CFLs are the major product segment, but LED lighting is gaining market share. Though LED lighting is a niche market, it is expected to gain mainstream acceptance as LED prices fall. The residential application segment remains the largest consumer of lighting sources. Germany and the United Kingdom are expected to lead growth over the forecast period. Other major markets like Spain and Italy will show slower growth given their economic conditions. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/report-toc.pag?Src=RSS&repid=M7A2-01-00-00-00 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 01:01:32 +0000 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/report-toc.pag?Src=RSS&repid=M7A2-01-00-00-00 Market Engineering Research Growing demand for electricity in the country, rising environmental awareness, rampant depletion of coal reserves, energy generation options, and aggressive National Solar Mission goals have pushed India toward alternate and efficient sources of energy in the country. Therefore, the Government has decided to generate a substantial portion of the energy from renewable sources, especially from solar power which will help to make BIPV popular, giving rise to a potential market for the solar power industry. Hence, solar energy is gaining momentum in India in order to mitigate the erratic and poor quality of power supply. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/report-toc.pag?Src=RSS&repid=9835-00-3A-00-00 Fri, 6 Jan 2012 09:37:31 +0000 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/report-toc.pag?Src=RSS&repid=9835-00-3A-00-00 Market Engineering Research Service The Voice Alarms market is still in an early stage of development in large parts of the world and promises good growth potential.
