Lighting & Bulb Manufacturing in Canada industry analysis

Lighting and bulb manufacturing in Canada is dying. The industry has been affected by regulations that have required operators to begin discontinuing products, affecting demand for products. In 2014, the government banned 75- and 100-watt incandescent bulbs, and in 2015, 40- and 60-watt incandescent bulbs were banned. While manufacturers were permitted to sell their existing inventories, consumers responded by opting to stockpile large qualities of the bulbs already on the market. Revenue has been falling at a CAGR of 13.9% over the past five years, including stagnating in the current year, and is expected to total $45.6 million in 2023, with profit set to reach 31.9%.Federal regulations aimed at promoting energy efficiency have banned incandescent light bulbs, which has significantly reduced demand for industry products. Sales of industry products have been gradually displaced by solid-state, light-emitting diode (LED) sources. With an increasing interest in green products, many consumers have switched to LEDs to save energy. As a result, the industry has lost revenue to the Semiconductor and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing industry in Canada (IBISWorld report 33441CA), which manufactures LED products.Contractors and homeowners are both expected to increasingly opt for LED lighting systems over industry products, significantly reducing downstream demand for halogen and fluorescent bulbs. Lighting and bulb manufacturing revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.3% to $48.7 million over the five years to 2028, when profit is estimated to reach 33.9%.

Trends and Insights

  • The Canadian government formed regulations in 2007 designed to eliminate most incandescent bulbs from the market, but they didn’t go into full effect until 2015. Both production of and demand for industry products are declining as operators switch from the production of incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) to LEDs.
  • Growth in domestic housing starts increased the customer base for residential lighting systems.But the sales of residential lighting systems declined in overall value in the last few years alongside the overall industry decline.
  • Similar to most Canadian manufacturing industries, Ontario dominates in terms of establishment concentration. Ontario benefits from a relatively high population density that facilitates access to raw materials, labour and downstream markets.
  • The industry is slowing down. Large manufacturers face strong competition from foreign producers and LED manufacturers, causing the industry to shrink and discouraging new manufacturers from entering the industry.
