Increasing adoption of HID ballast in the automotive sector is driving growth of the HID ballast
market. HID ballast is used in car headlamps in order to increase their illumination efficiency.
Moreover, increasing adoption and sales of energy efficient lighting systems for enhanced
outdoor brightness in areas such as stadiums and parking places is positively contributing to
growth of the HID ballast market. Stringent regulations such as the Energy Independence and
Security Act of 2007, is fuelling demand for energy-efficient light sources such as LEDs. Most of
the legislations focus mainly on two bases, i.e., controlling the energy distribution balance
(supply – demand balance) and ensuring compliance with global environmental emission norms.
This is expected to boost adoption of low-energy light sources. These regulations are expected to
aid the growth of the HID ballast market during the forecast period.
In September, 2016, a revolutionary ban was imposed in China against incandescent light bulbs.
Europe is further accelerating the switchover to more ecological lighting sources by extending its
regulations to ban low-voltage halogen lamps, and the government of India is taking initiatives to
provide LED bulbs at subsidized rates. These factors are expected to aid in growth of the marker.
Global HID Ballast Market: Regional Insights
On the basis of geography, the global HID ballast market is segmented into North America,
Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, and Africa. North America accounted for the
largest share of the HID ballast market in 2017 and it is expected to witness further growth
during the forecast period. This is owing to increase in investments made by governments of
countries in the region to replace conventional lighting systems with energy efficient lighting
systems According to a report released by the US Energy Information Administration in July 2018,
the government extended a 30% tax credit for infrastructure developers who used energy
efficient electrical systems in their constructions. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is expected to witness
significant growth during the forecast period. This is owing to growing awareness regarding the
use of HID ballast in automotive, residential, and industrial sectors to increase energy efficiency.
The United Nations Economic & Social Cooperation for Asia Pacific’s Report released in 2017
stated that Asia Pacific adopted energy-efficient lighting systems in all new commercial and
residential buildings. According to a white paper released by the United Nations Environmental
Program (UNEP) in 2017, the Latin America market for HID ballast is also expected to showcase
growth due to increasing investment to replace tunnel and streetlights with energy efficient
lights. Moreover, according to a press release by the Center for Industrial Studies released in
November 2016, the increasing demand for decorative lighting in Latin America is expected to
aid in growth of the HID ballast market.
