Expansion of Hospital Infrastructure & Growing Need for Advanced Lighting Solutions is Accelerating the Market Development

Hospital lighting is regarded as a crucial component of hospital structure and management since it helps with patient rehabilitation and the realization of healthcare and treatment effects. It also places a strong emphasis on managing hospital operations, controlling costs, and the doctor-patient interaction. The two key drivers driving the growth of the hospital light market are the increase in a number of hospitals and the increased acceptance of sophisticated LED surgical lights. For instance, the American Hospital Association (AHA) estimated that there are 6,093 hospitals in the United States as per its Hospital Statistics.

Additionally, the increased government funding for the construction of energy-efficient hospitals has led to a greater penetration of LED-based lighting solutions than traditional lighting, further boosting market performance. Besides this, the growing R&D efforts aimed at harnessing cutting-edge technology and developing novel technologies are predicted to result in a significant increase in the demand for hospital lighting control in inpatient wards and ICUs. In order to meet the rising demand, manufacturers are keen to develop advanced hospital light systems.

For example, in January 2020, a cutting-edge lighting solution for medical purposes was introduced by Gentex Corporation, in collaboration with Mayo Clinic. This innovative lighting idea is the result of a partnership between an international leader in healthcare and a high-tech electronics company. The new smart lighting system from Gentex combines ambient room lighting with camera-controlled, adaptive task lighting to provide the best possible illumination for operating rooms and patient care areas.

Increasing Adoption of LED Lights is Leading to the Growth of Hospital Lights Market

Hospitals and clinics use a lot of energy due to their 24-hour operations, medical imaging technology, and unique clean air and sanitary requirements. In order to satisfy the enormous rise in energy consumption, energy efficiency has emerged as a key policy tool on a global scale. Thus, the hospital lighting system market is expected to be driven by the increasing adoption of energy-saving lighting systems in hospitals through innovative product technology and product design (primarily LED lighting), with minimum greenhouse gas emissions that reduce global warming. Additionally, hospital lighting systems are becoming more energy-efficient by incorporating both artificial and natural lighting sources, such as light fixtures and lamps in the lobbies and hallways.

In addition, LED lighting has benefits over conventional lighting systems such a long lifespan, low power consumption, safety, design flexibility, and less frequent maintenance. These advantages have led to an increase in the use of LED lighting in healthcare settings, which is boosting the market for hospital lighting systems. Medical professionals are also taking the necessary steps to create a proper environment in hospitals using efficient lighting systems in order to reduce visitor stress, cut down on errors, and improve conditions for both staff and patients in order to meet the growing demand for technologically advanced facilities from the expanding patient base.

High Product Costs & Product Recalls are Likely to be a Challenge for the Market Expansion

Despite a significant growth in demand for hospital lights, there are a few constraints associated with them which are anticipated to hamper the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, the high costs associated with the hospital lights is one of the major restraining factors of the hospital lights market. Additionally, the market's potential for growth, however, could be threatened by product recalls brought on by technical issues. Along with high product costs and product recalls, the highly consolidated market for lighting systems is anticipated to impede the market expansion. 

Acquisitions and the Introduction of New Products Accelerate Market Expansion

To increase their market share globally, major manufacturers are actively pursuing competitive marketing methods such as partnerships, technological advancements, investments, acquisitions, and R&D activities.  Merivaara introduced Q-Flow Fluent in January 2022 to broaden the scope of its Q-Flow surgical light line. The Q-Flow Fluent is the ideal model for clients who prioritize simplicity, longevity, and a high standard of hygiene in their operating rooms while yet expecting a top-notch surgical light. Again, TRILUX Switzerland acquired Monolicht GmbH, a local manufacturer of luminaires in January 2022.

With this acquisition, the Swiss subsidiary of the German professional lighting market leader further strengthens its capabilities and skills in the areas of architectural lighting and the manufacture of high-quality specialty luminaires. Monolicht will carry on its operations in Switzerland as a stand-alone regional subsidiary of TRILUX. Earlier, in March 2021, a new Certolux MSU-DFX luminaire with 365DisInFx UVA technology for cleaning surgical suites was introduced by the Viscor brand of Leviton Lighting.
