The UAE LED market has great potential
The new regulations in West Asia and the United Arab Emirates stipulate that low-efficiency traditional lamps will be phased out starting from July 1, 2014, and the implementation of recycling and disposal methods will be standardized. The UAE will first lead the implementation of lighting standards and regulations throughout the Middle East. In accordance with the directives of the UAE Standardization and Metrology Authority (ESMA), on December 31, 2014, the sale of standard incandescent bulbs in West Asia and the UAE was officially banned. Due to the UAE’s new regulations on the import and sale of incandescent lamps in residential areas, the sales of LED lighting solutions in the UAE are expected to increase significantly.
It is expected that the implementation of the new regulations in West Asia and the UAE will save nearly 200 million US dollars in energy bills each year, reducing carbon emissions equivalent to the emissions of 165,000 vehicles on the road each year. At the same time, it can be seen that the UAE's LED market has great potential, and it has not yet achieved full popularity. In 2020, Dubai in the UAE will host the World Expo, which will bring continuous growth and huge demand for the development of the LED industry. Especially under the implementation of China's "One Belt One Road" strategy, the relationship between China and the UAE will become closer, and more and more cooperation in infrastructure, energy and other aspects will also be reached.
