Middle East and Africa Tunnel Lighting Market

Market Introduction

The MEA includes South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Nigeria, and the Rest of MEA. The region is projected to have a rapid rise in urbanization and industrialization, which would further drive the growth of diverse industries. The Gulf Countries Council is planning various strategies to encourage collaboration, enhance innovation, streamline transportation, and improve their national economies. Consequently, it creates several opportunities to augment the infrastructure across the region. As the MEA region is growing swiftly, major cities are becoming congested, and there is a surge in infrastructure construction. To meet the rising demand for infrastructure and address spatial limitations in developed cities, there is an increase in construction of tunnels. Thus, leading to increased demand for installation of tunnel lighting for various applications, such as, mining and railway tunnels. Surge in use of LEDs is the major factor driving the growth of the MEA tunnel lighting market.

The major countries in the MEA facing the economic impact of COVID-19 pandemic include Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Morocco, and Kuwait. The region is projected to register a swift decline in manufacturing activities due to industries shutting down and technology innovations coming to a halt across entire Middle East and Africa region; this can be attributed to lowered production activities and disruption of manufacturing in many countries in these regions. Irrespective of the previous projections regarding steady growth of the tunnel lighting market in the MEA due to escalating demand of LEDs, to enhance resource utilization, improve efficiencies, and enhance driver safety, in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the imposition of travel restrictions and disruption of supply chains are limiting the tunnel lighting market growth to a certain extent. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on this market has been huge both as a merit and demerit. However, it will certainly see a heavy rise after the pandemic.

Market Overview and Dynamics

The tunnel lighting market in MEA is expected to grow from US$ 88.73 million in 2021 to US$ 134.53 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2021 to 2028. Roadways tunnels are among the most accident-prone zones when it comes to road transport, especially highways, as the vehicles are travelling at a high speed. It is vital to maintain sufficient lighting conditions inside the tunnel to ensure smooth flow of traffic as vehicle drivers can identify obstacles and navigate through the tunnel without reducing speed. Various regulations are enacted with strong emphasis on preventing road accidents and enhancing safety of vehicles inside the tunnel, which tunnel lighting systems need to adhere to. For instance, the CIE guidance for tunnel lighting system requires system integrators to consider five key areas – Access Zone Tunnel Lighting System, Threshold Zone Tunnel Lighting System, Transition Zone Tunnel Lighting System, Interior Zone Tunnel Lighting System, and Exit Zone Tunnel Lighting System. Moreover, the growing road network in remote and mountainous terrains is leading to construction of new roadway tunnels. Thus, the growing development of roadway tunnels, coupled with increasing importance of road safety, is driving the tunnel lighting market.
