Portable Light Towers Market

Market Introduction & Outlook

Portable light towers are characteristically an array of high intensity lights mounted on a telescopic mast, which is anchored to a highway capable chassis. The chassis stocks either a diesel or gasoline engine that drives a generator as an electricity supply source to the lights. Some portable light towers are battery operated so as to meet silent operation requirements. Portable light towers serve a key role in aiding essential operations carried out across a diverse range of industries.

Portable light towers are light sources that are easy to transport and quick to deploy, which enables their adoption in varied locations as per different requirements. A portable light tower is a vital source of light essential for continuing specific tasks in extreme darkness or at night time. Portable light towers find a varied range of applications across multiple industry sectors, including those at highly sensitive defense installations in the military and defense sector.

In the rapidly growing economies of China and India, infrastructure development and construction industry size have been growing at a rapid pace. Simultaneously, safety during work at night times has also become a sensitive need to be addressed on high priority. This trend has been favorably impacting the demand growth of portable light towers, which play a major role in implementing night work safety procedures. Hence, non-glare portable light towers are proving to be the preferred alternative for conventional, low intensity makeshift bulbs perilously installed or hung on reinforcement bars at construction sites. This has been the case across a multitude of industries, which in turn has created a positive outlook for the global portable light towers market. The positive outlook for the market can also be attributed took the fact that portable light towers are already witnessing high demand, which is expected to further surge in the coming years in developed nations as well.

Considering these important aspects of applications of portable light towers, the study of portable light towers becomes an important read.

R&D Efforts for Non-Glare Products to meet Augmented Safety Requirements

It has been observed that light sources having an inherent disadvantage of glare are phasing out in most applications. This is on account of their replacement by new, advanced versions of portable light towers that have been specifically developed through research & development efforts. These lights offer a non-glare feature with regard to the light type, which is an extremely indispensable feature with regard to customers, in recent times. This is so because the non-glare feature is directly linked to the safety of the personnel and other human presence, such as pedestrians, with close physical proximity to the areas of operation.

Regional Market Outlook

In terms of geography, the portable light towers market has been divided into seven regions -- North America, Latin America, Europe, South East Asia (SEA) and Rest of APAC, China, Japan and Middle-East & Africa. North America and China are expected to be the dominant markets for portable light towers due to already high volume sales and a growing population coupled with the increasing demand for portable light tower applications across a diverse range of industries. Europe and SEA & APAC are expected to be the next most important regional markets for portable light towers – Germany, France and the U.K. are key countries in the European region. The portable light towers market in China and other Asian countries is expected to be the most promising one for players over the forecast period in terms of growth rate, owing to various factors such as rapidly developing infrastructure, coupled with the speedy growth of various industries, and increasing deployment of portable light towers in these industries.

Each piece of information is eventually analyzed during the entire research project, which builds a strong base for primary research information.

Primary research participants include demand-side respondents, such as marketing managers, and procurement managers as well as key opinion leaders in addition to supply-side respondents, such as sales professionals at the manufacturers’ end, distributors, wholesalers and exporters, who provide valuable insights on trends, research applications of products and technologies, procuring patterns, services offered and associated pricing.

Vendor Developments

In April 2018, Larson Electronics LLC, a major industrial lighting industry participant, launched a 150-watt quadpod mounted explosion-proof LED portable light tower. The portable light tower is capable of illuminating an area up to 9,500 square feet with 17,500 lumens of bright illumination. It is also an adjustable Cree LED light tower designed not just for portability but also as one which could withstand durable operation in harsh, demanding conditions such as emergency services, and harsh environment industry applications such as mining, construction, marine and industrial operations.

Apart from this, the company, in the same month, launched a five-stage portable light tower notified as a telescoping tower. It is fitted with an integrated IP camera that provides a safe and effective way to monitor secure locations from an elevated position. This security tower system features a telescoping boom that reaches 30 feet, a full-HD security camera and a blue LED strobe lamp to deter unauthorized personnel. The blue LED strobe light is Class I rated and produces 360 degrees of brilliant high-quality light, acting as a deterrent.
