France Outdoor LED Lighting - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2024 - 2030)

Smart city projects drive the growth of the LED lighting market

• Public spaces held the largest share by value and volume in 2023. During the pandemic, the French government imposed temporary closures and restrictions on entertainment centers, shopping malls, parks, travel, events, etc., to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. These measures by government agencies impacted public spending. When lockdown restrictions eased in 2021, the open public spaces accelerated demand for parking near railway stations, shopping malls, and airports. The government also introduced initiatives to ease COVID-19 measures and develop energy efficiency and sustainability initiatives. One of them was to reduce the use of halogen lamps and replace them with LED lighting.
• To facilitate smart city development, the country signed project agreements with lighting manufacturers. One such agreement is the Jardins de l'Arche lighting project, an urban renewal project by AWP, an architectural firm. The district covers an area of 15 hectares and is intended as a center of culture and entertainment. The project encloses a 600 m pedestrian promenade that leads from La Grande Arche to the terraces of Nanterre, a sports arena that can accommodate up to 40,000 spectators, and to areas intended for commercial, administrative, school, and hospitality buildings. The French lighting design studio 8’18’’ was responsible for lighting this new public space and pedestrian promenade. Such developments and projects involve the use of LED lighting, increasing the demand and market value of these lights in the country.
