The past few years have marked a dramatic shift in priorities for businesses operating within the industrial sector. Not only has employee safety become increasingly more important, but growing pressure to achieve sustainability goals have come to the forefront, bringing new decision-makers into the purchasing process to ensure that long-term value, product performance, and corporate social responsibility are not sacrificed for a cheaper upfront cost.
While in the past industrial decision-makers might have overlooked lighting as a key driver of these objectives, that is starting to change, owing to more advancements and research regarding lighting’s direct impact on plant safety, energy efficiency, decarbonization, cost savings and its emerging potential in offering functionality and data beyond illumination. In 2024, we expect industrial leaders to place a premium on the features and measurements that will de-risk their organizations, increase capital investment and ensure the impact of switching from antiquated legacy lighting to alternative solutions like LEDs will deliver on their needs over the long-term. Here are the four main trends shaping these actions in 2024.
