Lighting Fixtures Industry to 2016

Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/27/2012 -- Demand for lighting fixtures in the US is projected to increase 7.4 percent annually to $25.1 billion in 2016. This represents a recovery from the declines posted between 2006 and 2011, as both motor vehicle production and construction activity recover from low 2011 levels.

Commercialization of LED fixtures to be significant
The commercialization of light emitting diode (LED) lighting is also having a significant impact on the industry. LEDs are longer-lived and more energyefficient than incandescent lamps but currently only account for a small share of demand. LED-based lighting fixtures are expected to provide especially strong growth through 2016 due to the rapid pace of technological advances in the LED light sources which will make them more energy-efficient, brighter and more affordable. In addition, while some LEDs can be used in place of traditional incandescent bulbs, lighting fixture manufacturers are also developing fixtures which are specifically designed for LEDs and help to optimize their performance.

Lighting fixture products include nonportable and portable fixtures, as well as separately sold parts and accessories such as aftermarket lamp ballasts, fittings, switches, globes and shades. Demand for lighting fixtures is dominated by nonportable fixtures, which accounted for nearly two-thirds of total lighting fixture demand in 2011. Nonportable fixtures derive their dominant position from widespread use in the full range of construction and vehicular applications. Demand for nonportable fixtures is also expected to post the strongest gains through 2016, benefiting from the rebound in construction activity and vehicle production.

Residential market to post strongest growth rate
The residential market is expected to post the strongest gains, nearly doubling between 2011 and 2016, as new residential construction activity rebounds. While demand in new housing will provide the larger share of growth, the residential repair and improvement segment will also rise from low 2011 levels, supported by both increasing housing sales and greater consumer spending.

Throughout every major market segment, products that reduce the energy consumption of lighting will see the best prospects for growth. Much of this can be attributed to regulations banning the future sale of less energy-efficient lighting products, including the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007’s restrictions on the sale of incandescent lamps. These regulatory efforts will spur increased demand for lighting fixtures designed to work with fluorescent, halogen, high-intensity discharge and LED light sources.

US shipments of lighting fixtures to lag those of overseas manufacturers
Growth of US lighting fixture shipments will lag demand over the forecast period, as a significant portion of additional demand is expected to be supplied by overseas manufacturers, especially those in China. In 2011, Chinese firms accounted for over one-half of US lighting fixture imports and supplied almost one-fourth of US lighting fixture demand. Other important sources of US lighting fixture imports include Canada and Mexico.

Liverpool head to Carrow Road for vital fixture v Norwich City | The ...

By Christopher Boulay

Think the season’s finished? Far from it. Liverpool may only have one trophy left to play for, but there certainly is a great deal of pride at stake. The Reds head to Carrow Road to take on Paul Lambert’s Norwich City, in what could turn out to be much more than a “six-pointer.”

Liverpool currently sits in eighth place in the table, one point behind Everton and 16 points below Newcastle – the current holders of fourth place. However, it is not necessarily the races above that are of a concern to the club at the moment. The race in midtable is actually far more pressing. While it doesn’t have any rewards – Liverpool is already going to play in Europa League – it certainly has consequences.

The last time the Reds finished in the bottom-half of the table is a date so long ago that it is not worth mentioning. It can happen again, and with four matches remaining, it is important for the squad not to lose its collective head. The players were brilliant building up in attack against West Brom. They just couldn’t put the ball in the net, and it cost them the game. It’s a common theme with this side, and missed opportunities are a sizable part of why the club currently isn’t competing for Champions League.

With this in mind, a loss against Norwich City would be disastrous. After Norwich, the club plays Fulham on Tuesday. After that? Two matches against Chelsea (one being the FA Cup final) before heading to Wales to finish up the Premier League campaign against Swansea City. This isn’t a particularly comforting run of fixtures, and all of these occur in a little more than one fortnight. At the moment, eight points separate Liverpool from Stoke City in 14th.

So, how does the club right the wrongs and finish well to end the year? Score. Score a lot.

Liverpool drew Norwich 1-1 in the Anfield fixture, as the Canaries equalized courtesy of England squad hopeful Grant Holt. In order to defeat a team as formidable as Norwich, it is vital for the club to continue its attacking ways. The defense has not been without issues this season, but it is sound compared to most. If Liverpool finds it is able to put together a building attack like so many other missed opportunities this year – and finds its scoring touch – the club can roll over Norwich. However, this is much easier said than done.

If Steven Gerrard misses his second consecutive match, the likes of Jonjo Shelvey and Jay Spearing may be present in the central midfield. In addition, Maxi Rodriguez and Jordan Henderson could see action, as well.

Up front, it will be necessary for both Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez to put together good performances. Both have looked strong lately, and for Liverpool to take a step forward, manager Kenny Dalglish will need these players to be huge, again.

For Norwich, Lambert’s boys will likely depend on the goal-scoring prowess of Holt. Norwich may not be an overwhelmingly talented side, they know how to poach goals. Despite this, the East Anglian side know how to give them up, as well. The club has a minus-13 goal differential, and has given up 60 goals so far this campaign.

Playing at Carrow won’t be easy. Norwich fans are both classy and loud, and going on current form, it could be a tough ask for Liverpool to take all three points. But to be blunt, the time has passed for excuses. It is time to show if the Reds have anything left in the tank. How the club performs in the next couple of fixtures may shed a good deal of light on how it will look during the FA Cup final. It also may show how much they care about finishing respectably in the Premier League table.
