Polycab reported lighting-industry price erosion above 15% in FY2024-25, following declines exceeding 30% in FY2023-24 and 20% in FY2022-23. This pattern raises the importance of procurement efficiency, product architecture, warranty-cost management and mix improvement. Companies that compete principally through standardized lamps may therefore experience weaker revenue conversion than businesses with differentiated luminaires, controls and professional project portfolios. **Data used:** More than 15% price erosion (FY2024-25); more than 30% price erosion (FY2023-24) **So what:** Management teams should track gross margin by product family and aggressively migrate sales toward differentiated, less price-sensitive applications. #### Q: How does India compare with relevant Asian LED lighting markets? **A:** India ranks second by estimated current market value within the report's selected peer set of China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Bangladesh. Its scale is supported by one of the world's deepest mass-market LED replacement bases, while forecast growth remains stronger than several more mature comparators. Indonesia is positioned as a faster-growth emerging peer, whereas China remains larger in absolute value. India's differentiator is the combination of domestic demand scale, government efficiency programs and an explicit manufacturing-localization framework for LED components. **Data used:** 2nd rank in selected peer set (2025); 13.90% India forecast CAGR **So what:** India offers a combination of scale and growth that supports both domestic-market investment and export-oriented component localization strategies. #### Q: Which demand driver is most important for future LED lighting growth? **A:** Replacement and value upgrading of India's enormous installed LED base is the most important structural demand driver. By January 2025, UJALA had distributed 36.87 crore bulbs and helped stimulate cumulative market sales of 407.92 crore LED bulbs. As earlier installations reach replacement age, customers increasingly have access to higher-efficiency, sensor-enabled and connected alternatives. This creates a second-generation demand cycle that differs from the original LED-conversion wave because revenue can be captured through functionality, automation, design and system integration rather than energy efficiency alone. **Data used:** 36.87 crore UJALA bulbs distributed (January 2025); 407.92 crore cumulative market bulb sales **So what:** Product roadmaps should target replacement cohorts with clear upgrade propositions rather than treating the market as a first-time conversion opportunity. --- ## Table of Contents # Table of Contents ### Market Report Structure Comprehensive coverage across three strategic phases, Market Assessment, Go-To-Market Strategy, and Survey, delivering end-to-end insights from market analysis and execution roadmap to customer demand validation. ## Market Assessment Phase Supply-side and competitive intelligence covering market sizing, segmentation, competitive dynamics, regulatory landscape, and future forecasts. ### 1.
