Market Dynamics
Introduction
Light tower is a permanent or stationary source of flood flight, which is ideal for use in a wide array of industries. The light towers can be categorized based on light type into metal halide and LED. These towers are powered by diesel, solar/hybrid, and direct power. They are widely used in industries such as oil & gas, mining, construction, events & sports, and others.
Market Drivers
The following factors are expected to contribute to the growth of the global light towers market growth:
- Increased demand from various end-use sectors: Light towers are used in various industries for different purposes including construction, maintenance, oil and gas, events and sports, mining, etc. The use of LED lighting systems, emergency lighting solutions, etc. in various industries is also pushing the light tower market. For instance – Fort Bragg, now known as Fort Liberty plans to install 15 Knightscope Blue Light Emergency Towers throughout the largest US Army base in North Carolina. Many such requirements from end-users are driving the demand for light towers globally.
- The invention of solar and battery-powered light towers: The advent of solar and battery-powered light towers is a boon to those who are working towards achieving zero emissions targets since solar-powered light towers produce zero emissions and are also noise-free. This has resulted in a high demand for LED technology for such light towers.
- Increasing Oil and Gas mining activities: Global consumption of oil and gas is gradually growing. The International Energy Agency (IEA.org) has stated that global upstream investments in oil and gas exploration are estimated to reach USD 528 billion in 2023. Operations in oil and gas mining require light towers that are spread over miles or acres of remote areas. The growing oil and gas industry hence is poised to create more demand for light towers.
