Tunnel Lighting Market Analysis

The railway plays a pivotal role in the transport system of any economy, as the development of trade, industry, and commerce is largely dependent upon the development of transport infrastructure. The railways are not only considered the cost efficient but also a reliable source of transport. Large amounts of goods and passengers can be transported over long distances with minimum possibilities of failures or delays compared to roadways. Moreover, the load capability of trains is elastic as the number of wagons can be increased or decreased. Furthermore, it is one of the environmentally friendly means of transport as modern rail engines which are electrically powered compared to conventional diesel-powered engines. Due to these benefits, governments across the globe are increasingly focusing on the development of their railway network. Thus, heavy emphasis on developing railway networks across the globe is projected to drive the market of tunnel lighting market.

Tunnel Lighting Market Overview

Good tunnel lighting guarantees that the driver adapts to the light inside the tunnel at the entrance of the tunnel. It builds a safe driving environment by providing adequate lighting through the tunnel. The driver should enter the tunnel without any negative impact, pass through the tunnel and exit the tunnel. Especially daytime illumination in tunnels has more specific requirements due to adaptation problems. The low levels of illumination in the tunnel will cause the driver to experience temporary blindness at the tunnel entrance and inside the driver who has been exposed to high levels of sunlight for a long time. For this reason, the lighting in the tunnel must be changed gradually to allow the driver to adapt.

Tunnel Lighting Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Need for Road Safety

Roadway tunnels, especially highway tunnels, are among the most accident-prone zones due to the high speed of vehicles. Thus, it is important to maintain sufficient lighting conditions inside the tunnel to ensure a smooth flow of traffic. Optimum lighting allows vehicle drivers to identify obstacles and navigate through the tunnel without reducing speed. The CIE Guidance for tunnel lighting systems compels system integrators to consider 5 key areas—transition zone tunnel lighting system, access zone tunnel lighting system, exit zone tunnel lighting system, and interior zone tunnel lighting system. Furthermore, the threshold zone tunnel lighting system and the growing road networks in remote and mountainous terrains are leading to the construction of newer roadway tunnels. Hence, the rise in the number of roadway tunnel development projects, coupled with the increasing importance of road safety, is driving the growth of the tunnel lighting market.

Increasing Adoption Of Environmentally Tunnel System Lighting Alternatives

The issue of lighting reaching landfills is compounded by the fact that various pieces of waste lighting equipment arriving at landfills are hazardous. Fluorescent lighting, which normally includes energy-saving bulbs and lighting tubes, frequently contains mercury and is hence classified as hazardous waste below the WEEE Directive adopted by both the UK and the European Union (EU). Lighting equipment is a danger to human health and the environment, with the risk of hazardous materials contaminating the soil, air, and groundwater. Lighting remanufacture provides a safer and more secure alternative to this. The process involves repairing or replacing components, disassembling used lighting fixtures, and then reassembling them to a satisfactory condition that is as good as the original. Reducing electronic waste and extending the life cycle of products helps contribute to fostering more circular practices in the industry. Thus, the increasing adoption of environmental tunnel system lighting alternatives is creating more opportunities for the market.
