HID Lamps Steadily Lose Share

Global sales of HID lamps are declining as a result of the competitive threat of substitution posed by the LED lighting technology. With rising energy costs, consumers around the world are increasingly seeking to reduce energy consumption across all lighting applications. The growth in the HID lamps market is restrained by the technology’s energy efficiency and environmental concerns. Research, over the last couple of decades, has yielded improved lighting technologies that provide superior luminescence, while simultaneously consuming less energy. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) lighting technology is a semiconductor based lighting solution that offers significant energy efficiency, durability, and performance benefits over the HID technology.
