Light towers are portable equipment comprising high-intensity electric lamps and masts, typically affixed to a trailer with a generator setup at the rear to power the bulbs in conditions of insufficient artificial or natural light. In the realm of light towers, power is commonly generated through diesel, solar energy, batteries, or hybrid methods to illuminate the bulbs. These towers find applications in construction, infrastructure development, the oil and gas industry, mining, military and defense operations, as well as in emergency and disaster relief scenarios.
The primary categories of light towers include stationary and mobile variants. Stationary light towers are affixed or mounted structures on a specific base, oriented either horizontally or vertically, equipped with high electric lamps of varying mast sizes, making them suitable for fixed-position use. These light towers employ different lighting technologies, including metal halide, LED, and electricity. They can feature either manual lighting technology or hydraulic lighting technology. Light towers come in various fuel types, including solar/hybrid, diesel, and direct power. End users of light towers encompass industries such as oil and gas, mining, construction, events and sports, among others.
The light towers research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides light tower statistics, including light towers industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with light tower share, detailed light towers segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the light towers industry. This light towers research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The light towers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.07 billion in 2023 to $5.36 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The expansion witnessed in the historical period can be attributed to rapid industrialization, robust economic growth in emerging markets, an increase in disposable income, and growth in the construction sector.
The light towers market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.51 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to escalating urbanization, a rise in investment for light towers operation, increased funding for infrastructure development projects, and an uptick in oil and gas production and exploration activities. Key trends expected in the forecast period involve a heightened focus on fuel efficiency for sustainable resource utilization and expanding the global customer base, an increased emphasis on developing light towers utilizing solar radiation as an energy source for silent and cleaner operations, a concentration on product innovation to maintain competitiveness in the market, and numerous opportunities for introducing light towers with voice annunciators and monitoring sensors to enhance overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) on the production line.
The growth of the light tower market is significantly driven by the upsurge in infrastructure activities. Light towers find widespread use on various sites such as mining, construction, accidents, rescue operations, and more. Particularly crucial on infrastructure construction sites operating during night hours or in remote locations with inadequate lighting, light towers enhance safety for workers and boost productivity. For instance, in June 2021, Stats NZ Tatauranga Aotearoa reported a 3.7 percent increase in building activities in March 2021 in New Zealand, while residential activities rose by 4.3 percent compared to 2020. Moreover, the US Census Bureau highlighted a growth rate of 10.2 percent, with construction activities' value increasing from $1,626.4 billion in 2021 to $1,792.9 billion in 2022. Thus, the escalating infrastructure activities contribute significantly to the expansion of the light tower market.
The growing demand for light towers is further fueled by the increase in oil and gas production and exploration activities. Light towers play a crucial role in enhancing visibility, reducing shadows, and preventing accidents at oil and gas sites. For example, India plans to double the area dedicated to oil and gas exploration and production to 0.5 million square kilometers by 2025 and 1 million square kilometers by 2030. Similarly, Africa has intensified upstream activities to amplify oil and gas production. This surge in production and exploration activities is poised to drive the demand for light towers, contributing to market growth in the forecast period.
A key trend in the light tower market is the emphasis on new product development by companies in the industry. With numerous manufacturing companies in the light tower sector, there is a strategic focus on innovation to expand market leadership. For instance, in 2021, Generac Power Systems, Inc., an American-based manufacturer of backup power generation products, introduced the Generac's V20 PRO tower. This all-in-one mobile lighting tower operates on different fuelling systems such as diesel, battery, hybrid, external power, and solar energy within a single machine. The product offers versatility with various external sources for charging battery packs, including a solar panel kit, a generator, and mains power supply.
Companies in the light tower market are also aligning their strategies with sustainability goals by emphasizing fuel-saving features in their products. Given the depletion of nonrenewable fuel sources, there is a concerted effort to optimize resource utilization. In September 2021, Atlas Copco, a Swedish multinational industrial company, launched the HiLight V5+ LED Light tower, providing fuel savings of up to 65% compared to traditional fuel consumption. This is especially beneficial for challenging site conditions in construction, outdoor events, infrastructure projects, mining, and temporary public lighting installations.
In September 2021, Trime S.R.L., an Italy-based light tower manufacturer, entered a strategic partnership with Tecnogen Spa, a multinational generator manufacturing company based in Italy. Additionally, Trime S.R.L. acquired FTG Equipment Solutions, a distribution company in the United States specializing in generators and light towers. Through this acquisition, Trime S.R.L. aims to target the American light equipment industry, enhance production through a distribution strategy, and fortify its product portfolio for various infrastructure projects.
