Upcoming Trade Shows in Sweden for Lighting
Stockholm Furniture Fair 2025, Stockholm, Sweden
4 - 8 Feb 2025
Sweden’s lighting industry has expertly adapted to a quickly changing environment shaped by both rapid technological advancements and stringent regulatory changes. This is most evident in the country’s electric lighting equipment manufacturing industry, whose market size is projected to reach €717.6 million in 2024, though growth has been modest since 2019. The EU’s ban on halogen lamps and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic pumped the breaks on the pace of the industry’s expansion.
The European Union’s decision to phase out halogen lamps, first with the 2018 ban on certain types and then the complete ban in 2021, has been a pivotal moment that altered the industry’s trajectory. These regulations, aimed at promoting energy efficiency, have pushed manufacturers in Sweden’s lighting industry to shift focus toward more sustainable lighting solutions. This shift has benefited companies producing LED lighting and other energy-efficient technologies, while halogen lamp manufacturers have seen a significant decline in demand. The strict energy labelling regulations accompanying the halogen lamp ban have further incentivized manufacturers to develop and market more energy-efficient products. This regulatory push aligns with Sweden’s broader environmental goals and has accelerated the adoption of LED technology across the country.
The industry in Sweden comprises 195 businesses as of 2024, with major players like AMS Osram AG, Signify NV, and General Electric International Inc. leading the market. These companies are capitalizing on the growing demand for innovative lighting solutions, particularly in sectors such as automotive lighting, where LED technology is becoming increasingly prevalent. AMS Osram holds the largest market share, relying on its extensive product range and strong global presence. The company’s focus on automotive LED lightbulbs and networked lighting solutions positions it well to capitalize on the industry's evolving trends. Meanwhile, the level of competition within the sector remains moderate as companies strive to differentiate themselves through technological advancements and sustainability initiatives.
