The lighting fixtures market in Japan dropped by 7.5% (-9.4% in YEN) in 2020 to a market value of US$ 6.3 billion (YEN 673 billion). The recovery in 2021 (+2.8% in USD y-o-y in 2021), driven by the global economy and government spending, is expected to be moderate as the reintroduction of sanitary measures in early 2021 has dented near-term economic prospects.

In 2020, in Japan less than 10% of the local consumption was satisfied by imports (US$ 659 million); China remains the top importing country (76% of the total import value). Exports only amounted to US$ 60 million (only 1% of the production).

The LED-base lighting fixtures segment has almost reached 98% of the market. As it has almost saturated the market, the industry has identified Connected Smart Lighting (CSL) and Human Centric Lighting (HCL) as the next propelling force that will guide the market in the next future.
