of
product mix, lamp sales in 2007 were estimated to reach around
£385 million, reflecting relatively static market performance
in value terms, whilst the luminaires market grew by around 3%
to around £1.04 billion. By 2012, lamp sales are likely to
grow only modestly, whilst the luminaires sector is expected
to achieve more significant growth.
