In March of this year, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a comprehensive new legislative package called the Sustainable Products Initiative (SPI). Part of the Commission’s flagship Green Deal, the SPI essentially aims to ensure that only the most sustainable products are sold in Europe.

Sustainability Initiatives

To do this, the proposals included in the SPI look to empower consumers to save energy, repair products, and make smart environmental choices when shopping for new products.

Of particular interest to the lighting industry is the SPI’s proposal for an Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). This would repeal and replace the current Ecodesign Directive that our industry is by now very much familiar with. Like the Ecodesign Directive, details as to what is and is not sustainable will be decided at the product level.

The ESPR will, without a doubt, require even more from the lighting industry. In addition to the energy efficiency requirements of the current regulation, the ESPR will include specific requirements relating to life cycle, durability, use of recycled content, repairability, and raw material usage.

All these new sustainability requirements will be evaluated and introduced in product specific rules, also for lighting. Thanks to our industry’s wealth of experience with the Ecodesign Directive, and LightingEurope’s leadership on the file, we are well-positioned to shape the next generation of lighting requirements.

  • A Crowded Landscape

But the ESPR is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s a whole slew of sustainability initiatives on the horizon, each of which will have a direct impact on the lighting industry.

Take for example the initiatives designed to empower consumers by preventing so-called ‘greenwashing’. Under these proposals, companies will not only be required to substantiate any claims relating to a product’s sustainability, they’ll have to do so using the methods set out in the Substantiating Green Claims initiative. Any claim that does not follow such methods will be deemed misleading and be subject to sanctions.

Other key initiatives include:

● Right to Repair: a series of measures that aim to foster a circular economy by ensuring that products can be repaired and not simply replaced.
● Construction Products Regulation: establishes harmonised rules on sustainability for construction products.
● EU Green Taxonomy: provide companies, investors, and policymakers with definitions for which economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable and should be prioritised for financial investment and public contracts.
● EU Green Public Procurement (GPP): introduces green requirements in public tenders.
●  Corporate Governance Sustainability Reporting: establishes requirements for how companies report on their Environmental – Social – Governance (ESG) performance.

On top of these new initiatives, the European Commission is also expected to review and update such regulations as the Waste Framework Directive (WFD); Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive; Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive; and Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation.

  • What the Lighting Industry Can Expect

What does all this mean for the lighting industry?

To start, companies will need to rethink how they design their products. In addition to being energy efficient and complying with the recently introduced quality parameters and labelling requirements, products will also need to be designed so that they are repairable and offer increased durability – both of which will require that necessary spare parts are available for several years. While the latter could open new revenue streams for OEMs, they must also be prepared to compete against other companies producing and selling these spare parts.

Recruiting and holding on to qualified staff experienced in sustainable product design and manufacturing will also become increasingly challenging. The EU regulatory drive on sustainability is directly impacting all sectors, from textile to electronics or cement, and all these companies are quickly trying to build up capacity internally to stay ahead of the regulatory trends and the market.

Sales may decrease, not only because products are more durable but also because their cost is very likely to increase. Customers will ultimately have to cover the cost of the additional investment needed to redesign products and processes, and regulators acknowledge this.

The amount of information that companies will be obliged to collect and make available will increase exponentially. LightingEurope expects that today’s Energy Label will evolve into a Sustainability Label that could also include a repairability score and a lifecycle assessment. Furthermore, as previously mentioned, companies must ensure that any and all sustainability claims can be fully substantiated with evidence.

Last but not least, we expect to see Digital Product Passports (DPP) used to report information for each single product – including every substance found in a product. Considering that many electronic products contain up to 4,000 different substances, DPP reporting requirements could end up being extremely cumbersome.

German logistics company Deutsche Post DHL does not expect freight costs to ease this year and is advising customers to agree longer-term contracts as a hedge, the head of the DHL freight business said in an interview.

“The short-term rate will rise a little in air and ocean freight, the long-term rate will probably remain at the 2021 level,” Tim Scharwath told Reuters.

“In air freight, the rate might even go up a little bit more in the short term, there is even tighter capacity there.”

freight rates

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely disrupted global supply chains, slowing flows of raw materials, parts and consumer goods.

Shortages of freight capacity – both ocean and air – have pushed up shipping costs globally, with the pandemic also extending port waiting times due to labour shortages and traffic disruptions.

U.S. rival FedEx Corp (FDX.N) warned this month that rising cases of the Omicron coronavirus variant has caused staff shortages and delays in shipments transported on aircraft.

“In sea freight, we will not return to the rates we had before the coronavirus crisis,” Scharwath said.

“If you want to sell a stool for 10 euros from China, then this can become a problem due to the transport costs,” he said. “This will also force a review of some business models.”

Scharwath recommended that customers sign contracts for two to three years to hedge against future price rises: “You buy stability through long-term commitment.”

The DHL freight unit expects the high rates to continue to buoy profits in 2022: “Our goal is to keep the operating result at least at the high level we had in the first nine months of 2021,” Scharwath said.

The division, which employs more than 42,000 people and was once the group’s problem child, has become a profit generator under Scharwath’s direction.

He wants to keep the operating margin above 5.5% by 2025. The unit recorded a margin of 5.7% in the first nine months of 2021.

DHL says its freight division is the market leader in the air freight market ahead of Kuehne+Nagel (KNIN.S), and number two in sea freight among logistics firms behind that company.

Aluminum surged to a 13-year high in London as booming demand and a swath of smelter closures from China to Europe bring the risk of shortages of the crucial industrial metal.

Prices rose as much as 3.3% to $3,236 a ton on the London Metal Exchange, surpassing a peak in October to reach the highest since 2008. Aluminum is the best performer on the LME this year, and the next target for bullish investors who’ve been drawn into the rapidly tightening market is an all-time high above $3,380.

Key raw materials from nickel to crude oil have surged in recent months as consumption has risen sharply with the world emerging from the pandemic while supply hasn’t kept up, stoking inflation concerns. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. raised its 12-month target on aluminum to a record $4,000 a ton, citing supply disruptions stemming from power rationing in China and Europe at a time of “exceptional” developed-market demand.

“Aluminum markets are facing a melt-up in prices this year, driven by simultaneous deficits in both China and ex-China drawing on already low stock of inventory,” Goldman analysts including Nicholas Snowdon and Jeffrey Currie said in a note.

Aluminum hits highest

The global aluminum market is in the widest backwardation since 2018, and prices have risen 13% in London this year.

With smelters in Europe battling an energy crisis and Chinese supply at risk from a burgeoning Covid outbreak, buyers are drawing rapidly from stockpiles and pushing them to critically low levels.

“A key attribute of physical scarcity is that it has a propensity to spread, creating additional volatility in prices throughout the economy,” the Goldman analysts said in the emailed note.

The Bloomberg Commodity Spot Index, which tracks energy, metals and crop prices, climbed to its highest ever this month, and has more than doubled from a four-year low reached early in the pandemic.

Aluminum rose 1.6% to settle at $3,183 a ton at 5:53 p.m. on the LME. Other main LME metals were mixed, with copper little changed and nickel falling.

“It’s a perfect storm for aluminum right now, with the European energy crisis and the situation in China still restricting supply,” said Wenyu Yao, senior commodities strategist at ING Bank. Some investors have been long aluminum while shorting copper, according to Yao.

Companies are bracing for more steep increases in shipping and logistics prices next year after supply-chain costs soared in the scramble to move goods during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Transportation and logistics providers are seeking big boosts in prices for contracts for the coming year, signaling that the inflationary pressure driven by strong demand and tight capacity in freight markets is likely to persist.

Shipping and Logistics Costs

With high shipping demand still far outweighing tight capacity across the freight sector, industry experts say transport operators have the leverage to raise prices when negotiating new contracts. Ocean-shipping executives say they expect the rates set in many annual contracts will double compared with agreements struck earlier this year, before supply-chain bottlenecks squeezed capacity. Some trucking companies project double-digit growth in contract rates for 2022.

Prices have been rising across the freight sector, including in parcel delivery, trucking, ocean shipping and warehousing. Most freight-transportation contracts are negotiated annually, although many large shippers may have multiyear agreements with a variety of carriers.

“I think folks are a little shell-shocked at the moment,” said Todd Bulmash, a logistics executive and board member at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. “They’re preparing for the worst.”

Pricing in most freight transport and logistics markets generally slides between largely stable long-term contract rates and spot-market pricing that is more sensitive to shifts in demand and the availability of capacity. Prices in spot markets for ocean shipping, trucking and other logistics services have escalated sharply this year.

Overall, domestic shipping rates for moving goods by road and rail in the U.S. are up about 23% this year from 2020, according to Cass Information Systems Inc., which handles freight payments for companies.

A separate measure in the Logistics Managers’ Index that tracks overall logistics prices, including transportation, warehousing and inventory prices, reached a record in November, up 3.4% from October and a 14% increase year-over-year. The index was launched in 2016.

Trucking companies and other logistics firms note their own higher costs, including rising salaries as they have sought workers in a tight labor market.

“As long as we have underlying inflation across the economy, you’re going to see that inflation reflected in the cost of goods and services to include trucking,” said Derek Leathers, chief executive of Omaha, Neb.-based truckload carrier Werner Enterprises Inc.

Mr. Leathers, who said contract rates could rise by high single-digit to mid-double-digit percentages in 2022, expects price increases to moderate as transportation demand eases and companies finish replenishing depleted inventories. However, he said, “We don’t foresee that until 2023. All of 2022 we view as a capacity-constrained market with inflationary pressure and with significant equipment disruptions.”

The parcel-shipping prices that are closest to consumers are rising at the fastest pace in nearly a decade as pandemic-driven demand shifts pricing power to carriers that deliver packages to homes and businesses. Delivery giants FedEx Corp. and United Parcel Service Inc. both said rates would go up an average of 5.9% next year across most services, the first time in eight years that either company had annual increases above 4.9%.

Prices to ship sea containers are likely to reach records under annual contracts that are usually negotiated early in the year for the peak shipping season, according to Xeneta, a Norway-based transportation data and procurement specialist.

Xeneta said the spot price to ship a 40-foot container from Shanghai to Los Angeles earlier this month was 75% higher than the same time last year. Carriers “go into contract negotiations right now holding the lion’s share of the aces,” said Peter Sand, Xeneta’s chief analyst.

  • Europe LED lighting market | EU ban on halogen lamps

The EU’s step to embrace and promote energy-efficient lighting across a plethora of different industrial & commercial sectors by imposing a continent-wide ban on the sale of conventional non-directional halogen lamps on the 1st of September 2018 is projected to accelerate the adoption of LED lighting in the region, thereby boosting Europe LED lighting market size exponentially. The latest policy is expected to prompt consumers to gradually phase out their inefficient, old and obsolete halogen lamps and replace them with the latest LED lamps.

According to a report by the European Commission, switching to LED lamps from an average halogen lamp would save consumers approximately EUR115 over the entire lifetime of the LED, which is at least 20 years. Moreover, the switch would be bringing annual energy savings to about 48.0 TWh of electricity and save over 15.2 million tons of CO2 emissions by 2025, thereby significantly driving the growth prospects of the Europe LED lighting market.

  • Europe LED lighting market | Smart city initiatives

The Europe LED lighting market is also fueled by new installations where consumers, spurred by greater energy cost savings, are replacing their conventional lighting solutions. Indeed, new installations, which accounted for a revenue share of approximately 65% of the industry share according to a 2017 estimate, would be witnessing sizable gains over 2018-2024, attributed to the EU’s ban on the distribution & sale of conventional one-directional halogen lamps.

Smart city initiatives being adopted by the governments across the continent would also be responsible for influencing the regional LED lighting sales further. The Europe LED lighting industry is expected to traverse alongside a highly lucrative path, powered by the escalating incorporation of smart lighting solutions across a plethora of outdoor and indoor spaces.

  • Europe LED lighting market | Surging product demand from commercial applications

The rising rate at which LED lightings are being incorporated across commercial buildings & offices, hospitality centers and healthcare facilities throughout the continent will ensure that Europe LED lighting market would most certainly depict an appreciable growth rate in the years ahead. The application of LED lights in commercial applications is gaining considerable prominence due to the modern and stylish aesthetics the systems bring with them.

In commercial setups such as banks & offices, LED lights facilitate an improved working environment for the employees. Moreover, the added advantage of enhanced energy cost savings offered by LED lights would be responsible for the system’s incorporation across the commercial sector, driving the growth of the Europe LED lighting industry.

Attributed to the most prominent trends mentioned herewith, it is rather overt that the Europe LED lighting industry is well positioned to acquire sizable gains in the years to come. The projection is further supported by a report from Global Market Insights, Inc., claiming that the Europe LED lighting market size will exceed a valuation of more than $30 billion by 2024.
