Tunnel road lighting must provide comfort and safety and maximize the visual performance of the users. Used generally for transition and interior zones for long tunnels, and in short tunnels, or low speed tunnels for all zones. Asymmetrical lighting can also be a means of reinforcing the luminance level in one way tunnels. Tunnel lights have come a long way over the years, with energy-efficient, high-performance lighting that lasts long. LED lights have made their mark in this industry, as visibility is one of the most important features needed in tunnels.
Market Scope and Structure Analysis
Tunnel lighting has a wide range of advantages such as improving road conditions in a tunnel, reducing driver fatigue, improving tunnel capacity in order to ensure traffic safety, and improving visual enjoyment in a tunnel, among others. Tunnel lighting allows safe entrance and exit of traffic, illuminating the tunnel interior in a way that enables drivers to adjust quickly to the light. This helps in avoiding any mishap and maintaining the drive through the enclosed area without obstacles and the need to reduce speed. Rise in population, increased investments in infrastructure by governments and surge in global transport are expected to drive the growth of the global tunnel lighting market in the next decade. Moreover, increase in focus on road construction, reconstruction, and redevelopment of major road projects is expected to contribute significantly to the expansion of the tunnel lighting market size over the coming years.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- COVID-19 pandemic has shut down the production of various products in the tunnel lighting market attributed to the lockdown in countries worldwide. This has hampered the growth of tunnel lighting market from the last few months and is likely to continue during 2021.
- COVID-19 has already affected the sales of tunnel lighting market in the first quarter of 2021 and is anticipated to cause a negative impact on the market growth throughout the year.
- The major demand for tunnel lighting was previously noticed from giant manufacturing countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, UK, and China, which are negatively affected by the spread of the coronavirus, thereby declining the demand for tunnel lighting products.
- Further, potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and financial recovery of companies is totally based on its cash reserves. Tunnel lighting market manufacturers can afford a full lockdown only for a few months, after which the players have to modify their investment plans. For instance, various players in the market halted their production activities for several weeks to reduce the expenses. Whereas few players also adopted employee lay-offs to sustain during the COVID-19 health crisis
- Tunnel lighting market are expected to focus on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond toward immediate crises and find new ways of working after COVID-19. For instance, provision of sanitizers, maintaining social distancing, as well as ensuring the vaccination of every employee in the company can assist in promoting the health & safety of the workforce.
Top Impacting Factors
Rise in population is forcing nations to invest more in transportation infrastructure. The number of tunnel construction projects is on the rise, globally. This surge in construction of tunnels is fuelling demand for tunnel lighting, which is expected to remain consistent in the near future. Countries in the Asia Pacific region are investing majorly in infrastructure as a part of their development strategies. This is expected to pick pace in the future. Countries such as India and China are leading the market in the region, as they are accelerating infrastructural development in both, road, and rail transportation. These factors are expected to boost the tunnel lighting market in the next decade. Countries across the world are focusing on improving transportation infrastructure, due to which, the tunnel lighting industry is moving aggressively in the forward direction. Rise in government initiatives and support along with investments toward the adoption of energy-efficient lighting solutions are key driving factors for the growth of the market.
Market Trends
- Presence of several international as well as regional players makes the global tunnel lighting market highly competitive. Key players in the market are focusing on collaborations and partnerships to expand their reach across the world. Furthermore, companies are investing in research & development to find new applications of tunnel lighting in order to stay ahead of the competition in the market. For instance, CCS Inc., in partnership with Yokohama-based lighting manufacturer AITEC SYSTEM Co., Ltd. (AItec), has launched CCSAItec, a new brand of line lights that combine CCS’s extensive lighting knowledge and AItec’s expertise in line scan illumination.
- Surge in demand for energy efficiency and sustainability owing to environmental concerns is projected to propel the market growth in the near future. Stringent guidelines vary across geographical regions in the tunnel lighting market, which has made manufacturers focus on rolling out energy-efficient products. For instance, FV32 LED is an energy-efficient lighting solution adapted to a wide range of different tunnel applications, including town and motorway tunnels and underpasses, to ensure safety at all times. This robust luminaire offers a high level of protection against corrosion, impacts and vibrations. It provides a low maintenance versatile solution.
- Tunnel lighting is widely being used in the various ongoing tunnel projects all across the globe. For instance, the Sivok- Rangpo tunnel project, implemented by NFR zone along with IRCON International Limited, which was formerly Indian Railways Construction Company Limited, is also likely to give a boost to the tourism industry in the Northeast.
