Lighting Fixtures Market Analysis

Market Overview

A light fixture or light fitting is an electrical device containing an electric lamp that provides illumination. The primary components of a lighting fixture include a lamp socket, for holding purpose, and a fixture body. Lighting fixtures with an electrical lamp are termed as a luminaire. Furthermore, lighting fixture is also comprised of electric ballast, reflectors, aperture, and an outer shell, which acts as a protective cover for the electric lamp. Over the years, lighting fixtures have evolved from conventional lighting technology and fluorescent lamps to energy-efficient lighting technology such as LED lamps.

The global lighting fixtures market is estimated to account for US$ 349.92 Bn in terms of value by the end of 2027.
