LED Usage Projected to Grow Nearly 20%Efficiency, payback benefits will drive implementation

LED luminaires will continue to surge in popularity and usage, with the market expected to

reach $216 billion by 2024. A recent study from Navigant Research shows that due to

falling LED prices, the technology has become an economical choice for almost all

applications and the market will grow by an estimated 19% between 2015 and 2024.

The report also points to shorter payback periods, which are now between 2-4 years in

many areas as a reason for increased interest in LEDs for retrofits and new installations.

Another contributing factor is legislation that bans the use of inefficient or outdated

equipment, creating less competition for LEDs.

“For commercial buildings, the shift to LEDs has been the most dramatic in retrofit projects

where older bulbs are being replaced specifically to improve efficiency. This change is

happening at such a fast rate that LEDs are expected to knock inefficient technologies like

incandescent and halogen bulbs out of the market by 2024,” says Jesse Foote, senior

research analyst at Navigant Research.
